There are no answer options like – I personally won’t participate in any case, but the idea is good. It doesn’t have to be Sir Davos specifically who wants to participate.

The topic is interesting for beginners, and so what – in any case, they make up 95% of the participants.

This is the best post on HW. I would definitely play if I knew what level to play on. Generally, it's not done this way; usually, the save from the first day of the map is sent. Otherwise, you could just recreate the map 1000 times, find the distribution where Moner/Gunnar gets the boots, the necessary artifacts/guards, the Grail under the castle, and a bunch of other minor things.

Save from day 1, meaning the player will see where the Grail is and then replay.

Absolutely! :D At first, I suspected that this was the second coming of this guy, but he probably wouldn't step on the same rake twice:

In general, it's not done this way; usually, the save from the first day of the map is sent. Otherwise, you can simply recreate the map 1000 times, find the distribution where Moner/Gunnar gets the boots, the necessary artifacts/guards, the Grail under lock and key, and a bunch of other little things.

Author, I have 2 requests for you:
1) fix all the flaws that you have been pointed out and will be pointed out by forum members;
2) don't disappear into thin air, like the aforementioned guy: if there is a real desire, you can try to organize a tournament, because he who does nothing makes no mistakes.
Finally, this is really some kind of revival, especially in the offline sphere.
I join the important question:

I would definitely play, if I knew what level to play at.

P.S. I won't be able to participate myself, as the tournament is held on the HotA version, which I don't have installed and don't really want to deal with yet.

Well, if we set aside the jokes, speedrunning maps is what hero tournaments started with around 2005, but with the advent of fast unlimited internet, everyone started playing online. Our forum has such a section with an archive of past tournaments. Although some resources still hold such tournaments. For a full-fledged game focused on speedrunning, you need:
1. Tournament rules outlining prohibitions and restrictions on using bugs. For example, ХВ rules. These rules were written for the SoD version; much of it is no longer relevant for HotA.
2. A starting save file to create equal conditions.
3. Final results should be accepted not in screenshot format, but in final save file format – saving before the last action, before which victory occurs.
4. Clear criteria for winning. Secondary criteria, if needed.
