An attempt to organize a team tournament between countries! Auto-translated

By the way, it's a really interesting question: how will a team with an unlimited number of players divide the prize pool? :D

And Hell is absolutely right about the player selection. I probably wouldn't want to play such templates myself (and I'd have to coordinate with someone about the restrictions), but let's say I could apply as a captain. And having active champions from the CIS region in the player pool, I wouldn't send a newbie to play; I wouldn't even play myself.

Not a bad idea, but it's called a trainer, not a captain.

With an unlimited roster for the Russian team, the following approach can be taken:
Before each specific match, the captain finds those who are available to play that particular game. If more than one person wants to play, the player is chosen by vote or random draw. The same applies if a substitute is needed, as the main player cannot continue the game for some reason.
If the team places among the winners, the prize will be shared only among the participants who played the games.

This way, everyone who wants to play in the tournament will have a chance, and the difference in experience with players from other countries will be minimized, compared to if a few experienced players represent Russia.

It would be nice to write something nonsensical, but don't confuse a team with a random group of people; a team implies the best representatives of the country (at least from those who were selected).

It seems that most Heroes of Might and Magic games end around week 4...

It's no secret that "daddies" (for the most part) are adults with families, jobs, and personal matters, and they are also involved in other tournaments. The question is: how can you manage with 3 "daddies" who will definitely play every week and stream, possibly even playing on uncomfortable templates, and on top of that, still manage to participate in other tournaments and solve personal problems? Hellight, you have it easier in this regard. You can play several games in parallel and still at a high level, but not everyone can do that... In general, choosing 2-3 TOP players and consistently using them whenever possible is, of course, the ideal option for achieving the maximum goal. Registration in a tournament does not guarantee participation in it. I wrote about this. Registration is, at most, an indicator for the captain, who will see that the player is ready to play if needed. The division of prize money is no longer the organizer's responsibility, but the captain's and the team's responsibility as a whole. If you don't like the captain, either suggest another candidate or don't play when he calls you up (if you suspect that the captain is not going to share the prize money with you). I, for my part, must ensure that the sponsor pays the captains. Yes, playing on HL+U templates often ends in the 3rd or 4th week (and sometimes even earlier). But in these games, there is usually no money at stake, and it's easier to give up and not bother (you are only responsible for yourself). But here, you are responsible for the result of the entire team, and the chance that they will try hard and play in the late game until the very end may increase significantly.

Not a bad idea, but that's called a coach, not a captain:D

It wasn't really stated that the captain has to be a top-tier player, or even participate in the games. They should primarily be an organizer.

What a circus! When will the final rules be announced?

The core rules have already been established. If there are any further changes, they will likely be minor adjustments. Perhaps we'll add some templates, but given the small size of the hosting team, the probability of this is not very high (but it exists). The tournament will start either on February 26th (with the standard Monday schedule) or on March 1st (with a shifted Monday schedule, with the weekend in the middle of the round). I have added an amendment regarding the possibility of playing more familiar templates (requires the opponent's consent and the presence of a streamer who is willing to stream from both sides according to the established requirements).

Guys, let's boost our egos! We've gathered together and chosen a leader!

Do you think no one was killed in Belarus? (You might even see someone get beaten in the team... at least among the heroes :)) Bishop's candidacy as a clan elder would be quite suitable!
P.S. I would like to ask Armag how he plans to deal with the abuse of playing 2-player games in a team where there are more than 2 of them? That is, the captain can play 2 games himself under various pretexts and give 1 game away... what is the rule regarding this?

Yes, is there a manual on “what methods exist to influence the captain so that he lets me play once and how to get a couple of hundred from the prize?” :D

Just say that you're communicating as the winner of the last subscriber tournament :) Especially since you beat Sasha_M twice during the tournament.

Do you think no one was killed in Belarus either? (look, someone in the national team might get it too... at least from the heroes :) Bishop's candidacy as the elder of the clan is quite suitable!

Anton, why are you always dissatisfied with something??? either crying on the stream, or on the forum... if the tournament is not interesting - don't participate - it's simple! PS ! play your no-life HotA mirrored Jebus Cross quietly and enjoy it!

Anton, why are you always dissatisfied with something? First you whine on the stream, then on the forum... if the tournament is not interesting to you, don't participate — it's simple! PS! Just quietly play your own tryhard HotA mirror Jebus Cross and enjoy it!

I want specific rules, and who are you to give me advice? Sit in Baranovichi and keep quiet.
