Questions for Qwerty and PReDS.
Guys, can you...
1. Guarantee finding a venue for 2-3 days for the game (one room is enough). Perhaps it would be easier to play on Saturday and Sunday, but is it possible to manage to play at least 3-4 rounds for the masters and still write decent reports? Practice shows that delays can occur for any reason, such as players being late, power outages, connection issues, etc. We also need an extra day - Friday or Monday.
2. Find suitable accommodation for several people for 3 days at relatively reasonable prices.
3. Find some laptops. Although, as I understand it, most Heroes players have laptops for personal use.
4. Encourage Moscow-based players to participate in such a tournament?
If yes, that's great. If there are any issues with some of these points, we need to negotiate with partners (see posts above).
Questions for Dust.
1. How do the Siberians feel about such a championship, including Mike and Ketch? Do they need sponsorship to buy tickets (this will be an important point when negotiating with potential partners).
2. Regarding Izhevsk. Are you familiar with this person - the organizer? They are holding a tournament on December 5-6. There are just over 2 weeks left, and the list of games has already been planned, including a 99% chance of a 3v3 championship, so people are probably practicing.
And suddenly, we appear. Even if the organizers in Izhevsk solve the issues with computers, accommodation, and a venue for the games, they definitely won't fully adapt to our needs.
There are two days allocated for the event - will they finish on time... goodbye to a full-fledged tournament and reports.
We become too dependent on external circumstances.
But for now, we have the opportunity to determine all the conditions ourselves.
P.S. The worst-case scenario is that we don't find partners or sponsors, and it doesn't work out in Moscow either. Then we get on a train, take our laptops, come to my place - I'll find a room for the game, and you can all stay with me :D, sorry - I'll demand reports, since we agreed.
And we'll post really great content on our forum!
If it's Moscow, Qwerty can act not as a participant, but as a commentator. Reviews of rounds, reports on individual matches, and if there is Wi-Fi, live reports simultaneously on three forums.
By the way, replays would be extremely interesting. And if we also have save files, then this tournament will become a legend!
Qwerty, it's probably too early to say. Right now, our main goal is to gather as many advantages as possible. Because we need to talk - either with Izhevsk or with the LKI magazine. It is possible that one of the conditions will be an agreement on the exclusive right to publish information about the tournament. IMHO, if there are interesting counter-offers, we will discuss them.
Guys, please don't delay, especially with attracting strong players and forming a solid team for the championship; it could actually work out.
