Moscow qualifying tournament for Shades of Darkness.

I see, Vitalik's personal squire showed up when he smelled the scent of carrion :)

Yur, take it easy! :) An extra tournament is just an extra opportunity to practice ;)
Besides, the tension in the game is lower on small maps, you can practice fast-clicking, which will be useful in TE :smile44: So, respect to the organizers, the more tournaments, the better!

The downsides are different: if the old guard doesn't show up for the small maps, it will be difficult for Vitalik to redeem himself from these silly suspicions((((((( A player of that caliber should be able to crush opponents easily, but where will he find them? :(
And I already wrote about the separation... although Moscow is a big city, if there is a necessary quota for the final, and both tournaments gather the necessary quorum...
