Easy for Elena! Thank you to the organizers for the content.

I couldn't find any recordings of Falcon's semi-final match against Hell. Is it not available?

The ranks of those who have mastered the art of organizing have grown!
Congratulations to Frish and his team on the successful event. :smile54:
Unfortunately, I couldn't break away to inspect everything in person.
Voytech, congratulations on your victory! Now you are a resident of the Urals and Siberia! :smile19:

Respect Jelen, Kurwa partisan! Sibirian great champion! :smile23:
Waiting in Sibir zhopa mira to defend the title! :)

"What a phenomenon, the cup is leaving Russia."
Thank you all very much for the congratulations, it's very nice!
Thank you, Dima-DD, for the accommodation and help - I wouldn't have made it to Yekaterinburg without him.
Respect to Frish for the great organization and for hosting me in his apartment for 3 days. It was great.

I couldn't find recordings of Falcone's semi-final match against Hell. Are they missing?

For various reasons, other recordings were not saved.

Photos from the tournament, videos from different days, and interviews with players after the games can be found in the VKontakte group - https://vk.com/uscup
We took photos and recorded videos as best as we could. I would also like to thank Sergey! I have been following the streams for a long time, and thanks to this tournament, I was able to meet other Heroes players and participate a little in the development of the game in Russia.

I actively managed the VKontakte group, and several people wrote with questions about how to participate in the tournament. They didn't even know about this forum or the streams... The group was created from scratch specifically for the tournament, and Sergey invested in advertising. More than 16,000 people watched the 1/4 finals broadcast on VKontakte.

Grats, Wojciech, well played! Maybe someday you'll figure out the 6LM. Keepo. Thanks for the great tournament during the New Year holidays; I'm very glad that Sergey and his team took on this tournament and made it at a decent level. Both games were exciting, with Napalm lasting over 12 hours and with Wojciech, where at one point I was sure I would win, but it turned out to be a little different. I would like to highlight two of Goose's games, against Amilu, where he simply outplayed him, and the final against Hell. A worthy level from the very friendly and cooperative St. Petersburg community; Alexei is once again showing a high level of play, but he was a little unlucky with the elements in the final. I would like to attend such an event again in a year and have even more people participate. P.S. In 3 out of 4 games, Goose was either very drunk or had a terrible hangover, to the point that he was staggering. Guess which game he got a good night's sleep and rested before? Keepo

Excellent event, simply the best, it was a pleasant experience, and how could it be otherwise? Of course, it couldn't have been any different. Thank you all so much, I really enjoyed it, I played with my little ponies, etc. I'll try to be there next year because it's an indescribable feeling. P.S. I know which game I was preparing for, LUL, but the most important thing is that Wojciech said, "Let's have a drink," and I refused; it seems that was the mistake.

a wonderful event
huge thanks to the organizers for their hard work.

it's a pity that Heroes of Might and Magic V players don't gather even half as many as this

once again, congratulations to the winner
and best wishes to everyone to meet again next time

By the way, we still have an unawarded prize for the best comeback. I don't know who to give it to. Here are the options: Diabler vs Amiloo or Jelen117 vs MinasMorgul. Maybe there are other candidates?

It's a shame that the Heroes of Might and Magic V players aren't gathering, even for half of this.

It's time to update the version :D

Thanks to Dima-DD for the overnight stay and help.

You're welcome, friend.

And also, that 15-hour game with Napalm :D

It's a shame that the Heroes of Might and Magic V community isn't even gathering half of that number.

It's just that the Heroes of Might and Magic V community isn't putting in the effort. We could have organized a large and interesting tournament with them.

There are no awards for the best taunting of an opponent).

So, I've had a good rest, dealt with the basic tasks at work, and can now contribute to the forum:
1. Huge thanks to everyone who came and sincerely tried to stick to the schedule for games and rest. Unlike what I saw at previous LAN parties, it was very clean, and I commend us all for that!
2. The games were very interesting from the very first round to the final.
3. Now for the sad part, I didn't manage to implement everything I had planned from a technical standpoint. There's a lot to think about and work on in the future.
4. Although I tried to diversify the guys' stay in Yekaterinburg with various activities, not everyone was willing to get up and go. The good old poker game, from 10 PM to 10 AM the next day, still had its appeal.
5. And finally, perhaps the closing concert on the last day wasn't the best idea. It should have been held at the banquet; I think it would have been much better received. The guys who performed, seeing only 5-7 people in the hall, were just having fun for themselves.
I would also like to thank Ilya, Max, Vanya, and Dima for their help in organizing! Without you guys, I would have been done by the 3rd!
And lastly, don't think that this tournament was the only one, and that I won't do anything else. Expect more; I'm a very persistent person!
