[2x2 Tournament] Double Up [SoD]

The arguments are simple. The bracket is drawn up in advance, and the participants are placed into it by lot. In a Jebus Cross tournament, all colors are also assigned immediately. What's wrong with that?

And what does "wrong" have to do with it, and who exactly said that? And what relevance does it have to color distribution at all? What prevented distributing the colors evenly? And in the second column of the bracket (where 1/8 is), all that was needed was to set the order as blue-red-red-blue... But you ignored my message about this.

A vote from a participant is not considered a vote from an outside party, because they are also an interested party.

A vote from a participant is a vote from the other side. To compensate and rein in the one and only. But you don't take that into account either. And on top of everything, you admit that you are an interested party with an absolute majority vote.

Go ahead, tell me about the statistics.

I'll tell the lazy ones about the statistics. 5-1 in group A and 5-2 in group B in favor of reds. Moreover, all of blue's wins were due to their extremely lucky draws. And you manipulate, and you even dared to call the final part statistics, where 4 games took place and one more had a forfeit (the data isn't even reflected in the report). Of the remaining ones — 3-1 in favor of blue. I note again that blue had a very lucky draw in one game (a scout hero behind the dwarves at respawn, 12 angels in conservatories, a village near the ГО immediately, and at the ГО itself — trolls against a horde of efreets for the opponent). And red's second loss was due to a major fail — losing (overwriting) the main hero in the tavern in a practically won game. Thus, even here, reds are still on top. If you're going to shuffle facts, do it skillfully, backing it up with specifics.

In the last tournament, in the final part, the color was decided by a coin toss. So, all the participants who got the right to choose the color all picked BLUE! Why do you think that is?

And this is a mega-argument... again in favor of the reds! Blues hoped to win on restarts, but didn't study the statistics (in this case, for the L-U template, which apparently doesn't even exist), and which would have ultimately led them to ruin, because red's first move turns out to be more significant in practice.

I don't think color matters. Personally, our team is ready to play as any color.

That's just a personal opinion. But as an organizer, you cannot ignore remarks about screw-ups in the draw, which should provide opportunities for all players. And if the color issue is specified in the rules and regulations, then it matters.

As for colors... if everyone goes to 121, red's advantage comes down to the fact that they can eat into some of blue's cookies.

But you didn't use that advantage; you used another, unmentioned one — to attack the opponent's similarly leveled hero. And that is much more serious — main heroes are cut off from treasure zones for at least a day. And here there turned out to be two of them.

And at the same time, they can set themselves up. Plus, red has more trouble with mana regen.

Someone always sets themselves up, regardless of color. And regarding mana, it's kind of situational.

Speaking specifically about our game, color decided absolutely nothing. With you, even though you were blue, Valya with excellent development was standing on the crossroads at 122. That was a huge risk, without Valya's development, Tazar would have had serious problems.

Now you've inadvertently noted red's first-move advantage yourself. And quite significantly. And the scout hero didn't run for cookies deep into the treasure zone (they didn't break the guard at the treasure zone fork for further scouting). No, the scout hero was sent towards our respawn solely to possibly find developed heroes near the ГО, because running a whole turn just for one shield isn't great. And then there was also Crag, who looked even more interesting than Valya.
