I'd follow Captain Sticky through fire and water!

I'm rooting for the Sticky/Just/Watya team.

Sticky, have some mercy on Tanya, she's in worse shape than you are...

I'm rooting for the Stiky/Just/Vatya team.

Who would let you into the 3rd tier? ^^ But otherwise, I'm all for it.

If I were moved to the third one, I would support it.

explain to me why this is nonsense?

Because 2-2-2 (considering that the top 3 is equal to the 2nd tier, and you definitely can't be placed in the bottom 3 by skill, IMHO).

To Dirty: you really don't understand the essence of the argument. Anyone can organize a Tournament with any rules. When a person creates it, they are based on their own views, vision of the Tournament format. You can give advice, but only in a recommendatory form, but you don't need to so brazenly impose your point of view. If your advice is suitable for the Tournament – okay, if not – learn to accept it calmly without unnecessary shouting and don't impose it. Why did you get so worked up and keep pointing out that it's wrong because we're going to play according to this regulation and not yours? I don't interfere in your Tournaments, I don't tell you how you should do it, and I don't point out that you're wrong if, in my opinion, it would be better to do it differently...

Do you even realize that when drawing up the regulations, it is impossible to determine the correctness in the context of your dispute? You can want to play with tiers, or without, you can choose captains, or determine all tiers by rating, you can have transfers, or without, you can have a random draw, or based on the principle of summing up the ratings of players from weakest to strongest, you can have groups + Olympic system, or playoffs. There are no such distinctions of right and wrong here. It all depends on the individual views of the Tournament organizers and what they want to implement. And the participants read and choose whether to play or not. That's all.

There is no talk of rightness, but of the fact that, as an organizer, I see this format as acceptable for its implementation. I have heard all the statements, many of which do not suit me because you have a completely different vision. And the difference mainly lies in the fact that you don't understand sports at all (let's skip chess), but on the contrary, I am very close to it in life and in my interests.

The system of distributing participants into tiers is a generally accepted practice in the world. All ratings in sports also do not always show the real strength of players (but the whole sports world follows them), because all ratings are obtained only from sports results, based on mathematical formulas. In our rating, games in the season and Tournaments are also included, and to refuse it or disown it is a wild misconception of your old-fashioned views.

It's time to stop with the subjective determination of the strength of players.

Recruiting players into tiers is a professional approach to the chosen Competitive event, because the recruitment takes place in a strict sequence and with a fair, open, and transparent form of team determination. Fairness is subjective here, but the subject of evaluation is the RATING, based on past achievements.

I won't argue anymore and it's time to stop cluttering up the topic with the same old arguments.

Today at 21 Moscow time, team recruitment in Skype

Sticky, you are a strong player that can compete among the captains. Just dont run these unnessesary risks and you will be fine. As a captain you just need to pick your team and after that you play as any other player.

According to Interfax, on September 13th, a contract was signed between Chemist_HP and Palach HP, resulting in the exchange of players marajan for YaR.
The players' salaries were not disclosed.

The team selection is complete. The following teams have been formed: Now it's time for transfers. September 14, 2014 - September 17, 2014. For a transfer to occur, both captains of the two teams must indicate their agreement on the exchange in the forum. Each team can make 1 transfer. The players being exchanged must be from the same tier. During the transfers, I hope for creativity from the captains and their teams. Let's create symbols, mottos, and names for our teams. A good example is last year's tournament: /topic/at/680467/ P.S. For those teams that are having trouble with Photoshop, just find any image online that suits your team; Roger and I will edit it and resize it for the table.

Indeed, the negotiations took place in a friendly atmosphere, and both parties were satisfied with the outcome of the deal.

Team selection completed. The following teams were formed:

I predict that Bishop's team will win for the second time in a row.

Yeah, overall, the lineup is a bit stronger than the others: Bishop and Maretti have a slight edge in their class compared to the rest, and Diabler shows decent results in tournaments, although I would pick someone else as the first pick, plus it's not the weakest pick from the third tier.

Stiki assembled a dream team. It was amusing when he was picking in the third round and said, "Whatever, I'll take the Wizard." :D :D :D :D Mark now definitely needs to change his nickname. I'm completely satisfied with my team. I suggest that all captains confirm to the organizer that there will be no more transfers (or if there are, they should hurry up with them), so we can start earlier.

+ let's have the draw :D

Stiky assembled a dream team. It was funny when he was picking the third tier and said, "Whatever, I'll take the Mage" :D :D :D :D. Mark now definitely has to change his nickname.

There's no need to laugh at the invincible armada! We'll tear them apart like a hundred!
Stiky didn't have a choice for the second pick; maybe Simon is slightly stronger. For the third, I would have taken u2nub, then Uara, then Blud or Kashchei.
Bishop has a good team; Maretti (although probably without a third hero), they assembled Lizard, Toganash, Aive, and probably Ze quite well.
But the game will decide everything!
P.S. It's clear that having the best players on the first and second tiers, with 3 players on the team, the teams from the top of the table should have had an advantage.

I am completely satisfied with my team. I suggest that all captains confirm to the organizer that there will be no more transfers (or if there are, they should hurry up with them), so we can start earlier.

+please provide the draw:p

And I predict that all the “predictors” will fail miserably :D
