"The Art of Strategy"

Since all games of the first stage of the final round have been played, I would like to remind you that the factions for the next stage are determined randomly. The following scheme is used to determine the factions: players create a game on the standard map "Old Friends," and the factions are set randomly. The heroes that appear at the beginning are irrelevant – the generated map will still have heroes placed randomly. The resulting setup is communicated to the judge to generate the map in the following format: (red, ) versus (blue, ).
Each player has the right to one restart when determining the faction setup; a technical restart is also performed if there is a mirror match that does not suit either of the two players. The judge is informed of the final setup.
