So, IT HAS BEGUN!
The group stage will be played on the 2SM4d(3) map.
With mutual agreement, you can play a match on any other map.
In the second post of the thread, there is a table with the groups. All games will be played within a set timeframe (about 6 weeks, one game per week), and the results will be summarized on January 27th.
For those who like to procrastinate, I want to warn you that I am a proponent of adhering to deadlines, and leniency will be minimal (if any). We expect interesting games from you, with detailed reports. Please don't be lazy and do everything with diligence (many of the newcomers have already shown that they are capable of excellent reports). It would be a big plus to include screenshots of the main heroes, battles, etc.
It is mandatory to have an autosave feature (or HD mode with a built-in one). It is desirable to attach archives of saves to the reports (especially for those who are counting on reaching the finals, as they will have to be sent privately anyway).
I hope that all participants will take this tournament seriously, as it may open the door to more serious and significant tournaments for many.
Even if it becomes clear that a player will not advance from the group, they must play all the matches, as this will affect the results of other players (a technical victory is valued less than a full-fledged one). There have also been cases of players leaving and being disqualified from qualifying positions; there is almost always a chance.
Respect your opponents, value your own time and theirs, and address all controversial situations directly to the tournament organizers and judges in ICQ. GOOD LUCK!
p.s. The list of participants could not be combined into a "smart" table yet, due to someone's incompetence :D
