Just yesterday, I received an offer from Vik to play against the aforementioned player, Vitaly, to prove who has more "manliness" in Heroes 3. I don't quite understand why this "so-called challenge" is addressed to someone who stopped playing this wonderful game about 3 months ago... In my opinion, there are about 10 people playing at my level in SoD and another 20 in WoG, so all this high-flown talk about some kind of rivalry for the crown and the like seems simply ridiculous to me... I stopped playing precisely because I no longer consider myself the strongest and cannot win as consistently as before, winning 90% of games; I guess I've lost my edge... By the way, I'll remind you that in my last SoD tournament, even with corrupted saves, I didn't lose a single game, just as I didn't in both offline tournaments. But, apparently, the motivation is already lost, and I no longer have the strength or desire to maintain my level... P.s. Some time ago, while playing with Vitaly's friend, having a terrible starting position, in the middle of the game, I offered my opponent a draw. At one point, I realized that the odds had shifted from 10% to 90% in my favor to 40% to 60%. Of course, this was my subjective opinion, but it was sincerely felt that way... Since I understood that we would have to play for another 2-3 weeks, and we had already played for 5, I wanted to quit this game; I was tired of it! In response, I received a very harsh reply that I had no chance and that no draw would be offered. Well, I tried to convince the person with 1-2 more comments, but I wasn't heard. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a player named Gomunguls wrote to me something like: "stop talking, you bitch, you'll get wrecked without asking, don't waste your opponent's time, act like a man, you have no chance, and so on..." As everyone remembers, this game with corrupted saves was won by me, and only because the opponent simply didn't have as much experience playing such large maps! I didn't show anything special myself; I just played to my full potential. I don't understand why a person who wins Heroes tournaments, supposedly understands the game, first, cannot adequately and objectively assess the balance of power, seeing streams from both sides (they were provided), and second, cannot express his subjective opinion correctly and adequately, without insulting a stranger who has not made a single disrespectful comment about him... Therefore, I do not want to have any interactions with this person, because he does not respect himself first of all, and there is no need to talk about others! P.p.s. Money is currently as little of an incentive for me as proving anything in Heroes. I consistently make my 6-7K dollars a month in poker, but I also enjoy the game! Since communicating or any other interaction with the player Gomunguls will not bring me any pleasure, no amount of money will entice me to this event! Thank you for your attention!
