REWORK for the Academy. Is it needed or not?

Initially, there were some concerns. But it turned out they were unfounded; the game's principles remain the same.

I didn't say that mirror matches are bad, and after reviewing some games, I'm inclined to think they are the most "competitive." But that doesn't negate the fact that playing with different setups is also interesting. And why were HL+U templates created in the first place? As I understand it, you either wrote or edited some of them. Weren't these templates created to improve balance? Why don't we play Funky without any templates, simply specifying the desired map size? And if we take chess as an example, there's also a more "competitive" classic version with games lasting 2+ hours, rapid chess lasting half an hour to an hour, and blitz, and all of this is considered a sport and is popular to varying degrees, although it's obvious that the classic version has more depth and fewer random elements.
Well, we could philosophize about this for a long time) Wishing everyone well, I'm going to sleep:smile04:
PS And yet, I would really like the HD mode to have the option to enable rebuilding, at least in games with those who also want it. And so that people can actually try it out in the context of Soda without any preconceived notions about WT, and perhaps some opinions will change. In any case, this won't affect most of those who disagree if it's not included in the tournament regulations as a mandatory option.
