Everyone in this thread has to show off.

And me... And me... And me, once... oh well, it's a shame that audio recording wasn't saved.

And I... And I... And I once...

Once doesn't count :D

So, are you planning a trip to Kyiv? ;)
And what about Org Tvaryna?
Let me help out.

1. First, let's make a list of who is ready to come. (Send it to me via ICQ /310362915/ or to Tvaryna - we will exchange information and post updated info here)
2. Dates - as I understand, it's during the New Year holidays. I'll probably go skiing abroad as usual... but I'm ready to help now.
3. Prices in Kyiv.
Beer - from 0.5 dollars per bottle. In a restaurant, it can be up to 4 dollars. It's not worth bringing cognac, vodka, wine, or beer, as there is a huge selection here and it's cheap.
Lunch - up to 6 dollars.
Accommodation - depends on what those who come choose. Cottages/bases - need to be checked, and if in Kyiv, then 30 dollars for an apartment:

Hi! Yes, it would be great to have help from more experienced comrades.

I don't quite agree with the prices. IMHO:
Good beer is about 1 dollar (PBB), lunches from 6 dollars - in places like Puzata Khata (a good canteen), in pubs it's naturally more expensive (although set lunches will be about the same price). In general, prices are significantly lower than in Moscow, for example, and slightly lower than in Minsk, for example.

Apartments from 30 dollars - as a rule, this is a one-bedroom apartment far from the center + prices for accommodation increase by at least one and a half times during the New Year holidays. That is, in reality, apartments will cost 50-100 dollars for a two-bedroom apartment. But cottages/bases need to be checked, yes. I'll take care of that.

You should definitely pay attention to the towns/bases.

Well, basically, that's the only option to consider. Hiding in houses isn't a viable strategy; we didn't come here to play hide-and-seek :D

Well, that's the only option we should consider. Hiding in houses isn't an option; we're not here to play Heroes :D

I understand. I just want to make sure that people also play Heroes and that we finally cover it properly in terms of streaming.

How much does it cost to play in a Wargaming Tournament (WT) in Kyiv, or at least in a WT under the Shades of Darkness (SoD) ruleset?

We remember Puzata Khata, yes, it had decent food. My friend still remembers it. As for beer, I had the most delicious white, frozen beer in a beer bar in Odessa, Ukraine (I just forgot the name, it was like a German bar. Maybe Satirich or Redwait will remember...).

There isn't much time left to choose a base and everything else. A club/apartment is definitely not an option; a cottage/base is much more preferable!

So, can I already submit an application for my wife? Kyiv?

Hi everyone.
If the championship is held in Moscow or St. Petersburg, I'm ready to come. If it's in Kyiv, then it's unlikely.

P.S. It would be great if it were in Moscow or St. Petersburg, especially like last time, with Nagan.

It would be good to create a poll to see who can come to which city to play.

There is a great computer club called Playground in Moscow, it's very comfortable.

As far as I remember, its structure allows you to organize streams so that other players don't hear them: it's in a large hall. Players can sit at one end, and streamers at the other. Although, I think there are even separate rooms for computers. There are definitely VIP rooms.
The prices are quite reasonable, I provided a link to them. There is a good cafe in the club itself. The administration is very reasonable.
The internet is fast there, and the computers themselves are powerful, which is, of course, an undeniable plus for organizing good streams.

favio, computer clubs are a thing of the past. For most veteran players, Heroes is primarily about relaxation, spending time with friends, and socializing, with computer gaming coming second, in between. IMHO.

I won't be able to make it during the New Year holidays – I'll be going home. But I'd be up for playing during the weekend in PG (Moscow). We could organize a blitz tournament and dedicate Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to it. Who else is on board? It would also be a great opportunity for people to meet, chat, and watch streams.

Plus, it would be a great opportunity for people to meet up, get to know each other, and watch some streams.

Is PGU located near Tishinka? If so, I'm in! I spent so many study hours and semesters there back in the day...

That's right, PG is located on Tishinka.
The and Yegor are already IN, I see)))
Dust, I agree with everything, but still, a championship is a championship, where first of all, you need to play well :D

Dust, I agree with everything you said, but a championship is still a championship, and the main thing is to play well:D

Nothing like that. If we're talking about Muscovites, then perhaps the club can organize something for them, but for those coming from other cities, this is clearly not the right format. In 2013, there weren't many reasons for someone to travel from another city just to "play Heroes"; they need a proper vacation and comfort with all the associated amenities.

As for this tournament, since Tvaryna is organizing it, it's obvious that the tournament will be held in Kyiv and nowhere else.

If I understood correctly, Nagan was also in favor of holding the tournament in Kyiv? And many supported this idea. Over the past few days, I have reviewed proposals for cottages in Kyiv. In general, it's not as bad as I thought. The only thing is that most of them are located on the outskirts and often just outside Kyiv. That is, there is no infrastructure within walking distance. But there are also options in the city. There are many offers, and the size and capacity of the houses vary accordingly. From 2000 to 4000 UAH on average. (1 dollar = 8 UAH; 1000 rubles = 250 UAH). Here is a good option in my opinion: http://www.domik.net/nedvizhimost/kiev-sdam-dom-posutochno-stecenko-ul-id485394.html The price is very reasonable (2000 UAH per day = 1000 dollars for 4 days), the house is available on the desired dates (I inquired about January 3-7 for 4 days). I briefly spoke with the owner - there are supermarkets and a sauna nearby (there is no sauna in the house itself), the internet is good (according to her), there are 8-10 beds, up to 20 people should fit comfortably for the game. The owner likes poker :) In general, this is like the first option. In a few days, I will go to see the house and the area. There are both pros and cons here: + good price, nice interior in my opinion, internet, 130 square meters without a sauna - this is a good size, a reasonable owner, there should be some infrastructure - there may not be enough space for everyone - but if there are up to 20 people, it should be okay. The house is simple, without frills. There is no sauna (but there is one nearby within walking distance), it is relatively on the outskirts of the city. In general, these are the latest news. Let's continue the discussion :smile12: Added 6 minutes ago Several other house options that I also plan to consider: http://www.domik.net/nedvizhimost/kiev-sdam-dom-posutochno-sadovaya-ul-id836124.html http://www.domik.net/nedvizhimost/kiev-sdam-dom-posutochno-gorodeckogo-arxitektora-ul-id626624.html http://www.domik.net/nedvizhimost/kiev-sdam-dom-posutochno-sadovaya-ul-id572109.html http://www.domik.net/nedvizhimost/kiev-sdam-dom-posutochno-tupoleva-akademika-ul-id603853.html
