Going along with Bay's "ultimatum" about some games on TE-full is a dead-end development path for the interportal idea, a loss of potential project scalability. It distances the goal of achieving a truly international status.

Regarding scalability and international status - read the link to HeroesCommunity, where SAG is recruiting a team (link above in the topic). And also the neighboring threads of that resource, including the thread of the previous match.

The mood of the people there is quite clear. For example, "I want in. SoD or TE does not matter. Rules does not matter. Templates does not matter :)" (sic). That's who you should take an example from.

By the way, if you're interested in my opinion, I'm actually much more afraid of WCL than HP and HW. Including because of this kind of position - as I understand it, they've played quite a few games on TE there.

Samurai, Samurai, forget about that League, don't worry about us, worry about yourself ;-) You say you'll learn to play fixed in 2 weeks... hm!? Well, try playing LOM with the same Expert, or Djam, or some Guardians ;-)

Uh-huh. I drew the MvM map myself, tuned it myself, and before the game with Expert (at the last league tournament) I trained on it for exactly one Castle out of 8, simply because I knew Expert's opinion on how to play here, and as a result predicted his bet and color choice absolutely accurately. And I still lost.

Because Expert's level of no-lifing is no lower, and in a couple of complex non-obvious situations on the 2nd week, his higher fixed experience showed.

So I sympathize with anyone who tries to "master" the entire layer of fixed strategies, all the TE features on fixed maps in 2 weeks, not to mention the league fixed maps themselves (which are an order of magnitude more complex than the fixed maps from SoY).
