Antal, Antonov Alexey, participant, 8-911-2301241. St. Petersburg.

Come on, give it a rest! Let the young monsters have their turn!

There are approximately 5 spots left.
P.S. Placement on the first page is no longer relevant.

Krakh, Kruglov Maxim, Moscow, tickets haven't been purchased yet, spectator, +79268080945, the tour is not of interest.

Companions found.

There are 3 spots left for long-term rentals and 3 for short-term rentals.

Due to numerous inquiries, the meeting place remains unchanged, as it is very convenient: Vyborgskoye Shosse 3, Building 1 – we gather at KFC, located in the Okey store building, near the Ozery metro station. We depart on July 17th at 2:00 PM in a large bus. If anyone needs to buy alcohol for the banquet or just to take with them, as well as cigarettes or anything else, they should come and buy everything in advance. People usually arrive at the meeting point 2-3 hours beforehand, so there will be an opportunity to get acquainted and chat. The cost depends on the number of people – approximately 300 rubles one way. That’s all, if anyone has any questions, my contact information is available (or it can be found on the first page of this thread). See you there!

So, where are the latest news updates? You guys are already having a blast!

How many spots are left?

So, where are the latest updates? You guys are already getting drunk!

Today I left home at 9:30 AM and arrived at 8:30 PM. Tomorrow I'll leave at the same time and won't be back until midnight at best... what a great time to get drunk.
Latest updates? There's a lot to do, and I don't have enough hands. We'll somehow manage... what can you do?

I would especially like to emphasize this for the future: if you register for an event and withdraw a day or two before it starts, you are putting the organizer in a difficult position. You are putting them in a financially difficult position. This is also related to the subsequent inconveniences for everyone else: the budget is reduced, which worsens the quality, and the financial burden on each person who ultimately attends increases. The conclusion here is one: if you are not ready to guarantee your attendance, do not register. The hotels don't care about our "stories" – they are interested in the occupancy rate of the rooms... And the overall price they get from it.

The quality is deteriorating, and the financial burden on each participant is increasing. ... occupancy rate of the hotel rooms... And the overall price they charge for it.

I apologize, but I won't be able to come, even though I planned to and even paid 100% for the trip.
I would also like to add that the upcoming event was not adequately promoted. In this discussion thread, the last mention of available spots was on June 25 (!) by Zloy Romantik. There is complete silence on the streams of leading players and MS-Studio, although all Heroes of Might and Magic fans are interested in expanding the community. This is an audience, views, likes, donations, and advertising. After all, as was rightly noted, the price depends on the occupancy rate of the hotel rooms. The largest offline event deserves more attention. A large banner on the studio's stream - "10 (34...33..32... etc.) days left," the beginning and end of each stream with information about the CIS region, interviews with winners with questions about the offline tournament, etc. With a well-thought-out approach (ideally), there should be a queue for spectator spots. Who is responsible for providing timely information about events? There should be a dedicated person; Romantik clearly can't handle it all. However, right now, the potential for developing the Heroes of Might and Magic community is enormous, given the interest and expertise of the MS-Studio team. This is for the future.

Romantic went home, Midshipman will be home in an hour, he needs to get to me in 6.5 hours. Well, I guess we're still drinking...

I'll be at the meeting point in 30 minutes.
