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...

Well...


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

If we have confirmation from all potential participants that they want to participate, we can draw the pairings now. And whoever wants to (can) play, will play then. I might be able to stream 1 game this weekend (since I have 3 weekends in a row), and that doesn't happen very often for me right now.

Alright, let the tournament begin. “No time to explain.” (s)
ATG and FTS haven’t signed up yet, but Lizard said they’re in, so they’re in.

As many as three people signed up, it's the perfect time to start – everyone will get a prize! :smile54:

Due to the unexpected release of version 1.5, the start of the tournament is postponed by a few days to allow players to familiarize themselves with the changes.

I refuse to test the new version, and if I do, I'll withdraw from the tournament. P.S. Start the tournament in about six months, when all the bugs are fixed.

New versions of HotA traditionally come out around New Year's, so they will continue to coincide with the AllStars series tournaments, and this should be accepted as inevitable. Waiting half a year is not a good idea. I can only wait for feedback on critical bugs and then make a decision - to start immediately on version 1.5 or, for example, have the first round on version 1.4.2 and then switch to 1.5 (most bugs will probably be fixed within a month or two).

Well, last year this tradition was broken, and Heroes of Might and Magic III½ turned into a long-term project with an unknown release date. Therefore, I planned the last tournaments without taking into account the probability of this event. Like, if it suddenly happens, we'll see what to do. Well, it happened, so it's a good reason to discuss the procedure for "seeing what to do."

I couldn't decide whether I should participate in this tournament or not... I'm feeling very lazy right now, and I've almost stopped playing again, but when I saw +1000 experience in a building from two heroes, I almost got excited, because the nostalgia for the times of Heroes 2 is very strong! So, I guess I'll participate...

I completely agree with the previous speaker. I'm tired of being a guinea pig; there should be some time before this.

I would gladly play the new version. But besides the catchy name, the tournament doesn't offer anything appealing, so I don't feel like spending a lot of time on a large number of factions at the moment. Thanks, but I'll pass.

WHAT IS THERE TO TEST?! lol. It feels like these are completely different players and people, not the ones I used to know. It took me a full 2 hours (with all the details) to figure out the "new" Haven - and 1 full game (about 5 hours) for testing. That's it. And I highly doubt that the guys who were talking above spent more time and effort. It's just turned into some kind of "race to play Haven for the sake of playing Haven," nothing more.
