I've been thinking for a long time about organizing some major HotA tournament of the year, but I just couldn't decide on the format. Now I have decided...

So – the tournament will be for 8 players. Invitations go to the winners of the 2017 tournaments:

FireToSky - winner of Diamond Masters
HellLight - winner of Beast's King
=Lizard= - winner of Blitz Jebus - 2
Diabler - winner of Urfin Juice and His Wooden Soldiers
De_Luxe - winner of Haunted Mansion

The remaining 3 slots will be determined by voting among participants in the HotA tournaments of 2017. Suggest candidates – who would you like to see?

If any of the already invited participants cannot or refuses to participate, their slot will go to the next player in the viewer vote.

Tournament regulations:

1) Format - Double Elimination with 8 participants.

In the winner's bracket, matches are bo5.

In the loser's bracket, matches are bo3.

The super final is played as bo5 with a score of 1:0 in favor of the winner.

2) Templates:
- Jebus
- Diamond
- Mini-Nostalgia
- 6lm10a(min)
- Spider
- h3dm1
- mt-Diamond

In the winner's bracket, each player eliminates 1 template; games are played on the remaining 5 templates.

In the loser's bracket, each player eliminates 2 templates; games are played on the remaining 3 templates.

In the super final, the winner eliminates 2 templates, and the loser eliminates 1 template.

3) The rules are the same as those used for tournaments this year (I will detail them later).

The tournament starts on January 1, 2018.

If someone agrees to host a joint stream with commentary on individual games, I would be very grateful.

P.S. Medals for past tournaments are currently being made...

Perhaps it would be fairer and more logical if the tournament also included the winners of tournaments from 2016: Cobra, Yar, and whoever else I can't remember right now.

I agree, especially since Vic, you yourself said you've been thinking about it for a while.

There are many worthy candidates for the remaining 3 spots.
If the participant pool isn't going to be expanded, whoever is chosen will inevitably leave some people dissatisfied and feeling "unfairly excluded."
Perhaps it would be best to hold a qualifying battle between the champions of 2016 and the players who have been performing well this year.

I considered many formats before settling on this one. I also thought about the Facebook format of "general qualifier + final tournament," a tournament with several leagues (like 3 in 1), a format of "invited players + mini-qualifier," and inviting winners from previous years. The proposed format is good because it is simple, clear, and can remain unchanged from year to year. Therefore, it is better to create the final format right away rather than going through intermediate formats. Yes, I understand that there are more players worthy of participating in such a tournament than just 8. But what can you do...?

I've attached a poll.

The votes of players who have participated in at least one HotA tournament in the last year will be counted (the 5 listed in the first post + 3 more that are currently ongoing).

There's no guarantee that all the listed players want to participate in the tournament, so just vote with your heart :)

Tournament start date - 01.01.2018

Although, if there are many who want to start right now, we can do that too. It's just that experience shows that gaming activity decreases in the last days before New Year's.
