Well, who's talking about CM, for example, Cherk from CM, Panic, Balance, 8mm, and Jebus will take care of everyone.
New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?

In summary: it's like a lottery, similar to poker.
But Nadal knows that if he goes to a tournament, he won't find grass under his feet :D That's what I'm talking about. And I'm sure that in tennis, it doesn't happen that the semi-final is played on grass, and the final on clay... or maybe even on a table tennis table :D Does that make sense?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Everyone should vote, and they'll know that the grass will be there no matter what, and not the ground they prefer.
All they need to do is be able to read and visit this thread where the rules will be decided.
Everyone is talking about the same thing... Only the voting should have been held BEFORE the qualifiers. Otherwise, it seems unfair that they will specifically prepare a clay court for Nadal. Isn't that right?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
So that everyone votes and "gives their opinion," and they'll know that the grass will definitely be there, and not the ground they prefer.
All it takes is being able to read and being able to visit this thread where the rules of the game will be decided.
There aren't any athletes in the modern world who excel in both hockey and soccer. I would compare this to tennis on different surfaces. There are tennis players who are favorites on clay but become easy targets on grass (many Spaniards and Argentinians). And there are very strong players who are good on all surfaces (Nadal, Federer, Djokovic).
The same applies to Heroes (an analogy to tennis). Some are very specialized – SOD smurfs (for example, Van), but within their specialization, they are strong players. And some are versatile and play very well in all versions (Alex, Stinger, Cobra, Le Bron). The former have two paths: continue in their specialization or become versatile and expand their capabilities.
Rafael Nadal was already the king of clay a few years ago (zero losses at Roland Garros for 3 years), but on grass, he was mediocre. Many told him that it wasn't his thing and that he shouldn't bother.
But he mastered the grass courts of Wimbledon, first reaching the final and then winning the tournament.
So, for us, changes in rules and versions are just changes in the surface. Naturally, for some, it's a major issue (SOD/Smurf players), but for others, it isn't (versatile players like Alex, Stinger, Cobra).
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Whatever happens, everyone should vote, and they will know that grass will be used, no matter what, and not the clay they prefer.
To do this, you just need to be able to read and be able to visit the topic where the rules will be decided.
Regarding the version. I still think that TE-Lite as the default is the best option, with players agreeing on any other version. And we should hope that fate doesn't pit Van and Forrest against each other.
Nagan, the idea of semi-finals doesn't seem very good to me. If there are problems with traveling to the final, where will people find the opportunity to travel to both places?
Well, during the qualifiers, SOD and SM, including the highly respected Forrest, were actively participating. And I think we should wait for all the qualifiers to finish and survey all participants about where and on which version they want to play. As for speculations like "I will go or not," I personally don't care – everyone is free to choose. Even if it's TE, I'll come to watch if the timing and budget allow.
I would ask that people like Catch, Dirty, and others not express their opinion on which version to play, which templates and which rules to use... i.e., don't spam here.
Because we all apparently decided that these issues will be decided only by the finalists.
