Posts from CIS-2014 in Minsk.

It's time to write down my impressions of the meeting. As always, the company was great; I was very glad to see old friends and meet new ones (JustObserver, Browser, Twaryna's dad, and HW legend vbn). At the end, I really didn't want to leave, but all good things must come to an end sooner or later—though it leaves a desire for more and more meetings!

The base was good, regardless of what anyone says: fresh air, forest, a gorgeous conference hall (IMHO the best of all champs), billiards, tennis, football, plus a cafeteria right next door. Everything needed for proper leisure.

The Tournament went well; there were no major issues with refereeing, only some VT glitches, but it seems that can only be fixed by changing the version. We made it within the time limits, but barely)))) I won't name the reasons, but I think this is a serious reason for the CIS-15 organizers to reflect.

I played okay myself: won 3 games and lost 1 to the pro Stinger)))) Artyom did great; he played worthily and fairly earned his victory. For which I congratulate him once again :) But I also hope that next time the cup will actually head to Siberia!!

Minsk was a real pleasure. A beautiful and pleasant city. The cleanliness is a joy to see! Only the last taxi driver marred the perfect picture. (Though Diman Sheva could tell you even wilder stories about taxi drivers :D )

A huge thank you to everyone for the company. Huge thanks to Lizard for the organization. Thanks to Merlin for an excellent performance as the host. Thanks to Dust for the photos. Thanks to Just and Twaryna for the streams. Everyone who participated and helped—well done!!

CIS-15 for St. Petersburg! The weather doesn't scare me; I've wanted to break in there for a long time! I believe the guys there will make it so that it suits us perfectly!!!

And of course, we look forward to having you visit us ;) Siberia Championship 15 SHALL HAPPEN!!!! :smile49:

I uploaded a save file for the Heroes Tournament, a save file for WТ.

Just to make the Minsk prices seem like a small expense :D

A hostel is an option.

Yeah, live in a hostel, play there too, with laptops on your knees :D

You can also do it without laptops :)

You can bring more than just laptops :)

Exactly, bring your desktop computers, and we'll provide monitors on site.

You're thinking in the wrong direction ;-)

You're not thinking in the right direction.

After that phrase about the hostel, there's no room for thought anymore.

What hostel are you talking about? Are you kidding me? :D CIS is not just about playing Heroes, it's also about having a full-fledged vacation (although after such a vacation, you need another vacation). The bar has been set high, so each subsequent organizer must maintain the standard and strive to surpass it :)

After that phrase about the hostel, I can't think straight anymore :)

You can also play at the train station in the waiting room – it's cheap and cheerful, as an alternative to a hostel :D

Whoever arrives at which train station, that’s where they’ll play. Some will play at the airport. :D

Just an idea, by the way) :smile08:

I join in all the congratulations! Stinger is great :smile49:, Lizard is great, and even Merlin is great :)
The base was pleasant to look at, the nature, the air, and the rabbits were delightful. The conference hall with its possibilities was excellent, if not perfect. However, the "warm" rooms and the opportunity to "warm up in the shower" completely ruin the comfort of staying in Odessa and even Yekaterinburg.
The city itself is magnificent with its cleanliness, greenery, and roads - no matter how much people complain about the roads in Minsk, you simply haven't been to Samara :smile04:. Despite having almost 2 million inhabitants, there is no feeling of overcrowding, the traffic jams are small, the metro is not crowded, and even the airport was empty 2 days before the hockey game...
The championship itself was, as always, fun, exciting, with interesting matches, a positive atmosphere, and drunken Heroes players) Thank you all, I was glad to see everyone!
