Some questions that were asked to me in private messages have been combined, and I will post the answers to them. I am writing this here because newcomers to the Heroes world, who want to play in a live tournament but have no experience, may have similar questions, as I myself was once such a newcomer. First, I read reports by Lord Maniac on the Master of Lightning website and really wanted to go to the St. Petersburg championships, then reports by Chaos League appeared on ProGamer, I even went there, stood around, watched, the tournament was in full swing, but I didn't quite dare to interfere with the players and judges. And only in Krasnodar did I dare to go to Alan Prost. And then, when I was accepted into the group, when I got to know everyone, I said to myself, why did I waste so much time? Then I went to Moscow and St. Petersburg for the Heroes championships, and I hosted many people from St. Petersburg and Moscow at my own tournaments, and not just them. Don't repeat my mistakes.)
1. Are only veterans of Heroes tournaments invited to the championship?
No, our Michurinsk playground will be equally happy to see both experienced players and newcomers. It has been experimentally proven that in the Heroes community, after the first toast raised in honor of Heroes, the differences between who is "the boss" disappear.
2. Are only streamers invited to the championship?
Again, no, if someone wants to stream, that's great, but you can just play. Although, no, in the game for 1st place, both players will still have to stream.
3. Is it scary to go to another city on Airborne Troops Day?
I think you are unlikely to see any paratroopers in Michurinsk, there are definitely none in the hotel. In all the Michurinsk Heroes tournaments, there has only been one paratrooper in our Heroes community, and he was not a heavy drinker, very reasonable, and a good guy. Again, there is security in the building where we will be playing, even at night, and hypothetically, there is nothing to be afraid of in Michurinsk, it is a quiet city, a scientific center.
4. I can't be at the tournament for so many days, I work.
You can come for not the whole tournament, but for a day or two. For example, play the first two rounds, or break away on Friday and Saturday. In the end, ask for three days off.
5. What is the prize pool?
A good prize pool, comparable to the CIS championship prize pool. The amount is unknown, as the number of participants is not yet known. I don't believe that attention should be focused on the prizes; I have always believed that money for life should be earned outside of Heroes, and Heroes is just a hobby.
6. Will the tournament be well organized? How can I find you in Michurinsk?
To avoid any questions, I will be the only organizer, and I will be responsible for all problems that arise during the tournament. I posted my mobile number in the first post of the topic - 8-920-485-67-19 (Eric). Ask Tema Stinger, he has been to Michurinsk tournaments many times, he will tell you how I greet guests, how the tournaments go, and everything else. Ask Misha Mizrael, Tema Cobra, Lesha Dust, Sasha Horn, they will tell you, they are great guys, don't hesitate to write to them and ask.
7. If I come, will I be met, I don't know the city?
Yes, there have been cases when more than ten players came to the championship, and I met everyone without any problems, even at night, and more than forty people came to the CIS championship in Michurinsk, and I met everyone too.
8. Do I have to participate in drinking parties and rock concerts, I like peace and quiet?
Not at all, absolutely no one will say a word to you if you don't like gatherings, you can just be in the Heroes community during the round, or you can just sit in the evening with the company, listen to Heroes stories and impressions from the round.
9. I'm afraid they will laugh at me if I come, authoritative people said that no one will come to you.
Don't be afraid of anyone, don't look at anyone, do what you have decided, we are people, not lemmings. These authoritative people complain that there are no tournaments, but they happily pour out a stream of negativity when someone tries to organize them.
If you have any questions about the tournament, write to me in a private message, and I will answer everything.
