Post-tournament analysis and discussion of the CIS Tournament Regulations.

Why should the CIS champion be someone who won a live tournament?

In any game, world or regional championships are held only live. I don't think I need to explain the reasons. Or do I?

In my opinion, even "Only HL" is much harder to win.

And what online game isn't like that? Naturally, online tournaments attract more and stronger players. So what now?

Initially, back in 2009, to qualify for the CIS championship, you had to go through a selection process (and it was live) in your region, and only then participate in the final stage. But then, due to the small number of people wanting to participate in the tournament, as well as the unwillingness to organize other qualifying stages, this tradition faded away... and it's understandable, because everything has to be done at your own expense... only to end up in the red.
