World of Heroes Game

As a former Warcraft player, I believe that Heroes deserves a place of honor among other officially recognized esports disciplines. The problem with turn-based games is not actually a reason for the game to be excluded from the list of esports, in my opinion, because Dota and WoW are already recognized as esports, and the former is just a map from a great game, and the latter is an MMORPG. It seems strange... where do people see the entertainment value in these two disciplines? I personally don't understand. But both have good sponsors, companies that invest money in the development of WoW and Dota, such as Blizzard, Pepsi, etc. From the point of view of the game's specifics, Heroes could very well be on the esports list, but only in the form of Single-Player Online Duels (SOD), because the "Would Tournament" (WT) format kills the very root and meaning of the game, in my opinion. I believe that in order for SOD to become an esports game, the following phased tasks are necessary: 1) Development of resources and portals, creation of new ones. Fortunately, a Polish portal has appeared recently. It's good that SAG is working on heroesiii.com, Sticky is working on the World Championship, etc. 2) Instilling a desire to play, in addition to popularity. In principle, almost everyone in the world knows what SOD is (unlike WT, which is only known in Russia and its surroundings), but few know what it's like to play it online, in tournaments and leagues. Therefore, there are so few Heroes players. We need to somehow get this into the minds of players, that the game is alive and very interesting. To do this, we need to somehow advertise everything. For example, you go to Mail.ru, and there are ads for Perfect World, Allods Online, etc. But if you put an ad for an upcoming major SOD tournament (with prizes, haha), I'm sure many people will think about it (I used to play this great game! I liked it, and now there's a tournament! I want to remember what it was like, I'll sign up) and try it out, and if they try it, they'll get hooked :) 3) Development of the HD mod. I think this is very important in terms of addressing many players' concerns about convenience. It would also be good to develop an anti-cheat in it and make the mod more official and beautiful than just a "mod." In general, ideally, if 3DO were still around, it could create such an expansion itself, making it official. But since it's not, it's up to the fans... 4) In the future, it may be possible to find sponsors who will invest money in tournaments and leagues, which will significantly boost the game. The game will become even more competitive, and I believe this is the main obstacle. In principle, I haven't said anything new, we've already discussed many things in different words, but I just expressed my opinion in this way. WT is going down the path of trying to popularize itself, but many newcomers who come to it are disappointed (I've noticed this), and continue to play SOD or even WOG. Therefore, let WT remain for WT players, with their ideas and ambitions, and SOD for SOD players, with all its own things. We just need people who are willing to develop the game, and everything can work out... but since there is currently a division, and many such people have gone to WT, which is another obstacle to the development of the game, in my opinion...
