That's why I never play 8mm6a, because all the games take an unreal amount of time. It's not normal to play one game for 15-20 hours; in that time, I could play three Jebus games.
Plus, with control, games on 8mm6a often end in a draw, at least from my own experience. So, forget about wasting time on that.
The template is interesting, but it's too long.

This is precisely why you will never reach the level of a top player.

The real game usually begins after the first finale; everything before that is just completing homework. On Jebus Cross and similar templates, the game typically ends at the first finale.

The ability to fight neutrals and build chains to collect goodies is the simplest part of the skill set, something many can master. The ability to fight an opponent is a more complex aspect, mastered by few — I occasionally watch streams, and most finales induce boredom due to the sheer number of mutual mistakes. Even harder to master is the ability to maneuver on the map in the late game — capturing and holding territory, distributing forces across different areas of the map, catching enemy weaklings and the main army, intercepting reinforcements, etc. And the most masterful skill is the ability to come back from bad positions. Lost the finale in the 2nd or 3rd week? No big deal, we'll bring in the endgame.

I'm shocked, the tickets went on sale today and are almost sold out (for the most convenient train from Moscow, which leaves at 11 PM and arrives at 10 AM local time). Therefore, the question is, if I take tickets for a different time, there is quite a large range: on the 2nd, in the evening (from 7 PM local time), until 5 AM on the 3rd. What would be more relevant? In general, it seems that tickets need to be bought in the coming days. In this regard, there are two questions: who from Moscow is planning to go, and who is definitely going? How do you plan to get there? And a question for Tvarin, regarding the arrival date, from the options above, which is better?

I mentioned it above – there are two trains: Moscow - Gomel (Brest) – they run daily. The one to Gomel is more expensive, and the one to Brest is cheaper (800 rubles difference). You can meet up, and it takes 4 hours to get from me to Kyiv for 10 USD.))) If you can't find anyone and have trouble with transportation, you can consider this as an option.

Good option, I'll keep it in mind. Would it be more convenient for you to pick it up from Gomel or Brest?
In general, I'd like to finalize the details this week; currently, I'm 95% sure I'll be able to come.

Actually, it's a Heroes tournament, not a poker or beer pong tournament.
