Posts from A small, informal tournament among club members in Moscow? (February 14-15-16)

Tomorrow I will describe my thoughts on this in more detail. As I mentioned in the main post, the idea came spontaneously, and as they say, there's no harm in asking.

Let's start from the beginning. Organizers of Competitive SOD tournaments in Moscow are traditionally banned and insulted on our forum. For example, favio recently suggested a club near Tishinka (which is actually a good location). But, as expected, he was attacked. Regarding Vigo. First, February 14th is his birthday, and it's a romantic day. I don't know if he'll want to spend it among the people who harassed him. Second, the organizer is always wrong and blamed for everything. I still remember the posts filled with black ingratitude from many people directed at the organizer of a competition in one of the European capitals a few years ago... There's also the issue of status. To be honest, someone who shows up to the competition and plays is a decent person, but someone from another city who just sits around spreading negativity and belittling everyone's achievements is a cheater and a disgrace. In a good sense, of course. I can predict that if the club is located near a metro station and within the city center, there will be spectators. Because there always have been. I'm going to venture that the largest number of spectators will be on February 15th. Besides being a Saturday, the fact that it's the day after February 14th will occupy the evening for many potential spectators.

Qwerty, hello! What didn't you like about the story with Favio? Were you told who he is and what the potential misunderstandings might be? He's an arrogant, self-absorbed, and mentally unstable Muscovite. I'm not going to publicize his full name again – who's stopping you from communicating with him and playing with him? I don't understand!? In general, it looks funny from the outside – you don't seem like experienced players; you're being tricked right under your noses – and quite brazenly, I might add – it's really amusing.

P.S. and your phrase, "the one with the hair," is just great!

Thank you, Querty, it's certainly very inspiring, but I don't quite understand what your post is about.

It's like Albert has some kind of obsessive passion for Favio. What did Favio do to him? No more than twenty minutes pass after Favio's name is mentioned, and you're already here with the same, repetitive text.

and you're right behind me?)
It's just a coincidence, believe me.

and you're following?

Yes, I'm here, and I'm watching the entire forum, wherever I find it interesting. I don't understand why you're surprised; I just comment when something seems funny. You haven't seen me in topics that aren't related to "Favio," so that's what's surprising.

good... he was deceiving people I respect – is the reason clear?

Albert, here you go, buddy!

By the way, was Disquared2 also him? Sorry for the off-topic.

Great idea. I'm in.

In the spring, I participated as a spectator at a LAN event held here: http://www.flash-back.ru/ (location on the map: http://goo.gl/maps/SX24h).
The club has 65 computers, a bar, and even a small kitchenette. However, I'm not sure about their streaming capabilities.
In principle, if this format suits you, you can inquire about the cost and conditions.

Kakhovka is a bit far away; there are many clubs in the center, and I don't think there will be any problems with them. The most important thing is who will take on the organization of this event.

It is quite possible to fit a full-fledged tournament into 2-3 days; it's like wearing shoes that are a size too small.

Blitz tournament (8+4+1) – possible. The others are not.
