So what prevents you from making noise yourselves?

If the WoT community is capable of self-organization in real life, and the SoD community only exists online, then it is logical that club championships are held for WoT.

You need to understand that no one is against club tournaments for SoD. I, for example, am strongly in favor – I came to your tournament and even defeated Matrosov.

That is, the question here is the availability of organizers and the quorum of participants. So, among the WoT players, Aztec, an organizer, and 40 people willing to come were found – there will be a championship.

Or are you embarrassed that the "CIS Championship" brand went to the wrong hands? Well, it is logical that the most representative tournament in terms of quantity and composition should bear that name.

I don't know who will travel from afar in summer or autumn? Unfortunately, there is no alternative to the May holidays. And 2 trips a year is too much.

I completely agree. Personally, I am convinced that with the advent of the HD mod, the game version is no longer important. If before, one could argue that WoT/TE has a convenient interface, now this advantage is gone, and SoD is competitive.

Ultimatums are issued by SoD fans who say: "Oh, WoT... there's no point in going." I am ready to play any version of the game, and I go to the CIS Championship not so much for playing Heroes, but for communication, meeting old friends and meeting new ones, as well as for getting to know another city (country) and other entertainment, which in the modern world is the primary factor of a good tournament.

Now, no one will travel to watch a beautiful game, now there are streams and broadcasts, people have already watched enough beautiful games of pro players.

In Moscow, there was just a tournament, without any additional atmosphere (as far as I understand from this topic). People will not travel from afar for this, so the tournament turned out to be a "Moscow local event", and the game version has absolutely nothing to do with it.

For now, I see the opposite. SoD players criticize WoT for the inappropriate behavior in the WoT chat, and SoD players say that SoD is garbage, reveling in the offense for the words they themselves said.
And at the same time, TrueWoT players are organizing a tournament in which there will be both SoD and WoT – this is an ultimatum.
And yes, it will be noisy.

P.S. Regarding Michurinsk, as far as I remember, the main reason for refusing to play was the mandatory entry fees, because the game version could be agreed upon for SoD.

Yur, here I am, along with fellow SoD players Mizrael, Skorp, Leha, Vitalik – are we just confined to the internet?

Ultimatums are issued by Soda fans who say: "Oooooo, Warlords... there's no point in even going." I am ready to play any version of the game, and I go to the CIS championship not so much for playing Heroes as for communication, meeting old friends, and meeting new ones, as well as for getting to know another city (country) and other entertainment, which in the modern world is the primary factor of a good tournament.

There are two variations of Omaha: high and high/low – the combinations are the same, I can play both variations. In high/low, if I want to play in a large tournament and 320 BBs aren't a problem, but even for 11 BBs I don't want to play high (it doesn't make sense, although the combinations are the same!).

No one is forcing you to do anything. Debates about "what to play" haven't been very relevant for the past couple of years; they're just a lingering aftermath of past arguments. Everyone plays what they think is best, and doesn't pressure others.

You and Eric just haven't noticed this due to the low activity level.

You started the list correctly. And it ended with the 5th person, which is also telling.

But it's even more interesting to count the number of tournament trips to other cities in recent years - I think it will turn out that I have more such trips than all five of you combined. And the other SoD players have even fewer. And I'm far from the only one who travels like that.

So, the question is - who will the championship organizers cater to?

The issue of the game version should only be raised after ensuring the participation of the players. At least at the level of a declaration - "I will come if there is a SoD tournament."

Here's a specific situation - let's say that in Odessa-2013, it was decided to hold a championship in 2 brackets - SoD and WoG. Can you bring 16 true SoD players? And not just those who have already signed up.

NagaN, Eric, you are really stirring up trouble out of nothing. Recently, with the release of a full HD mod+, the versions have become so mixed that people no longer care what they play. The vast majority of WoG players play in all SoD tournaments (thanks to World!), so if some particularly stubborn "true SoD player" doesn't want to play full WoG, they will agree on SoD or WoG-lite, which is the same as SoD.

No one is forcing you to do anything. The arguments about "what to play" have not been very relevant for the past couple of years, they are just a lingering aftermath of past disputes. Everyone plays what they think is right, and doesn't pressure others.

Yur, you messed up. I have 3 from St. Petersburg, 3 from Moscow, 1 from Krasnodar, and 3-4 from Tambov. If you count Mizrael or Skorp, the number of times they came to my city for tournaments is countless.
If you've participated in, say, 15 tournaments, then yes, I respect that, but not more than Mizrael and Skorp.;)
