2009 World Championship for Heroes IV Online.

"Am I not being clear enough?", he said, squeezing my neck even tighter )))) Either you're joking, or you think no one reads your posts.

It's just a way of expressing thoughts :)

Backroom deals are killing it. Especially this idea with a commission for selecting maps )) Who needs that? A commission, a council, all these words. What's the point of it now? People, let's not stray too far from reality. There are only five of us here. God willing, there will be at least 10, those who actively discuss the Competitive.

Because not everyone is competent in providing expert evaluations of maps. Even Equi has created an "Expert Wisdom" section. Besides, I don't think the selection process should be "behind closed doors." It should be open, with arguments, so that no one feels offended. But we need to weed out the bad ones. No matter how much you try, Eldorado won't work at the Tournaments.

If you see an alternative method that will be clearly regulated, then suggest it. But not "by agreement" – that's not serious.

Oxy, let's not use sophistry. Okay? Or am I just unaware that in football, there's an editor for fields, balls, and a standard set with add-ons – it's just that no one wants to use them anymore?

Of course, there is. It's called "backyard football." There, you can play with two balls, in one goal without a net, and with girls and boys of different ages, builds, and levels of alcohol intoxication :D Football is a freeware game; change the configuration as you like. But serious Competitions somehow adhere to the same rules. But you wouldn't argue that there are simply tons of possibilities for modification, would you? ;)

Here you go again. Randomness is a matter of chance. You can't test a map with randomness. There will be 2 months to achieve an accurate calculation and a detailed understanding of half of the maps. Even Bizarre can be understood and predicted. In the given time, a sufficient number of new maps will become well-known. So, my position is firm on this.

I'm not against it, what are you talking about!? As long as there isn't something new that is simply impossible to balance in two months, like Lion's Muzzle, BoU, or Eldorado.

Online Heroes 4 Tournaments on AS. They create a theme for the tournament, select new maps to match it, and play. Always new maps. Very interesting, and it can't be compared to randomness.

I absolutely agree with you. But that's a different story, and we simply aren't ready for that. At least because there isn't an established online community. There are few people, and they are passive. I have no doubt that the top players on AS would crawl on their knees for it if given the chance. But again, it's a matter of preference. Some people enjoy playing an unknown map with a random faction, while others enjoy playing PS with the Order for the hundredth time and also get pleasure from it. We need to give opportunities to everyone because this is not a thematic tournament for fun, but the largest championship of the year.
