The project is still in development.

In general, I think that one of the best options would be not to scatter, not to go to an unfamiliar Izhevsk, etc., but to combine the CIS G3 final and a retro tournament for G2, with a team of about 8 people. There won't be many people there, but there will be a lot of advantages: 2 tournaments in one, a joint and friendly time, the scale of the event, etc.

Why not? Right now, I have a qualifier this week. Soon there will be a championship in St. Petersburg. Then we can decide.
Three tournaments have already been held.

Kingisepp and Kyiv remain – they should be held. I think that if we hold them, then Peterius will also hold one in his city. In Yekaterinburg, probably the same guys who came the first time will come to the final.

That is, after the St. Petersburg tournament, we can have a serious conversation about the final. If it's at my place, I can organize one for Heroes of Might and Magic 2 as well.

For a full-fledged G2 tournament, I can promise not to touch the cards. Although poker has never prevented me from finishing my games, the priority is always heroes only. :-)

Alexey, I'm afraid of poker. Not of the game itself, but of the consequences. For example, a player will come to the championship. The first question: "Where is the vodka?".
And then: "And... um... where is the poker?". That's it, the player is lost for the championship. Usually, an entire group drops out of the championship.

If I agree to host the championship, I arrange the venue, the people for such an event, and then it will be difficult for me to explain to the people who helped me why everything went completely differently.

But let's be honest. St. Petersburg and Kingisepp mean that all the poker players will come. And with strong charisma. If they managed to dissuade our Michurinsk Alexey from playing the CIS final to the end, then there is nothing to say about the others. People come to relax and have fun. In principle, this is correct. But damn, I don't know how this is compatible with my proposal to hold full-fledged tournaments. :)

Now, you usually hear from a player: "I won't come if there's no poker!".
Maybe I should switch to hosting live poker tournaments?

Poker is also not a problem, it's annoying.

In light of the above, I agree, this poker is annoying, and it does a lot of harm to the heroes. :D

I'll go anywhere, even to Novosibirsk.

In my opinion, we need to gather about 6-8 people who are willing to come to the tournament. And who are willing to write reports and make saves. Even if we don't manage to create a journal, we'll make a gift for our forum. I'm sure there will be people who will read it.
