Here's a photo album of one well-known comrade.
2 Dust. Wow, thanks, it immediately brought back those times. Especially Lord Maniac, Vitaly. He was an amazing person. It was with him that the St. Petersburg Tournaments began as a mass Heroes movement, and essentially, the club tournaments as such in the CIS, because both Perm and we started playing club tournaments in 2000, after reading his reports on the Master of Lightning website, following his rules and using St. Petersburg maps.
And Portal and League of Heroes later played maps from their tournaments.
No one knew how to write match reports back then, so Vitaly wrote all the reports himself. He had up to 100 people playing in city championships, and he managed to prepare all the reports, and they were so good that you wouldn't be ashamed to read them even now. That's dozens and hundreds of matches.
And his communication style and ability to listen to the other person – that deserves a separate story; he was truly a genuine St. Petersburg intellectual.
Lord Maniac, Chaos, Alan Prost, Antal, Dilvish – in my opinion, the Heroes community doesn't currently have leaders of that scale and charisma. Well, maybe Stinger, as a player, because he doesn't position himself as an organizer.
I don't know, but I still hope that we will raise a new wave of charismatic and intelligent leaders, even stronger than the old ones.
