Michurinsk (6) - Leha, Term, Dust, and three players from Yekaterinburg.
Kyiv (10) - Aldegyr, Forrest, Volodimer, Preds, Stinger, Cobra, Roland, AlexGreat, Bayazet, and Mike from St. Petersburg.
Two players are willing to travel to either city: Van and Napalm.
A small clarification. According to Vik, Mike from St. Petersburg took 4th place in his qualifying tournament, and only the winners voted.
Therefore, the final result of the finalists' vote is 9-6 in favor of Kyiv! :smile49:
Well, that's a shame. Oh, guys from St. Petersburg, you really let me down; I could have made such a great final. That's all about my disappointment. :smile06: :)
I'm very happy for my friends from Kyiv; I have no doubt that they will hold a great tournament! I'm glad for Sam, he will see all the legendary players; I'm glad for Aldegyr that he will be able to participate; I'm glad for Captain that he will channel his energetic spirit into something good for the Heroes community.
2 Forrest.
I think the best solution would be for the respected Eric to come and organize the tournament in Kyiv personally! (the tournament itself). IMHO
For the tournament to be successful, you need one good central organization.
Sam, Captain, and Gorbik organized the qualifying tournament in Kyiv at a good level. Understanding the much higher level of the final, and learning from the mistakes, they will organize the tournament properly. They have many of their own ideas.
And I will also get involved with my plans. Unfortunately, I'm used to solving all issues myself; even with all the good intentions, conflicts and misunderstandings will arise between the organizers, which could be problematic.
And also, being in a completely foreign city, country, not knowing the local Heroes scene, the club, the players' places of residence, I will be an ineffective organizer, only causing confusion.
Therefore, I believe that I have done my job. I pushed the idea of a universal championship; I hope I somehow helped the organizers in different cities to hold qualifying tournaments with advice. I worked on the preliminary stage, conducted a survey. It seems I did a good job, and with a clear conscience, I pass the organization on to Captain and Sam.
Guys, you will succeed; just keep a cool head. I will try to interfere as little as possible so as not to interfere and disrupt constructive conversations with the players.
All questions about the final are now in your hands.
P.S., I thank Term from St. Petersburg, the players from Yekaterinburg, my good friend Leha, and also my old comrade from the Heroes League, Sibirian Dust, for their support during the vote. I also ask you to support Kyiv and definitely play there; I have no doubt that everything will go at a high level.
Also, please don't look for a black cat in a dark room; it's not there.
I had no disagreements with Sam and Captain; the vote was held in a fair fight, and gentlemanly behavior was expected.
