I don't want to offend anyone, but this tournament seems like just another event with a flashy name. In my opinion, for it to reach the level of a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, it should have 200+ participants; then it would be impressive in scale. The rules are tailored for "hardcore players" (in my opinion, this word describes them most accurately) who focus on specific builds, balance, and panic strategies (which, combined, form a single template due to the similarity in tactics and game strategy). Naturally, these people (and everyone here knows the main one) will stubbornly eliminate 8mm and then, with a high probability, use Jebus. It would have been much better to come up with something more successful based on different templates (for example, randomness, trading, or adding 6LM and 8HM, Spider, and nostalgia). And, as I said before, it would be good to add a truly strong element, something special besides the name, to attract players. For now, only a large number of participants can achieve this.
Sorry for the criticism.
Many people have played different templates and identified their priorities.
There's no point in arguing about which one is better; each has its pros and cons.
This kind of tournament will be useful, at least to break out of one's narrow-mindedness.
I will participate to broaden my horizons. I know English, German, a little Spanish and Polish, and there are people who can help with Chinese and Japanese
