So what prevents you from making noise yourselves?
If the WoT community is capable of self-organization in real life, and the SoD community only exists online, then it is logical that club championships are held for WoT.
You need to understand that no one is against club tournaments for SoD. I, for example, am strongly in favor – I came to your tournament and even defeated Matrosov.
That is, the question here is the availability of organizers and the quorum of participants. So, among the WoT players, Aztec, an organizer, and 40 people willing to come were found – there will be a championship.
Or are you embarrassed that the "CIS Championship" brand went to the wrong hands? Well, it is logical that the most representative tournament in terms of quantity and composition should bear that name.
Yur, I'm a SoD player, Mizrael, Skorp, Leha, Vitalik, so do we only exist online? ;)
I didn't believe in TE/WoT tournaments and I still don't. Sorry.
Regarding the brand, well, never mind... :D you know me, I'm not interested in that.

I don't know who will travel from afar in summer or autumn? Unfortunately, there is no alternative to the May holidays. And 2 trips a year is too much.
I completely agree. Personally, I am convinced that with the advent of the HD mod, the game version is no longer important. If before, one could argue that WoT/TE has a convenient interface, now this advantage is gone, and SoD is competitive.
Ultimatums are issued by SoD fans who say: "Oh, WoT... there's no point in going." I am ready to play any version of the game, and I go to the CIS Championship not so much for playing Heroes, but for communication, meeting old friends and meeting new ones, as well as for getting to know another city (country) and other entertainment, which in the modern world is the primary factor of a good tournament.
Now, no one will travel to watch a beautiful game, now there are streams and broadcasts, people have already watched enough beautiful games of pro players.
In Moscow, there was just a tournament, without any additional atmosphere (as far as I understand from this topic). People will not travel from afar for this, so the tournament turned out to be a "Moscow local event", and the game version has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Dirty, everyone goes for communication, the game is secondary, the main thing is the Heroes brotherhood.
Regarding the atmosphere... well, has it ever been the case that the organizers didn't live in Moscow and St. Petersburg? In 2004, it seems that people improved their skills, got motivated – Kiev, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, they gathered to win prizes... this was a real showdown, and what do you think, only one person from Minsk and one from Yekaterinburg made it to the top eight, and in the top four there were only Moscow and St. Petersburg, and even they complained about how unlucky they were.
All CIS champions are Bayazet, Preds, Stinger... before that, in Krasnodar, there were Antal, Chaos and Andre... only Moscow and St. Petersburg, six champions – 4 from Moscow and 2 from St. Petersburg. No matter how much they write that this is not the case, that the capitals no longer rule, it is still true that they overwhelmingly rule.

For now, I see the opposite. SoD players criticize WoT for the inappropriate behavior in the WoT chat, and SoD players say that SoD is garbage, reveling in the offense for the words they themselves said.
And at the same time, TrueWoT players are organizing a tournament in which there will be both SoD and WoT – this is an ultimatum.
And yes, it will be noisy.
P.S. Regarding Michurinsk, as far as I remember, the main reason for refusing to play was the mandatory entry fees, because the game version could be agreed upon for SoD.
Themich, let's sit down in the Armenian pavilion at VDNKh and discuss everything. My opinion is that it was the SoD players who did a lot for the Heroes movement, starting with Maniak, Chaos and Alan, and ending with Sam, Captain and me. These are face-to-face club tournaments. What did the TE players do at that time, you know better. :smile04: There is a wonderful guy, Merlin, a great person, there is Vik, a good judge, and that's it, IMHO. No offense, I will be happy if you have a decent tournament in Odessa. I don't believe in playing SoD and WoT simultaneously in one tournament, it will be like "…what, are you going to play SoD… lol… look here, we'll teach you how to play the most correct version in the world..."
In fact, there were many people from St. Petersburg in our city, at first they started criticizing SoD, sometimes fairly... then they started praising TE... also partly fairly... as a result of their work, TE was hated by all the Heroes community in Michurinsk.
