The candidate must meet the following conditions:
1) registration on HW: from July 1, 2011 to December 30, 2012.
registration of twaryna in 2008 :)
Very good player! I agree! But it seems that he doesn't fit the criteria for candidates :(
P.S.
then I suggest nominating Comunguls as "Rookie of the Year"
Our song is good, start again... :smile44: Okay. Let me tell you an interesting story about the player twaryna. My registration on HW: September 30, 2008. And my registration on HP or HL was even earlier, can you imagine? And a bunch of victories in tournaments on different sites and online tournaments. But only regarding HOMM5. Do you feel the difference? At the end of 2011, thanks to the streams of Psih, Amil, Sticky, Romario and Crazy, I became interested in Heroes 3 and decided to take a break from Heroes 5 and start playing Heroes 3 from scratch. My first online game in Heroes 3 took place on January 4, 2012 against Jurist. After that, I immediately played in the tournament "Rookie 2012. Winter": /topic/8699/. Where, by the way, we were in the same group with Kilgor (who was later removed from the tournament due to his high skill) and Hellight (whom I lost to). In this tournament, I did not make it out of the group. A well-deserved result, since I play very poorly, especially compared to other "rookies". Let's move on.
My second tournament is "Speed and Onslaught" (February - April 2012): /topic/8881/. 1 win, 3 losses, a couple of technical defeats. Not a great performance and 16th place out of 32 in total. The result is clearly not outstanding.
The third tournament is "FB-6" (started in March 2012): /topic/8992/. Here there is already a minimal level of play. I came first from not the easiest group, thanks to my victory over Protos Arhon. There, the seasonal rating also played a role, since I, PA and Leader had the same results, but anyway, this is already a good result for me. Next, in the playoffs, I beat Goda. And then I lose to Peterius (I didn't have enough experience playing against him, I could have won) and in the losers bracket, I lost to Amil in a close fight. In the end, the result of the tournament was excellent for me. After that, people started saying that twaryna is no longer a rookie, he made it out of the FB group, etc., etc. And nobody remembers that 3 months ago, twaryna was a complete newbie. Okay.
Then there was the M200 tournament from sk2tv, where I almost immediately lost. And then the "Rookie 2012. Summer" tournament, which I won in a hard-fought battle with Hellight. Autumn 2012 - a decent performance in Favorites and generally a good autumn season, this should be visible when the rating is updated. This is briefly my story in Heroes 3 so far.
Kilgor fits all four points like no other. Regarding his level of play, I think now among the rookies of 2012, no one can compare with him except twaryna, whose streams I really enjoy. And for rookies, the best indicator is the accumulated level of play, which Kilgor has improved from scratch. Because we shouldn't forget that twaryna came from Heroes 5. And that's like Schumacher switching from Formula 1 to a sports car. Adapting experience is not growth yet.
An indicative quote IMHO. And again, no one will remember that in the same tournament, Kilgor was removed precisely because of his high skill. That is, he initially shows a level higher than others in that tournament and played Heroes 3 before. But I started completely from scratch. And how much I raised my level of play during this year, is it adaptation or still growth? Or maybe I just play a lot and gain experience little by little? The question is rhetorical.
twaryna - no comment, everything is clear anyway)
hellight - also clear
darkello - unlike those listed above, he received the medal of "best player of the season" =)
Something tells me that someone else will receive the medal "player for the swamp. autumn 2012", and in general, a good autumn rating, if they ever publish it :p
If we talk about skill, Kilgor is beyond discussion...
Added after 8 minutes
I am sure that if any of the above players plays against Kilgor in a best-of-three match, then the odds of 80-20% will change to 95-5% for any of the above players.
I love such categorical statements. And in general, papism and theoretical foresight always bring great pleasure :D
So, who is this twaryna? A pro or a newbie, a lucky guy and BM player, a good streamer or just boring. It's up to you, gentlemen heroes :)
