Roman, thank you :)
So far everything is fine, no complaints. There is a conscious part of the players who will apparently make it to the playoffs.
Now I'd like to bring up another unfortunate matter for discussion. Yesterday I was very displeased with the behavior of one of the participants.
I won't name names, but keep in mind: let's not have any more such disgusting behavior!
The situation: Player A vs Player B.
They chose random towns. Player A has a good layout, Player B has what's shown in the screenshots. Note — he's on a tiny patch of land, with no mines, no exits through rough terrain, and on the road there's a block of 50-99 devil eyes in front of a Pandora's box and an artifact. What to do there — unclear. In such cases, I tell my opponent that I have a block, and no one has ever argued with me. If someone suddenly refused a restart in a tournament game, I would play, put griffins in the Citadel, feed all the XP to one hero to level him up at least a bit, and fight those devil eyes at 121. Most likely, I'd lose if there are around 90 of them. Even if I got through, I'd lose most of my army. At 121 you're supposed to break a tier-3 conflux, not try to crawl out of your spawn point losing your entire army!
Player B writes to his opponent that he has a block and asks for a restart.
He gets a refusal. He insists. Then Player A sends me the save so I can take a look. I look at it and say this is clearly a block. Player A seems to agree, then looks at the save himself, and starts arguing with ME that it's not a block. I send him a polite reply and forget about it.
A bit later, Player C (not in the tournament) messages me and keeps trying to convince me that it wasn't a block, that supposedly you can break through on the second week, and the guy is to blame for choosing random and getting unlucky, and let him do whatever he wants, etc. This infuriated me the most — for a while, I, a reasonable person, could only swear. So, without going into details, I repeat for everyone: THIS IS A BLOCK.
You may refuse a restart in such cases: a restart due to a severe block is not stipulated in the rules, and formally, by the letter of the law, you would be right. But what pleasure will you get from defeating an opponent who is stronger, by trapping him in a hopeless bag?? Yes, it's a tournament game, tough, you don't have to give an auto-loss surrender, but a restart due to a block!
Learn to be more open-minded, to rise above petty victories, and then real, well-deserved victories will come to you. I hope this doesn't happen again
