[Received a positive response from the organizer in Izhevsk.
The question is, what do we want from him? What should I discuss with him?

2 Dust.
Alex, in my opinion, we should first find out who is willing to go to Izhevsk.
As far as I remember, it's about 1100-1200 km from Moscow. It's 400 km from me to Moscow, and then another 1200 km – it's too expensive just to come and watch.
I could make it to Moscow to watch, but that's too far.
Watching replays and reading reports on the forum will be enough.
But for the players, for those who are really in the top, it's worth going. To meet, chat, and have a great tournament. As far as I remember, in the last 10 years, there hasn't been a single offline tournament! And that's for such a cult game. I think I heard that in 1998-99, championships were held in St. Petersburg for HoMM2 – but no more.
But who will go, let's be objective. You. Mike – not sure, judging by the posts. PReDS – if he went to Novosibirsk... we can count him.
Querty – willing to play in Moscow, but is he willing to go to Izhevsk?
I don't know about the players from St. Petersburg, whether they are willing to go. I know Horn well, as do you. Let's assume that if we both call him, it might be possible. Although, after the birth of his child, Sasha has practically left the online scene.
I don't know anything about the other players from Moscow, whether they would even play in Moscow.
So, you and PReDS, let's assume for sure. Mike and Querty – maybe. We need at least 6 people, so we need to talk to more people.
But the fact that someone supports our idea is very good.
Therefore, we need to determine as soon as possible the group of people who would like to play offline in a 2v2. I already mentioned Querty – all that remains is to find them and ask. And then, having gathered a quorum, we can decide on the issue. IMHO.Eric, ideally, we need a 2v2 with two tables. One room for the bedroom, the other for the game. Two tables and 8 chairs are fine for 8 people. But I'm ready, if it's during the holidays, to do it in Michurinsk.
I'm trying to get in touch with more HoMM players.
2 Querty.
So, is it impossible to organize a tournament in Moscow? Then the search area narrows. Regarding Michurinsk – I won't refuse. But on the 26th-28th, I'm holding a tournament in Michurinsk, which has already started with our qualifying games.
I can't hold tournaments often – I need to clean the apartment, wash the sheets for the whole group, and do some odd jobs to earn money – we have students playing who are not well-off, and the club charges quite a lot – so I pay for them at the tournament.
In general, I can afford no more than one tournament every six months, because not everything in my life revolves around Heroes, I have a personal life and a job.
I'm ready to hold a tournament at the beginning of spring.
But there might be a problem – where to hold the CIS final for the 3v3? I can't handle two tournaments – one for the 3v3 and one for the 2v2 – on my own.
If it works out with Izhevsk and we get enough people for the 2v2, that would be great.
P.S. It would be interesting to cooperate with Izhevsk. Maybe there are really good organizers and a certain base there?
If the organizers want, the CIS final for HoMM3 could be held there.
I understand that the proposal is utopian. But I'm not trying to pass the buck – I promised to hold the final. But what if?
