I remember my first tournament, which was essentially where my hero journey began. That tournament was similar and was called "Fatherless Land." It was held at Sila's club, with fixed maps.

Participants from the last two St. Petersburg championships (about 10-12 people, essentially all the top Heroes players in St. Petersburg) were not allowed to participate, but such grandmasters as Antal and Master of Lighting were included due to their long inactivity.

And no one complained; on the contrary, there was a great desire to compete against them. As a result, these "non-fathers" defeated Antal 2-0, and Michel still became the winner of the tournament, although he had to work hard for it; in 3 out of 4 games, he was on the verge of losing. This is a smart approach.

Therefore, the whining of the local audience is perceived by me as something like "please give the poor and miserable a tournament point."

The novice tournament exists not to be won, but to play, to get used to the format of hero tournaments. It will not give the winner any prestige; prestige is earned by winning serious tournaments with serious opponents. Therefore, there is no reason to grieve about an early exit – the public will forget about the tournament results a couple of days after it ends.

Therefore, this tournament should be viewed exclusively as preparation for other, more prestigious tournaments.

and he could have even banned me :D

Hi everyone =) haven't been here in a while.
Yes, there was that time I took part in a similar tournament on the Portal.
But it was a completely different level of play. Much weaker. Back then they didn't know how to take the Griffin Conservatory on the 2nd (which can be seen from the report from 12/14/2010, ZM (blue, rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Mar (red, Valeska, Valeska) smka,126) let alone how to break into a GO on the 2nd. And how to take a Dragon Utopia on the 3rd.
Now, of course, this information is open to anyone who wants it.
I've already tried playing with some of those who have applied to participate in the tournament, but so far it's all ended in defeat. =(
So I'll be glad to go through the Young Fighter Course again. =))

he could have banned me :D

I'm not deleting this post so that this phrase serves not only as a chuckle but also as a warning to you.

Who knows what might happen, so with your permission, I'll give it a try – ICQ 365896749.

I want to participate in tournament 640239577.

A wise decision.

I suggest that the participants of the tournament assess the skill level of their opponents, who, in each person's opinion, is a favorite, average, equal, and who is still a bit behind.

My favorites:
Mar
Neverminder
13v
soulist80114522293

Average:
all the others

Equal:
Scorpiona, me, Kinb (although he is probably more average for me than equal)

A bit behind:
I don't see anyone yet.

I suggest that the participants of the tournament evaluate the skill level of their opponents, and determine who, in each participant's opinion, is the favorite, average, equal, and who is slightly behind.

And what is the purpose of this?

What's the point of this?

It's a PR move, advertising, sponsorship, bookmakers; serious business is being done here...

I suggest that the participants in the tournament evaluate the skill level of their opponents, and that each person identify who they consider to be the favorite, average, equal, and who is slightly behind.

In my opinion, the favorites are:
Mar
Neverminder
13v
soulist80114522293

Equals:
Scorpiona, me, Kinb (although he's probably more average for me than equal)

Average:
Everyone else

Slightly behind:
There aren't any yet

By the way, it's kind of strange: favorites, EQUALS, average, BEHIND. Is that like equals = almost like the best? And behind = just one hero and the Capitol on the first map? :)

And what's this for?

to look at the picture through different eyes, and to assess the situation more objectively

By the way, something strange is happening: factions that are EQUAL in strength are LOSING. Does this mean equal = almost like the "fathers" (strongest players)? And losing = 1 hero and the Capitol on the first turn? :)

It seems that the weakest lineup is currently in the "Novichok" (Newbie) team. If players who consider the point of the game to be placing bears on the first turn are considered among the "fathers" (strongest players), I'll be happy to be wrong.

It seems that "Novichok" currently has the weakest lineup, especially considering that some of its players consider placing Bears on the first turn to be the ultimate goal of the game. I'll be glad to be proven wrong...

I apologize, but who should a Barbarian player use if not Bears on the first turn? :smile28:

His joke about the Capitol has already gotten old. Maybe some people aren't aware, or haven't thought about the building tree, which has its roots in the economy, but it's simply impossible: Prefecture, Market, Guildhall, Forge, Magistrate, Stronghold, Castle, Capitol. It was impossible to build it before day 8.
Regarding the topic. I consider R55Max to be the main favorite. He plays very well, using the entire chain, and doesn't just clear the map with a single unit like I do, for example. 13v (better known on HW as JonnyJay) also plays very well, but due to being busy lately, he doesn't play regularly, and therefore will probably be a little out of practice, but if he gets into shape, it will be almost impossible to stop him. Contrary to the common misconception here, I personally consider myself to be somewhere between a weak player and an average player (especially on the campaign map, which I don't really enjoy). Let's say, even Sevensan, who just registered on HW and has been playing online for less than a week, plays better than me (he clears the map with a chain). And in general, I can't assess the potential of most of the registered players, as I haven't had the pleasure of playing with them. Not to mention the very real possibility of clones of truly strong players, who will upset all the pre-tournament predictions, because the level of their game and ours, the newcomers, is incomparable. Finally, as AYMAN rightly pointed out, anyone can beat anyone. A lot depends on the situation. It's just easier to beat some, and harder to beat others, but I'm sure there are no truly unbeatable players here (unless, again, we take into account the clones).
