One for all, and all for one!

It's time to wrap up the tournament, summarize the results, draw conclusions, and gather stones.

I want to start by saying that the idea for this tournament wasn't just mine. We started developing it with CryptoNight. Later, I had to continue alone because Andrey's interest shifted sharply towards the VT version.

There were undisciplined players who disrupted the tournament with their inaction. In particular, I express my displeasure to player PlayHeroes_HP. He ruined 4 tournaments in a row with his withdrawals. I don't recommend accepting this participant into future tournaments; he has been added to the
ХВ blacklist

- The regular participant in online tournaments, bRitvo4kA, disappointed me. During the second part of the group stage, he didn't respond and was unavailable, which led to his disqualification. Previously, in other tournaments, I also noticed him regularly falling behind. Disqualified

- Kassian greatly let us down. He deceived us twice in our agreements and didn't play a single game in the group. He was disqualified

- Player Marduk was also disqualified from the tournament due to insufficient activity and complete lack of communication.

- During the tournament, AK couldn't stay out of it:

Message from NumOne:
Based on all available data, it was established that in many tournament matches, instead of Vigo, another player - vitalic, the world champion for maphacking - played with Vigo's consent. There are also numerous suspicions of maphacking by Vigo/vitalic.
In this regard, AK decided to disqualify player Vigo from the "Everyone Against Everyone" tournament for unfair play and impose a penalty of 50 points for violating the rules and falsifying tournament results, and will not allow him to participate in future tournaments held on HeroesWorld.

- Several players withdrew from the tournament; I would especially highlight shpilenger and Dimast. There was no valid reason for their withdrawal. One simply lost interest in playing, and the other disappeared from communication.

Now, let's talk about something pleasant.

147 games were played.

There was a lot of competition during the group stage, and we had to calculate additional indicators. The playoffs were interesting, and there were some unexpected results, just like the group stage brought.

Special thanks to the new players who joined the tournament as replacements: MaxGor, Oskolok, 'no1_knows_me', VanjaM, HellLight, Tag, d-neez. You became an integral and important part of the tournament.:smile20:

I must also express my gratitude to two captains - BA/IEHOK and Gomunguls. Guys, despite our disagreements, it was a pleasure dealing with you because you constantly tried to resolve issues for the entire team and guide them. This was truly felt. I can't imagine what your teams would have achieved without your responsible behavior. As cliché as it sounds, you led your teams to the final, and that was well deserved in terms of your attitude towards the task.
Kilgor, Yegor Korobeynikov - just so you know - you are champions :) You showed a high level of play; without you, the captain would be sailing on a leaky boat!

darkello, shoock13 - you did everything you could; I'm sure success awaits you!

Also, I cannot fail to thank our judges: Pit for LM and Gomunguls. It was hard work, no doubt about it. Thank you!:smile02:

My team lost to the finalist - team InTeam. Congratulations to InTeam on reaching the final; it wasn't easy.

I wrote this post from memory; please don't get angry if I forgot to mention someone or something.

And now, the most exciting part:

"Trog lodites in the Mist":smile49:
- Gomunguls :smile49:
- Kilgor :smile49:
- Yegor Korobeynikov :smile49:

Guys, you are the best! Enjoy yourselves because it's not that easy to become better than everyone else, even within a tournament :smile44:
