Well, if we stick to this option, let's start with 2 random choices, then mirror them, and if there's a tie, we'll play a fifth game. Or we can use cards, or again, random selection.

And in general, the balance with cards suffers, as has already been said, and random selection covers up this shortcoming) So there's at least more fairness...

Having a good draft is certainly beneficial, but ultimately, the one who chooses second will win.

By the way, who is my opponent in the 1/2 round?

The winner of the match between valery and HoM[M]ie.

This very initial system has one significant drawback – it involves an even number of games (4).

And then, we got Garuna against Helmar for the first game. There's no point in even playing; it's clear from the start.

Well, if we stick to this option, let's start with 2 random heroes, then mirror them, and if there's a tie, we play a fifth game. Either by cards or again, randomly.

With the Warlord, we played in the semi-finals with a choice (we agreed on it). In the first, third, and fifth games, I chose first.

Final:
Before the start, each participant lists 11 heroes that the opponent cannot use.
They play until 5 wins.
Hero selection is from the heroes not banned by the opponent. One player creates four games, the other player creates four games, and the ninth game is played on Obsidian Fields. The first player to be listed in the pairing creates the first game. The first player chooses the land, then the second player chooses a hero, then the first player chooses a hero, and the game begins. In the next game, the heroes that played in the previous games do not participate.

League rules are good, but playing up to 5 wins seems a bit too much. There were suggestions for 7 games, otherwise it could potentially extend to 9...
It's difficult to play all the games in one go, and otherwise, it might take too long.

That's how we'll play. And I'm not planning on doing any more experiments.

League rules are good, of course, but playing to 5 wins seems a bit much. There were proposals for 7 games, and then potentially all 9...
It's very difficult to play in one go, and otherwise, it might drag on.

And the rules for the 1/2 stage remain the same, I hope?

Viz, don't take it to heart. We're not saying that you came up with complete nonsense – the card idea is actually good, really good. You just didn't quite think it through.
And playing to 5 wins isn't that bad – Dexterwar and Roma managed to play, didn't they?

Lol, you think things like that actually offend me?

I've said everything I wanted to say about the tournament. There are league rules that are refined and balanced.
