I repeat – the core of the magical target audience consists of hero-poker-playing alcohol tourists.
But there should be players! Remove the non-playing players from the King's Bounty and Warlords of the North – the picture will be depressing for the mage!
And this is without taking into account the fact that many who didn't make it to Warlords will come to King's Bounty, but the opposite is unlikely!

Objective voting data says the opposite.
What did you read?
For Warlords of the North.
There were 29 people at the CIS tournament, and 20 of them attended twice or more.
There were 4 people who hadn't been to the CIS tournament.
20 people mainly played in the tournament, and 13 of them attended twice or more.
13 people didn't mainly play in the tournament.

Now look at the rest.
50% of the votes for King's Bounty were from people who hadn't been to the CIS tournament, and among them, out of 39 people and one Vigops, only 12 were players, and 8 of them played 2 times or more.

After all, 7 championships is already a significant amount of statistical data.

Update. Message number 555. HOORAY!
