Okay, 335-665-133, I’ll make a note of it.

Sevensan:smile03: Where have you been?:confused:

Please explain the strategy for the 8x8 template, at least for the first two weeks – is it just about building a Capitol?

That also makes sense.
I recently lost to a complete newbie; I've written about it before. The guy built a Capitol, and I gained a good momentum, but while I was chasing him through countless swamps and one-way paths, he leveled up and crushed me with sheer numbers.

Most likely, you just need to test it yourself.

You just need to ban him, and the problem will be solved:smile20:

That's exactly what I did, I tested all the paths through the dungeons, it's terrible. Does it make sense to start with money? It feels a bit unusual.

You just need to mark it, and there will be no problems:smile20:

They say that the Chinese only play it:smile17:

Yes, and by the way, I suggest adding Pete and Javdet to the rest. It doesn't seem very fair, or, if that's the case, let them choose a couple of candidates for their team using the same principle. This situation contradicts the very idea – the strongest should play, i.e., those who pass this selection.

Excellent, all invited players are here. So, let's move on.

The tournament format, as originally planned, will be Full Double Elimination. 16 participants in the bracket.
Since there are already 19 registered players, we will start with matches to reduce the number to 16.

marajan vs CryptoNight
ariputra vs Fidesxfx
Sevan_80 vs Stryfe

You can play one match, or you can agree on a match up to N wins; the main thing is to finish by January 9th. If you play more than one match and don't have time to get a result (for example, 1st game - A def B, 2nd game - draw, 3rd game - B def A and the time runs out), the result of the first decisive game will be counted, i.e., A's victory.
Therefore, report/confirm the result of each game.
The color for the first game will be assigned; switch colors.

Let's try to agree on everything today and be sure to immediately post on the forum when the game will be played and whether there will be a broadcast.

Once again, a brief overview of the requirements (if it is not clear what is meant, reread post 3 of the topic):
- ONLY SoD
- WC-2012 rules
- save games

To Albert@s
we need to talk; send me a message on ICQ, and before we talk, please read the first three posts of the topic; for some reason, it seems to me that you haven't read them.

Yeah, and by the way, I suggest adding Pete and Джавдет to the rest; it looks unsportsmanlike, or, if that's the case, let them choose a couple of candidates for their team. This situation contradicts the original idea - the strongest should play, i.e., those who pass this selection.

I apologize for consulting with the HW team, but I didn't consult with you. Again, you should read the first post of the topic first...

The World Championship, which Sticky will be hosting, is, in any case, a personal one (at least not a team one, not a battle of websites). Hence, the goal of the tournament is to determine the strongest players. Some organizers have taken this to heart and are essentially not giving other players a chance. Albertas (BertVolga) is exactly what he meant. (In the chat, by the way, he was supported by several Hive players, but when it comes to support on the forum, they quickly disappear.) The phrase "you're not from our sandbox" is particularly prevalent. But! The goal is for the strongest to win, not the one who has played a certain number of games for a particular website. Of course, quotas are given based on resources. But this mainly concerns foreigners. The Russian-speaking Heroes community has long since merged (which, by the way, was written about at the last MP even by those who are now advocating for determining affiliation with a website). By the way, this circumstance can be used to benefit the Russian-speaking community – if, for example, selections were held on all Russian-speaking websites, in which absolutely anyone could participate, the probability of identifying 9 of the strongest (3 from each of Bay, HP, and Hive), who will go to the World Championship, would be significantly higher. This means that the chances that Russian-speaking players will take the prize-winning places are also much higher than now. I believe that everyone who wants should be given a chance, simply because the strongest should win the World Championship, not the one who is more authoritative on a resource. For those who really feel they have the strength to take a prize-winning place at the World Championship, I advise you to try to register for the selection on Bay: http://www.forum.heroes.by/viewtopic.php?p=50179#50179 I don't know how Bayazet will select participants, but so far I haven't heard of any "us vs. them" principles.

The samurai couldn't pass up the chance to fart in a puddle.
The 1st post, and further on, already laid out the rules. And if the organizers decided to play with assembled teams, then let's play with assembled teams. I have no doubt that the majority of Heroes players still associate themselves with one of the resources. For example, Alex considers himself a bayevets, Pit associates himself with this resource, for instance, Neo is a portalovets. So, according to your Brazilian system, there's a high probability of this situation: Alex qualifies on HeroesWorld, Neo on Bay, Pit on Portal. Cool? Then will they switch, or leave it as is?

And if you're interested in the CIS being stronger this time around, then run a tournament with national teams yourself. Otherwise, you just show up to shoot the sh... And strictly in a certain direction — it doesn't matter whether the ones you've taken a dislike to are right or not. The main thing is to spew garbage.

Samurai, I don't rule out that the thread where the selection discussion took place isn't accessible to you. Although I think you probably sniffed it out. So, a compromise solution seemed to be found there — a vote plus a tournament. Naturally, some people didn't like it. But you can't please everyone.
Next. Stones thrown into my garden and Pit's for grabbing spots.
Pit won the vote by a huge margin — so the team trusts him.
For me personally, my qualification was a big surprise. It's pleasant, and of course I'd like to play. But there's also a big responsibility, the SoD and the possibility of a work trip during the tournament. Anyway, for the particularly nitpicky, I can even post the ICQ logs, where I wasn't particularly eager to participate in this way. And I can give up my spot to a worthy guy from our site.

Well, in short, this was chewed over for those who can't handle it with their own brains. If it still doesn't get through, then there's no point in explaining further.

Added after 9 minutes
And another thing. Someone compared the situation with Lebron and Fayer.

I think these are different cases. LeBron came from Portal, but he hadn't played for the Portal team.
It's nice, of course, that such a strong player joined.
With Fayer, it's a different situation. Many hoped he would play for us. And you, Samurai, by the way, lured him away. Personally, I, and I think many others, found his actions unpleasant — but it's his right. And now, since there's no tournament on Bay, he's asking to come back.
If it weren't for this fuss, I would definitely have voted for Pit and him.
That's all

The World Championship, which Stiky is organizing, is, in any case, a personal one (at least not a team one, not a battle of websites). Hence, the goal of the tournament is to determine the strongest players. Some organizers took this to heart and, in fact, are not giving other players a chance. Albertas (BertVolga) is exactly what he meant. (In the chat, by the way, several Hive players supported him, but when it comes to support on the forum, they immediately disappear.) The words "you are not from our circle" are especially common. But! The goal is for the strongest to win, not the one who has played a certain number of games for a particular website. Of course, quotas are given based on resources. But this mainly concerns foreigners. The Russian-speaking Heroes community has long since fragmented (which, by the way, was written about at the last MP even by those who are now advocating for determining affiliation with a website).

I don't know how Bayazet will conduct the selection, but so far I haven't heard about the principles of "ours" and "not ours".

I'm sorry for butting into your interesting conversation... but after reading your post, I can't help but ask a question + I think many people have read it, but they probably didn't want to interfere, but I can't just leave it like that, I'm sorry... What are these strange hints directed at Pit for LM?? Do you think he's not the strongest?? Maybe you can name your candidate?? Personally, I haven't met a more dangerous opponent than Petya... and I've played against many... and I think I'm not the only one who thinks so... your post is written out of envy, out of envy for the talent and the level of play that Pit demonstrates, personally, I want to be able to play as well as he does and have the same clarity, accuracy, and stability in my game!!! There was a VOTE on the forum, everyone named their candidate!!!

Judging by what the organizers have done with the selection process, the chances of the strongest players making it through aren't that high. 3 rounds, the system is unclear, but it seems to be a Swiss-system tournament.
I wouldn't be surprised if Alex, Stinger, or Samurai get eliminated.

Okay, we’ve fed the Samurai enough, that’s it.

We'll play a game with ariputra tomorrow, or on Sunday if we don't have time. We'll play a standard 8x8 map, my Dungeon against his Rampart.

Let me give an example (perhaps it will seem exaggerated to some):
There are clearly more than 9 players in the Russian-speaking community who play Pith (and for the Homunculus, the term "luckier" is more appropriate). There is no need to even discuss the strength of Yavdet's game. The point is that these strongest (or luckiest) players will still not be able to win everything, and someone will be left out. This is, at the very least, unsportsmanlike. And BertVolga, just like I am now, has pointed this out.
