The second stage of the "Van Kanighem" tournament.

That's exactly what I'm saying. It's not the best who wins, but the most persistent :)

Well, you are still comparing among the best. If a player doesn't know how to play or plays very poorly, no number of attempts will help them catch up in results—not just with the persistent one, but even with the best :) Therefore, your slogan in its correct form should sound like this: In Heroes, it's not the best who wins, but the most persistent among the best ;) Otherwise, it's simply a discredit to any Competitive events. You could say the same about chess players—that the most persistent one wins, rather than the best one who trained day and night, while another had no time and only spent two hours on training :D Ultimately, in both cases, it all comes down to free time, either for playing or for training before the game ;)
