Vitalya, you are wrong. In the current reality, it is unrealistic to hold some large and extensive tournament. We are still not playing Dota here. Firstly, the number of game days is limited, there is no way to allocate time for a full-fledged tournament, so we have to play 4 rounds. Secondly, even first place only compensates for travel expenses, especially for those who came from far away or from another country, so many players simply cannot come. Thirdly, the organizers do everything at their own expense and always end up at a loss, so there is no queue to organize this event. I think you understand this yourself.

You could, of course, nitpick the name "CIS Championship"; it's understandable, because tournaments of this kind are usually held either by an officially registered federation or by the game's creators. Of course, if we act strictly according to the "letter of the law", it would have been more correct to call this tournament something like the "Open Cup of Heroes 3" or the "Heroesworld Club Championship", but the essence of it wouldn't change, because today there is no larger live tournament held on the territory of the former CIS, and no larger community than HeroesWorld exists on the territory of the former CIS. Therefore, formally, this tournament can be considered such a championship — an unofficial CIS championship.

By the way, just a quick reminder, in case someone suddenly forgot, this tournament was held in three different countries — 2 times in Ukraine, 1 time in Belarus, 4 times in Russia.

And if there were a federation and it decided to hold some kind of tournament, then you, like many others, still wouldn't come. So why stir up the air and disparage the tournament? And if you still object, then offer your own alternatives; otherwise, it doesn't look nice.
