Posts from Preparing for the "Van Kanegem" tournament. Auto-translated

The starting castle is determined by the tournament organizers. However, in each round, it is chosen from among the castles relevant to that round. That is, in the first stage of the first round (Sword round, Heroes 1), the starting castle is selected by the organizers from either the Barbarian or Human castle. And so on.

So, there will be an overall leader across all heroes, who might not even have a single first-place finish? I don't see the point in that, and I've already given an example with different games – each installment of Heroes is unique, and each is like a separate game...

But since everyone seems to like this idea, I guess I won't interfere. As they say, "Don't interfere in someone else's business..." and so on.

You don't even have to take first place. But you will always have to be among the leaders. This will show that the player's skill is truly high. And it will simply be nice to see the results for all versions at once.
And in general, I encourage you to play all versions of the game; they are worth it!

You don't even have to take first place in any of them. But you'll have to consistently be among the leaders. This will show that the player's skill is truly high. And it will just be nice to see the results for all versions at once.
And in general, I encourage everyone to play all versions of Heroes, they are worth it!

Or play in significantly more tournaments than everyone else :D

They might be worth it, but not everyone can... I can't right now... in the future, I'll try to master some more... and gradually, instead of trying to do everything at once... if you chase two rabbits, you won't catch either :D

I have already given an example that a weak player, even if they play in all the tournaments, will not be able to outperform masters who have played in significantly fewer tournaments. However, a solid mid-level player will be able to ultimately secure a respectable position. The ability to play decently in all versions is already a plus for the portal.

I agree with Alexey; moreover, there are specialized tournaments on the portal where the leader for each game version is determined. So, a general rating is something new and useful.

I didn't quite understand. So, the question is: "In February, does the tournament start for all games at once (Heroes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or will it be one after another...?" Sincerely, AndersonAD

Each month, one stage of the tournament is held (February - Heroes 1, March - Heroes 2, and so on). Starting in July, the second round begins, following the same principle. One month per stage is quite reasonable, considering that there will also be other tournaments where you can participate.

Dear AlexeyPank, wouldn't it be possible to assign different people to oversee the results for each version of the game and start them all at once...?
Otherwise, it turns out that I, for example, love Heroes IV, and that means I have to wait until MAY to play...
P.S. (To be honest, I don't really want to wait that long because I don't really like Heroes 1, 2, 3, 5).

Dear AlexeyPank.. is it possible to assign the viewing of results to specific people for each version of the game and start them all at once ....

Sincerely, AndersonAD

The only thing is that such people need to be found. Furthermore, a new map will be needed every month for each version => a decrease in the quality and originality of these maps.
As for me, I'm mostly playing 3 right now. I played 2 about 5 or 6 years ago, and recently played a tournament (spent about 3 hours). I only entered 1 once just out of curiosity. In 5, I completed only a couple of campaigns. And 4... I played it when it first came out, but it didn't grab me. I think most people are in a similar situation; rarely does anyone play at least two parts well. Although one could participate just for the sake of participating.

P.S. And where is one to find the time to play 5 tournament maps a month?

Crash! As mentioned above, the point (and the whole essence) of this tournament is the combination of different game versions, uniting players from various versions into a single tournament table. If you want to play exclusively the third game, it might be easier to participate in another tournament (specifically for the third game); there will definitely be enough of them throughout the year... Otherwise, it's just "what if, what if..." – if grandma had...

It's simply not realistic to expect everything to happen at once.
Firstly, not everyone can afford to play in 5 tournaments a month (because they also need time for their life outside the game).
Secondly, other tournaments may be running concurrently, and you can participate in those as well, including tournaments for the fourth game.
Thirdly, preparing a map, running a tournament, and processing the results in one month would be tough on the organizers.
If you don't want to wait, you can participate in tournaments that are running concurrently (for the fourth game, contact STRANNiK).

Crash! As mentioned above, the point (and all the zest) of this tournament is the combination of game versions, bringing players from different versions together in a single tournament table.
If you fundamentally only want to play the third one, it might be easier to participate in another tournament (for the third one); there will definitely be enough of them throughout the year...
Otherwise, "what if, what if..." if grandma had...

Yeah, I get it now ;) I understand that the tournament is simply not for me... And as for wanting to play tournaments only in the third one—it's not a matter of principle, but because I don't know how to play others... A tournament for all versions means a tournament for all versions... And to ask the organizers to redo it for me?? -I agree, that's stupid... I was wrong yesterday....

Only my question wasn't answered: what about those players who come to the portal, say... in August?? What are their chances in the tournament???

What if a clan doesn't play at all, for example, in the 4v4 mode? Can they still participate in the tournament?

It's unrealistic to expect everything to happen at once.
Firstly, not everyone can afford to play in 5 tournaments a month. (because you also need to leave time for life outside the game).

In principle, you are right, I didn't think through all the situations...
So, we'll try playing other games too... :D
