Generally, the idea of premier leagues, RP, and other "best" tournaments doesn’t inspire me. It’s not really for my character, so to speak. I’m more interested in playing not too long, but memorable tournaments. And what’s here? First, the same SM template. Second, the same people. Well, suppose I somehow win a prize place — what then? Play in the league, in my own little circle?
IMHO, this tournament should be positioned as a continuation of the idea behind the Jebus Cross tournament. And start it when that one ends (or nearly ends).
The idea is to explore new templates that are played in other countries. To play more effectively with them later. And position the tournament simply as a "championship of all HeroesWorld." Make it quick and regular (Swiss only), and based on the results (of several rounds), form a national team.
The idea of the "mailing list" (the rationale) behind tournaments like RP and the Premier League doesn’t seem particularly relevant for HeroesWorld right now (maybe it will resurface later). First, we need to work out new standard rules (SoD and SM have exhausted themselves, let Portal rot in them) regarding the game version and templates, and then, depending on the situation, see if a league of the best is needed. By and large, people already know who plays how.
I already did that :) definitely - the tournament will have a maximum of templates - that’s its main highlight.
there is an idea for such a tournament - but all mass tournaments should run on SoD, and the introduction of the Lite version of TE is a matter of time - I see many already playing on Lite. The rules allow playing TE or TE Lite by mutual agreement.
Moreover, look at the game version in the inter-portal event — 3 out of 4 Lithuanians expressed a desire to play on TE. So, it’s highly likely that for future inter-portal events, we’ll have to field TE players, or at least negotiate with the Lithuanians about playing on Lite. The latter, by the way, seems quite reasonable, as it could increase the number of participants in HeroesWorld tournaments with foreign players.
In the match Bay vs Poles, the main game version was also a slightly cut-down TE (cut only by settings, without changing scripts, as done in Lite). And on the same templates as the Lithuanians. If a prepared team is formed, we could challenge the Poles too — they play stronger than the Lithuanians (judging by the results of Bay’s matches against them).
well why two and not one? Because for those who only played SM - learning Jebus Cross is a hassle? practically everyone will be in the same conditions - there will be many templates and it’s unlikely anyone knows them all.
IMHO, the optimal set is SM, Jebus Cross, Balance, Panic. And don’t give players the right to change the template to SM by mutual agreement (control of saves), but instead, give them the right to play something else instead of SM.
