Let's organize a tournament.

I suggest discussing a new tournament format: a duel with a semi-ban.

1. Before the start of the series, players/judges randomly exclude 4 factions and 4 templates from the pool.
2. Players ban templates; the red player chooses a faction from the remaining ones, the blue player chooses a faction from the remaining ones, and they play the resulting pair. The used factions and template are excluded from the pool. Thus, each player has 3 factions and 3 templates left for the next 3 games.
3. The series is played until 3 wins. A score of 2-2 is a draw, a score of 3-1 and 3-0 is a win, and when calculating the score, the value of a 3-0 win is equal to the value of a 3-1 win.
