I'm betting on Napalm to win.

Message from Nagan-4
Odds for winning the tournament

AlexTheGreat - 5.5
Bayazet - 8.0
Roland from Gilead - 9.0
Stinger - 9.0
TERM - 9.0
Kobra - 10.0
Any other - 2.0

2 RfG. I swear I didn't write this. Bookmakers and betting are not my thing.

I think players just want to play and chat with people, and they wouldn't want other players to start arguments because someone gave someone a hint or stood in the wrong place. This is also an integral part of communication and a great Heroes atmosphere. If there is a material factor, the possibility of such misunderstandings increases many times over.

Otherwise, we won't see Kobra, AlexTheGreat, Bayazet, Stinger, and other masters of the game giving their all. So that the truly best player can be determined. Otherwise, the tournament will become a formality after the first round and will hardly be completed.

For now, I just suggest making the entry fees optional for the players. Of course, only they will be eligible to claim a share of the prize pool.

I don't think 2,000 rubles is such a big hit to the budget. There would be players who would pay to participate in a tournament where almost all the best Heroes players are gathered.

Also, as far as I understand, the football team from St. Petersburg is expected to arrive, so I think it would be wise for everyone to bring sports shoes, of course, if there is a field to play on in Michurinsk.

There will be.

I would advise Nagan to think about a possible plan for the players and guests' leisure activities (barbecue, fishing, hunting, mushroom and berry picking, etc.), because spending several days in May in a club is a faux pas.

Did I write anything else? Read the first post in this thread. People will have a good time, clubs, barbecues, cafes, bowling, etc.

Sorry if it offended you; the quote is definitely not yours. You're still getting used to copy-pasting. :)

Otherwise, we won't see Cobra, AlexGreat, Bayazet, Stinger, and other masters of the game giving their all. This is how we can truly determine the best player. Otherwise, the tournament will become a formality after the first round and will hardly be completed.

That's the whole point: we, as ordinary spectators, expect entertainment for ourselves and often don't care about what the participants themselves want. Traveling for almost a day just to spend all the time in a club is extremely unreasonable. I already feel a little sorry for the winners. A single-elimination tournament will never determine the best player.

The tournament is secondary; the meeting is primary. If I'm not mistaken, Vic once tried to convey a similar idea about the spirit of the community.

I don't think 2,000 rubles is such a big hit to the budget.

Do you really think that this amount is very significant for someone, and they will definitely play at full strength and give up drinking, playing poker, etc., to get enough sleep before the next round? There is no doubt that the tournament will take place and the winner will be known even without the money. However, questions about whether spectators are giving hints, talking loudly, or otherwise interfering with concentration, etc., may arise.

P.S. The questions raised are purely rhetorical and do not require mandatory answers or counterarguments. This is just food for thought.

Wow, Vic is a genius born in the wrong time. Sometimes it feels like you understand him, and sometimes it feels like you don't. And it's unknown where he'll turn next. For me, a straightforward and somewhat simple person, it's not ideal.

Well, let him drink. He'll leave the money to the winner of the Tournament, the person who will play to the end.

There is no doubt that the Tournament will take place without money, and the winner will be known.

Let's wait for comments from AlexGreat, Cobra, Bayazet on this matter.

Read the topic first; it's quite interesting at times. If you summarize all the wishes of the participants, including those playing in pairs, there are more than 30 people, and this will require the assistance of Abramovich. We looked for compromises, argued, and if we hold it well, then we won't have done it in vain.

But they definitely won't sit in the club for that long. No, there is a chance that someone will get stuck in long matches. But most of the guests and participants come for a full-fledged rest. I hope that I will at least partially be able to revive the atmosphere of those old Krasnodar Tournaments, which Horn, Matrosov, General Yura, Cobra, Borzoid, and Yama-Dharma, who come to Michurinsk, remember.

There will be chess, football; I don't know about volleyball, I don't know where to find a net.

We and Dimka will bring him some alcohol. :) And Dirty will take some non-alcoholic beer. It's a pity I won't be able to drink myself:(

A system of mutual favors. :)

Attention, this is Slonysh from his laptop!

As Vigo said, promising to leave at noon, we left right on time - now.

Live broadcast from Vigo's car.
Vitalik is getting the sandwiches:
- Yes, we'll eat now.
Vitalik is wiping me with wet wipes for some reason.:eek:
Vigo is driving and enjoying life. Stas (Vigo's friend) starts eating the sandwiches. I'm not red-haired, I'm joining in too.

See you all!:cool:

You're having fun :)

You're having fun.

Nah, Tanya, we're having even more fun. We met Mizrael and Scorpa first, of course. Today there was a trial in Tambov, and we had a fun ride back together. We met Asma and Mee, and today we're expecting Muscovites in 2 cars and by train.

Stinger and his crew got stuck in traffic for a long time, so they'll be arriving later.

Decon couldn't resist either; he's coming to visit. He called last night.

By the way, at the same time as the gathering in Michurinsk, the Russian bodybuilding championship is taking place. We had a nice chat with the muscular girls from Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Voronezh; we'll be cheering for them tomorrow.

P.S., We're waiting for everyone.

Well, I just put my sister on the train a couple of hours ago :) So, wait for her and meet her!

Yeah... I was going to wait for those coming on the next train from St. Petersburg. But then I thought, their carriage probably won't make it :DDDD It's just too much of a wild bunch =P

Greetings to all participants of the second CIS championship final!!! As a participant in the first final, I know how intense the competition will be, both in front of the computers and at the gaming tables)))) I would love to come, but I have family matters...
I will be rooting for our Mee and Merlin... and may luck be on their side:D

How did Bayazet end up on Stinger in round 1? :mad:
I can only wish everyone good luck! Siberia, go!

How did Bayazet end up on Stinger in the first round? :mad:

Predsa has a knack for it :)

Will there be any broadcasts? And where is Vitalik? And has the tournament for the second game started?

Predsa has a good touch :)

Wasn't that against the rules? Or did they change it? I would have liked to see this pair in the final/semi-final.
