For those interested in what to expect from the Siberian weather, I offer archived data. 2009 2010 2011 2012
Don't scare people too much with the weather, or the quorum will quickly disappear! Let it be a pleasant, unexpected surprise! :D
The "heroic" weather is a good thing! Maybe I'll even shake off the rust then :smile13: because looking at Odessa, old-school players can still cause problems for some! ;)

Lesha, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, and here is the occasion. :smile20: I'm coming, either with my wife or alone, can't say yet.
One condition: don't turn the champ into a pleasant drinking bout, so that we can start normally and end the same way. I vote for SoD.

How is it possible to organize a tournament in just three days?

After the first day, a third of the participants will be eliminated if there are double eliminations. Some will lose and get upset, while others will immediately start drinking. :smile51:
After the second day, when a lot of people have two losses, even more will be eliminated.
After the third day, there will probably be only two left... they will compete for 1st place, and some of the guests might stay for an extra day, plus the locals... so it will probably still take 4 days if the games are played properly.

That's right. If there are no more than 16 participants...

and, by the way, an idea immediately arose - maybe someone will find it useful.
We could preliminarily hold a well-thought-out selection process online (for example, not a single-elimination, but a double-elimination), so that exactly 16 selected players would make it to the final, and there would be reserves from the spectators (those who were higher in the selection).

But it may well be that this idea is not very suitable for Heroes.
Tournaments are held in this way for Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, poker, with online selection and a strictly regulated LAN final, but there are thousands of players there, and we will only have about 28 participants, and 6 more won't be able to come, and to exclude someone from those who are coming to play through an online selection... yes, it seems like this idea is not very good.)

Well, let it sit until a suitable situation arises... let's say if we need to reduce the bracket from 34 to 32 people, I think it's still a good idea.

We could preliminarily hold a well-planned online qualifier (for example, not a single, but a double-elimination tournament) so that exactly 16 selected players would make it to the final, and backups would be chosen from the spectators (those who ranked higher in the qualifier).

But it may well be that this idea is not very suitable for Heroes.
Tournaments in Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, and poker are held in this way: an online qualifier and a strictly regulated LAN final, but there are thousands of players; in our case, only 28 participants will gather, and 6 of them won't even be able to come, and to exclude someone from those who are coming to play through an online qualifier... yes, it seems like this idea is not very good.)

Well, let it lie until a suitable situation arises... let's say if we need to reduce the number of participants from 34 to 32, I think it's still a good idea.

Yes, if we need to reduce the number of participants from 34 to 32, then only in Novosibirsk. :)
Provided that the poles shift, the ice caps melt, the Ob River turns into a warm sea, and the city becomes Odessa.

If 16 people gather, that will already be great.

P.S. I just read that it's at the Olimpiyskaya arena... even better.

I'm not one to sit still for long, and spending two days on a train is tough. If Oxi or Horn are going and agree to play a couple of games with me along the way, I'm ready to buy tickets for their train. Otherwise, I'll go crazy from boredom. :smile13:

I'm a restless person; it's hard for me to sit on a train for two days. If Oxi or Horn are traveling and agree to play a couple of games with me along the way, I'm ready to buy tickets for their train. Otherwise, I'll go crazy from boredom. :smile13:
Eric, I'll probably take a plane. And I'm not even from Moscow. But otherwise, I'd gladly join.

can it be a three-player game??? ... (but seriously, TWO days is a long time :) )

If you're traveling by train for more than a day, then a plane is definitely a better option, even considering the cost savings.

A steam train is much more enjoyable than an airplane. We'll just play a three-player game instead of a two-player game. If you're up for it, of course;) Only SoD.

Kostya, could you give me an estimated budget for the event? I just checked the plane tickets, and it's a complete disaster. Moscow - Novosibirsk round trip from 11k Yekaterinburg - Novosibirsk round trip from 22k O_O I'm in shock...

Moscow - Novosibirsk round trip from 11k
Yekaterinburg - Novosibirsk round trip from 22k O_O
I'm in shock...
Yeah, I also checked on the S7 website - it's really almost 22k...
We flew to Odessa for cheaper with a layover, lol, probably 2.5 times further...

Well, from Yekaterinburg, you can take a train, it's not very long - about a day.

It's still too early to talk about the budget for the event, as we are only considering suitable options! This includes even the Sheregesh ski resort - http://www.sheregesh.su/

But I honestly have some doubts about the feasibility of the latter. ;-)

Alexey, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, and this is a good excuse. :smile20: I'm coming, with my wife or alone, I can't say yet.

I'll be very happy if you come! I'm waiting! :-)
It would be even cooler if Horn could come too!

P.S. Better vote for G2 ;-)

I'm bringing this topic up again. The deadline is approaching, and I'm letting you know that the event is still on and will take place regardless of the weather or the number of participants. Of course, the number of people will also affect the location. Therefore, I've reset the poll; please vote again or express your opinion in the thread so we can understand what to prepare for.

P.S. Something seems to be wrong with the poll... If you plan to come or are likely to come, please contact me via ICQ.
