So, what are we talking about here? Playing Heroes, or making money and getting noticed by someone?

There are two main goals.
1. Making money. Although, I'm not sure yet what this "money" has done to offend me. :smile33:
2. Getting noticed by someone. In principle, it doesn't even matter who. :)

But seriously, read my first posts more carefully, and don't pull out individual phrases from the overall text, as this changes the whole meaning.

“Selling” it means offering your idea to someone. The benefits here are not material, but spiritual, and quite significant. There are quite a few serious, thoughtful people in the country who play strategy games; if specialized magazines have successfully survived the crisis, it means there's an audience. Thousands of people will read such a report, and for some of them, a good article in the magazine might be an incentive to become more seriously interested in Heroes. Wouldn't you yourself refuse to read a well-illustrated report about your favorite game? Believe me, there are enough people who don't play online and don't hang out on forums, for whom Heroes, including Heroes II, will forever remain in their hearts.

As for "getting noticed," I would gladly offer such material to the magazine "Cosmopolitan"; I guarantee that many attractive young blondes read it. :D
But the editorial board wouldn't take it. They would take a report about a stripper-motorcyclist competition, but not ours. Therefore, you can only get noticed by those who like to sit at a computer playing games.

In my opinion, the tournament can only be held in two places. The first option is Siberia (Novosibirsk?), since the majority of active Heroes of Might and Magic II players are from there.
The second is Moscow.
In the first case, several people from the European part of Russia travel to Dust and Co. In the second, the opposite.
Playing is easiest on several laptops, so that no one complains about the legitimacy. And why wouldn't cooperation with a magazine be helpful? They have connections with Buku and FKS – and through them, we can try to gain legitimacy for our tournaments, not only for Heroes II.
