Hello everyone, I haven't posted in any threads about this event for a while, but the amount of negativity directed at the participants, judges, and Lizard and Reddit is just excessive.
Regarding the issue:
1. I watched the game between Reddit and Lizard from start to finish because Reddit was sitting to my left, and after my turn, Reddit's turn usually began, so I know the game very well.
Furthermore, until the battle ended, in which Lizard didn't even lose, the battle wasn't over because he could have bought his way out, continued fighting, and left Reddit's troops in a terrible state, after which they would run around and cast spells at each other, dealing 5-10 damage to each other. In that case, the game would have continued for a very long time.
2. As I mentioned earlier, I was sitting nearby. After Kostya stood up and left, shaking Reddit's hand, I thought that was it. But the next day, after breakfast, while in the streamers' room with Reddit, I learned that Lizard was declared the winner.
3. I think everyone who was there would agree that Kostya deserved the victory. Therefore, what happened was nothing more than a coincidence because Reddit was one of the contenders for the gold, but he lost all motivation after a disappointing defeat in the first round. And this, not something else (in my opinion), is what led to the current situation, which we are now discussing.
4. The system should be FDE (First Defeated Elimination) with a large number of free slots in the first round so that each player has a chance to win the tournament, even after losing in the first round. In that case, Reddit would definitely play to win.
5. And furthermore, Lizard shouldn't have played against Reddit (a loser) in the second round (just because that's how it was drawn). With all due respect to all the participants, Reddit was the strongest player among the losers after the first round.
6. I spoke with many participants about the tournament system, and I agree that there was a lack of time and other issues. Therefore, I think Kirill's desire to develop a set of rules and create a stricter schedule is correct, and I fully support it.
7. And perhaps the last thing: DO NOT JUDGE, AND YOU WILL NOT BE JUDGED!!! And if anyone has the right to judge the players, it is only the PARTICIPANTS OF THE TOURNAMENT (who may have been indirectly affected by this), but not the masses of people who were not there, did not pay the entry fee, did not participate in the games, but consider their opinion important enough to post it on 20 pages in 2 threads (nonsense).
P.S. As a person who was there, participated, and saw everything with my own eyes (specifically the games, the tension, and the atmosphere), I believe the matter is closed. Lizard is the CHAMPION, and most importantly, I repeat, he deserved this title this year!
