Player of the Year 2016

It seems like you'll also struggle in HotA – you won't be able to win. But it's definitely an authoritative opinion.

If you didn't understand, I mean that in HotA, the number of strong players relative to tournaments is much smaller than in SoD. Therefore, the difficulty of winning such a tournament decreases, and the overall level of the tournament is lower than any SoD tournament. Hence, the conclusion is that the winners of HotA achieved victory more easily than the winners of SoD, and it is unfair to equate these victories to the players who won in a more difficult competition.
As for your friend, he also plays well in SoD, but he didn't win anything in it in 2016. :cool:
