“And once again, into battle!”

Personally, I like option 2, where each team plays against each other, but the teams shouldn't be formed randomly; instead, they should be based on the actual skill, rating, or other merits of each player. I think the game factions proposed by Kirill for each team are quite balanced, although it's often considered that Necropolis and Dungeon are the most overpowered factions. Perhaps we should consider spreading them out into different teams? There's another point we need to consider: if we decide to go with this option, how will the faction for each specific game be determined? If it's a random draw, I'm afraid Necropolis and Dungeon won't even participate in the tournament. If we leave this decision to the players, only they will be chosen. Maybe someone has some thoughts on this? And in general, what are everyone's thoughts on the options proposed by Kirill?
