Good luck!
Sevan_80 and Fidesxfx - I want to chat with you personally.
:smile34: LSM and The_Bloody_fighter - sorry, no.
The lists are in the 3rd post of the topic.
Regarding the situation with Faer, I think Pete will explain in detail, but IMO everything is clear there anyway.
There's a great game called HOMM3. And there are games around this Game that are organized to make it more interesting (sites/forums, rules, add-ons like WT, competitions/tournaments...).
The organized World Championship is one of those games around the Game. Just as children play doctors, so today we are playing a championship. The rules of this game are set by the Head, Sticky:
Number of participants - 32.
Number of resources from which representatives will be - 9. Each resource nominates 3 players for the tournament.
I need to nominate 3 players from the resource at the end of February.
If there were 30, I would take everyone, and maybe there wouldn't be a selection.
When Sticky was planning this tournament in the summer, we were thinking about how to select a team from the resource and whether to allow participation in multiple selections.
There was a discussion with the players of our team, the number of those who wanted to participate significantly exceeds the number of quotas. Moreover, who knows who will perform better? Also, other players of ours asked to give them a chance to get into the team. Between the extreme ways of forming a team (the entire team by voting and the entire team by one tournament), this compromise option appeared - voting + this tournament.
That is, the goal of the tournament is to select 3 our players.
Other resources also nominate their teams. There are many excellent players. A strong lineup for the tournament is great, but I'm not going to create competition for the guys on our team and from our resource in this case.
This also applies to duplicate applications. For example, I'm interested, if Mr. LSM and Sir Corsar, as well as The_Bloody_fighter and Sir PlayHeroes are selected for the teams of two or more resources, will they play in the World Championship in two copies? Or will they leave one team? And will they provide me or Redwait at the last moment with the interesting task of finding a replacement in the team? And why bother setting up and running a tournament if the decision will have to be made on the fly?
I've already talked. Initially, it was clear that Petya would be putting sticks in the wheels of FTS. Ivan is too kind to feel it.
Definitely, unequivocally, with a firm hand, I will stick aspen stakes in the wheels of all > 40 players (not just the kind Ivan) who played/were nominated in the past MP from other teams. Moreover, it is interesting that I have excellent friendly relations with many guys from the teams. Nothing personal. I know that Faer is a good player and is quite worthy to perform at the World Championship, just like many others. The criterion is quite definite and normal. Why would I include players in the tournament who will reduce the likelihood of "ours" getting in, those who play on HW and for HW?
Applications from other players, who traditionally consider themselves citizens of other resources, will be considered separately. Everyone who is known to be selected in any selections in other places will also be rejected.
I don't understand why I can't participate in the selection???????
There is no topic at all on the bay yet.
FireToSky, talk about a Wildcard).
Maybe instead of emoticons, clearly write who will be taken and who will not? :)
