Nagan-4
Auto-translated
Yeah, and the CIS championship will finally take place, instead of just a Moscow-St. Petersburg-Kyiv get-together.
The tournaments have different goals. It's clear that there were many players from St. Petersburg and Moscow in the CIS final because the level of play in these circles is higher.
But in Michurinsk, everyone has an equal opportunity. It used to be great, traveling to different championships, and having people come to visit you. Heroes players knew each other well, knew each other's true skill level, even down to their family and work situations, so there was always something to talk about when they met.
Then, club tournaments became tiresome for the top players in the Heroes world (5-6 a year, or even more), especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the internet appeared.
It's been 5 years since club tournaments died out, and people are craving live interaction. A whole generation of players has grown up who have only read about the great Krasnodar and St. Petersburg club tournaments, and they want to try what a live tournament and live interaction are like.
That's normal.
