Pit for LM
Auto-translated
Players SP_SkyLine, cbw, cost and Sloth_D have been disqualified.
So the results were premature.
Let's wait until the match is over.
A year ago, we discussed the first such tournament. Here, starting from /topic/at/679572/,
you can read about it.
It would be better not to occupy a strong player just by having him play (so what if he wins or loses? One game isn't very telling), but rather give him the opportunity to comment on the game in real time.
The responses were:
I highly doubt that representatives of LM will agree to spend their time on something like this, except in rare cases...
...Playing is one thing; every Heroes player is used to it. But watching an uninteresting game played by someone else and unfamiliar, and paying close attention so as to point out mistakes and offer advice – that’s a completely different matter.
Here I need to say (in addition to what HellLighT wrote) that players who are good at Heroes are also quite successful in реальной жизни. Many have interesting jobs, their own companies, families… There are fathers, and even some with multiple children. They have things going on in their lives. Therefore, most of these people prefer participating over observing. Personally, I wouldn't take on organizing such a tournament primarily because I don't even know which of the experienced players would agree to do it. And I myself wouldn't want to "manage" via Skype; the time limit won't allow me to give detailed advice, and there isn't much point in saying just a few words. I think it would be more useful to analyze a match after the game and then work independently on correcting mistakes.
And I am very grateful to all the LM players for responding to my requests and setting aside their time for our tournament.
