Good afternoon. What does the term "Hidden mini-map" mean in the rules, specifically in section 6.3.4? I don't understand point 3.2. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, a participant or judge must notify one of the organizers and provide evidence. How should a participant provide evidence? In what form? These are unforeseen circumstances, meaning a person cannot influence them; they arise suddenly. For example: driving home, they get into an accident (God forbid). Should they present a certificate from a medical institution or the traffic police? I suggest simply notifying the organizers. The rest is up to the participants. In this case, the participant, due to whose fault the game did not take place, should set a new date, and the organizers should accept or reject this date if it does not fit within the tournament's timeframe.

6.3.4.

I forgot how it looks in the standard and in the Tournament Edition :D

I forgot what it looks like in the standard version and in The Eastern Expansion? :D

How should a participant provide proof? In what form? That's what force majeure circumstances are for – a person cannot influence them; they arise suddenly.

I don't believe people on their word; a person can make up these force majeure circumstances. In the case of an accident, everything is correct: certificates from the traffic police or a medical institution. A live broadcast from the scene of the accident, etc. In the worst case, record the entire force majeure event on video and send it to the organizer. It shouldn't be left to the participants to make such decisions, but that's just my opinion.

Hey Remix, isn't that a bit harsh? Are you suggesting that all participants with a camera should have it pointed at themselves the whole time? Or should they hire a personal cameraman to do it 24/7, which would cost a fortune?

So, they'll send someone to do extra work during the tournament? And? Should everyone just leave and come back to play? Or should they grab a camera and ask their boss:

- Can you repeat all of that, I need to film it.

It just seems a bit much.

It's just too much.

Astral, if you're not sure about your schedule, it's better not to participate. I think you'll agree that this is "MY" cup, and I have the right to set the conditions I want. Believing people on their word is the last thing you should do. In the worst case, if you're the best of the best, you can say, "Forget this match, I lost," and then win the whole cup. If you want to discuss it on stream, you're always welcome. You're portraying me as some kind of tyrant, but in reality, it doesn't take much time to prove something. If you're delayed at work, film your workplace and the time you leave – that's all. I'm not forcing anyone to participate in my tournament; if you like the conditions, join; if not, don't.

In my opinion, the rules should be more lenient for players in order to attract more players. Although, it would be interesting to see this rule in action, so to speak.

after the words: "MY", "I have the right", "whatever I want"... I completely lost the desire to participate in it, no matter how badly I feel about it...

It's typical for young people to exaggerate everything, react emotionally, and make rash statements, etc. :smile42:
We need to take this more calmly and not take expressions and/or phrases literally or in a "deeper" sense... :smile26:
Let's be friends, not enemies! :smile12: :smile12:

No, I'm not portraying you that way. This is just a theoretical consideration.

Currently, 8 people are registered:

— Konstantin (Biolant)
— Kostya (Grim)
— Dima (Smoker)
— Mikhail (Kurcha)
— Gokudera (Gokudera)
— Kirill (Killandaction)
— 2 spots in the competition are from Ryzheborody (https://vk.com/public159624743?w=wall-159624743_63)

Oh, Gokudera. Let me know when it will be played, please. Something interesting is happening.;)

After the words: "MY", "I have the right", "whatever I want"... the desire to participate in it completely disappeared, no matter how badly I feel about it...

This means we will play according to the rules described above. Regarding the word "My" - the Cup is named after me, "I have the right" - if a person violates the rules, then measures must be taken, "Whatever I want" - I removed the rules from the previous cup that I didn't like (I removed what I wanted). The rules are listed above, and I do not intend to deviate from them.

P.s. NoPasaran! it's not surprising that you don't want to play in the cup. In the last one, you were disqualified for insulting the tournament participants. It seems you realized that the players are quite high-level, and you can't compete with them or you won't be able to refrain from insulting them (you need self-control, my friend).

Prizes for the winners:

The prize pool is formed from the contributions of the participants (it will be replenished over time) + 1400 rubles (from "Wombat Sun").
- 1st place: 50% of the prize pool + 5000 rubles (from sponsor Ilya).
- 2nd place: 30% of the prize pool.
- 3rd place: 15% of the prize pool.
- 4th place: 5% of the prize pool.

This is the first time I've seen a tournament where the organizers give the entire prize pool to the winners! This is very commendable and fair.

You won't believe it, but in Heroes, this is standard practice.

Come on, let's get started. Denis, Kirill, the random draw was kind to you, giving you both a chance to reach the final, just like Gray and I did last time. Good luck and exciting games to all participants; may the best one win.

Wishing all participants good luck and exciting games; may the strongest win.

....and may the strongest Gokudera Grey win :)
