I would like to give a shout-out to the following people:
Baratorch - he deserved recognition last year and in previous years as well. The community is growing, new opportunities are emerging, bugs are being fixed, and plugins for the HD mod are being developed. He spends more time on Hero-related activities than many others. Definitely a plus!
Yar - for the numerous show Tournaments. This is a much more challenging task than many people think. The audience he attracts on his streams and the prize money he collects speak to the trust he has earned from his fans!
Sir Troglodyte. If previously the largest Hero community among well-known ones belonged to Tvaryna, now the undisputed leader is Sir Troglodyte on YouTube, with several tens of thousands of subscribers and views!
Dirty Player and his team. The portal is also not standing still; it is developing, and we can still organize and play Tournaments on it. The portal has maintained its undisputed leadership in online Tournaments for many years. And if the portal didn't exist, we wouldn't have seen many of the things that are happening now!
The Dendroid Foundation, thanks to which we can still witness the annual Hero gatherings! They not only spend their time but also their money. This is something that not many Hero players do.
Plugin developers, such as WizarDX, Ben80, Igrik, AlexSpl, and others. Their plugins increase the diversity and variability in the games. Many of their solutions are debatable, but you can't please everyone, and a number of players are already using their plugins. Respect to these guys!
Ihromant - for updating the Hero ranking.
Regarding the lack of significant Hero events last year, I disagree. There were plenty, in my opinion. Consider the appearance of the OverHero community on Discord, the World Team Championship, a number of show Tournaments by Yar, Troglodyte's breakthrough on YouTube, and the increase in the number of streams on Twitch, YouTube, and GoodGame about Heroes, as well as the increase in the number of viewers. Some of these events are still being discussed on and off streams.
