Dear participants of the "Best of the Best" tournament, three options have been selected for voting: 1 - Diamond template, 2 - Shield template, 3 - another template. Please vote and leave your comments regarding your choice!!! We greatly appreciate ALL comments and suggestions, but this is not a discussion about the UPCOMING tournament, but a vote on a specific point in this one. No changes will be made to the rules and procedure of the tournament; the tournament structure has been determined!!!

Dear Leo will say, and everything will become clear!;)

my choice was to stick with the "Diamond" template.
If we're going to have a tournament on templates with the title "best of the best,"
then we should have played all the templates without any filtering, saying this one is good and that one is bad....
because
I doubt anyone would dispute the fact that
a truly strong player plays well on all templates
and it would be very strange
if someone who couldn't win the tournament blamed it on the fact
that they had to play the "Diamond" template.

Some didn't even play using templates. ;)

I believe that any changes to the rules, regulations, etc., after the tournament has started are unacceptable.

Excellent point! I completely agree that all changes should have been made before the tournament started. And now, it's best to play with what has been decided!
P.S. But if the voting isn't canceled, I'm voting for Shield!

If you're going to play a tournament on templates with the name "best of the best,"
then you should have played all the templates without filtering, saying this one is bad and this one is good....

Moreover, at the moment, all templates have one or another drawback.

I can't argue with that. But... this is already a late round, the decisive games. Due to the aggressive nature of the template, a lot depends on luck: which hero you get, how quickly you break through to the castle, etc.
There's another alternative. There are currently more templates than rounds. I'm not sure why 8 rounds were chosen. But if there were 9, there would be nothing to discuss. Only, if such a thing is possible, I think it would be better to put the Diamond template earlier in the schedule.
And in this situation, a logical choice is made from the two least played templates. They were rarely played because of the Diamond's aggressive nature and the Shield's drawn-out gameplay.
Considering the weakening of the Guardian's protection in 3.1 and the veteran difficulty, the Labyrinth and Shield templates have largely lost their characteristic of being time-consuming games.

There's another alternative.

Oh yes! The tournament won't suffer at all, it will only benefit if the 6th round is Diamond and the 9th round is Shield :)

I agree. Although it's not right to change the rules in the middle of a tournament, I think this change will only be beneficial.

Here's the thing – we need to conduct a general vote among the participants, and if even one person is against it, we cannot change the rules! Personally, I also support adding a 9th round, but we need to hurry with both the voting and determining the templates for the 6th and 9th rounds. Otherwise, we'll have to leave everything as it is.

If even one person is against holding a 9th round, then it won't happen. I am against it. Let me explain a little. Playing on templates at the veteran level is certainly interesting. From the discussion about the tournament, I concluded that the next tournament might be on the "Hero" difficulty level, or perhaps even on a mod. I think everyone felt that the veteran level is too easy for gameplay. And I, as I think many others do, am looking forward to a tournament on the "Hero" level. After all, on the veteran level, Orcs are clearly overpowered, and perhaps Humans are too. So, why extend the game on the veteran level? Maybe, if the next tournament is indeed held on the "Hero" difficulty, it would be better to use it.

Optimist) Some Western enthusiasts promised to finish their generator... it's unclear how long it will take, but it's supposedly very soon. Then, they say, the templates will be quickly adapted for it (it allows you to control many things and fix the current shortcomings). Then, of course, there's testing... In my opinion, a month is a good timeframe, but it could be longer. But here we're talking about just one extra week, which clearly won't make a big difference, right?

And will the posts that disappeared recently be restored, or will they have to be rewritten?

Dear participants, those who submitted reports yesterday, please resubmit them, as they have been completely lost. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you play as a hero and on the original game, the imbalance towards Orcs and Necromancers will be even more pronounced, and Engineers will be completely useless. So, I don't think playing as a hero without a mod is a good idea.
