I'll try to finish the same-bracket/draw colors as quickly as possible, and then we'll determine the deadlines.
Participant Requirements:
...
- all tournament games must be played on game version SoD 3.2(4.0) strictly according to the tournament rules without any agreements, restrictions, or leniencies.
...
- for each played match, a report/confirmation with saves must be submitted....
How to make them, see here /topic/at/281871/
How to attach them, see here /topic/at/285407/
I will not count any game result without saves.
Let me explain why I want this so much.
First, the tournament lineup is strong, and Новичок is running in parallel. It would be good for them to watch and learn something. The same applies to broadcasts - if you can, broadcast and post about it on the forum...:smile11:
Second, judges also find it interesting to see what's happening in the tournament...:smile42:
Third, and most importantly. I know for sure that not all players, even at the highest level, know how to make daily saves:smile10:
We are packing our bags for the World Championship. There will be completely unfamiliar conditions, language, mentality... Different forums play with different established traditions. For example, on WCL, in case of a minor or major rule violation, an opponent can simply leave the game and demand to load a save, and they won't repeat the moves. Look, this is not in the Rules (maybe it will be?). Only their numerous gods know what a Chinese or Korean player might do. If you don't have a save, it will be impossible to prove that you are right. Moreover, judges usually require saves for the entire match, not just one day. I also recommend taking screenshots of same-//FB, opponent crashes, and your in-game negotiations (for some reason, foreigners love chatting specifically within Heroes, sometimes for half an hour to an hour), and be sure to save ICQ logs. It happens that you play from someone else's computer, the logs stay on it, and then they are difficult to retrieve.
The tournament bracket is in the 4th post of the thread.
Deadline for the first round - January 9 - 15. Try to play through faster, as the deadlines in the losers' bracket turned out to be very tight.
