Posts from Post-tournament analysis and discussion of the CIS Tournament Regulations.

If we consider the previous CIS tournament, as a person without bad habits, I found it not very pleasant to be in the atmosphere that was there, namely: the room where the tournament was held was closed and not even ventilated, and it smelled of alcohol and cigarettes + drunken songs and other similar things...

Initially, tournaments of this format were held in clubs, but then participants began to value comfort more, plus the "club atmosphere" is not very conducive for spectators. Regarding drunken people, this already depends solely on upbringing; some allow themselves alcohol in moderation, while others come to breakfast with a bottle of vodka... Every time I organize the Siberian Championship, I encounter such lovers of "drinking a couple of liters to celebrate," and because of this, I no longer want to hold live tournaments. Another option is to introduce a stop-list for some people and simply ban them from coming to tournaments.

I'd like to respond with your own words: "You're not hearing what's being said." ;)

You're right to some extent about the "harmful habits," and both Merlin and I have already outlined our points for the future.

But when you talk about "atmosphere," you only seem to focus on the negative!

I, on the other hand, mean, and wrote about above, a good, friendly atmosphere where old friends meet after a long period, are happy to see each other, chat, joke, and talk about how the year has been, not in forum posts, but in person, discussing the game and so on! This kind of atmosphere is present at every CIS event, but you're fixated on Merlin's photos and "dirty socks" – yes, Merlin is like that, he showed everything, including not-so-pleasant moments, as I see it. But there's much more positivity and good stuff, and that's what we should focus on first!

So, who's against it? I'm saying that this is also important – a friendly atmosphere, communication, and humor, etc. But this needs to be separated from the tournament itself. In the game room – the game; outside the room – all other activities.

You're probably too naive. In any discipline (tennis, boxing, football, etc.), at any level (even up to world championships), match-fixing occurs. Should we stop watching sports altogether now? If two players want to achieve the same result (it doesn't matter at what stage the deal takes place), it's impossible to stop them. The problem is that if you're already resorting to crime, it's not necessary to shout about it from the rooftops.

I thought and thought and came up with an excuse for myself: I didn't drink at all for the first three days of the tournament, not even a sip of beer. Because I came to the tournament (from another country) with only one goal.

That's a good comparison. But in sports, proven match-fixing results in a lengthy disqualification and the revocation of all awards. For example, Juventus was stripped of three titles and relegated to Serie B. But what about here?

What about respect for the opponents who tried hard, sweated, but didn't buy advantages? Come on, this is a fun tournament; no one will give you anything for winning it.
You can't understand Russia with your mind:confused:

Come to Minsk and take the cup (or, rather, try to).

They didn't have any players in their bracket who had nothing to lose. The probability that I would play in the 2nd round against one of the losers, and that it would be my friend and roommate, was 1 in 1000+. And in any other situation, there couldn't have been any "fun" games. First, you should at least understand the situation by 30% before writing nonsense. It all came down to a joke about "the first told the second - 'Pushkin was walking with a girl,' the thirty-first told the thirty-second - 'Gogol was eating bricks.'"

...and your reputation as a player went down the drain.

To immediately dismiss all sorts of speculation, there will be no review of the CIS2016 results!

There are many ways – merge into a stalemate, sabotage a player during a rush, attack a Grand Order with a misclick, etc. The worst thing about collusion in the early stages of a tournament is the publicity.

As for the game, there wasn't any problem at all: the enemy units were standing in battle and doing nothing while being shot at by the marksmen...

...and when the Marksmen ran out of ammunition, they gathered the arrows and brought them back so the Marksmen could shoot some more.
