"Gather tons of meat" is relevant for any version. The only difference is that SoD most often assumes 3-4 types of striking stacks (vivs, angels, skeletons +/- demons), which is insanely boring. But HotA has 7+, and accordingly, has a huge advantage in the variety of strategies.

And about the fees. Maybe the orgs should also be interested at least by having their work somehow compensated in monetary equivalent? You can't get far on raw enthusiasm alone... ))

New versions appear in Heroes 3, gain popularity, and then either wither away or lose their former glory. History knows examples. But the classic maintains its position in the world (of course, there are periodic imbalances in separate regions). As a rule, new versions live as long as the developers support the game and there is a link with the Community. Plus, while the version of the game is still being developed and changed, you constantly have to keep track of innovations and adapt your play every time. Some find this interesting, while others have neither the time nor the desire.

Classic—it was, is, and will be the only globally recognized official version of the game by the developers (at least that's how it seems at the moment). Therefore, organizing some huge international tournament (even inter-portal) is much more likely on classic. Besides everything else, we know different versions of rules in the world (as well as games without rules) for our favorite game—which also divides opinions on this matter.

Well, if it's a league, there are home games and away games, meaning you play against SOD/HotA. When playing away, the opponent chooses the version; that would be fair. Both HotA players and SOD players would learn both versions. You could also make paid and free leagues as an option; whichever is less popular would eventually die out. To avoid rescheduling games and other issues, have a specific schedule, for example, a week (or two) to play against a specific opponent. Odd by default is Saturday-Sunday at 2:00 PM; if you don't show up, you lose points and wait for the next game week (allow players to play rounds earlier by mutual agreement). If a player misses more than 3 games, they are disqualified and moved to the lowest league, for example, with -30 points. Yes, you can come up with all sorts of things))).

SOD was played by everyone, but many didn't even install HOTU, and as a result, playing away is like playing soccer on sand. There are those who trained to play that way, and there are those who only saw how it is to run on sand, and most likely the game will be lost.

I agree that it can be a bit boring sometimes... but in SoD, you often search for these hives/cons, while in HotA, you don't even need to look for them!

Sorry, but you're wrong here. It's often easier to assemble a working stack in SoD, even despite the significant difference in the power of the starting army.

Anarchy isn't playable in HotA, so I'm for SoD :D

If there's a desire to establish some kind of tournament hierarchy, it would be better to hold an annual AllStars tournament, where the winners of tournaments from the past year are invited.

Such a tournament has been held for a long time, but it's called FB.

In the current situation, a long group stage is a game of "who will drop out later."

Yes, I agree. I really like the idea of the league, but I don't think it's feasible in practice. I really hope I'm wrong.
