New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?

Let me tell you about the dendroid club myself, because it seems you've forgotten what happened in Krasnodar in 2004. Alan organized a welcome banquet, a poker game, and excursions. So, is Andre also a pseudo-champion?
And the fact that you won't be going has been clear for a long time.
Do you want to compare Andre to the current champion? I can't imagine Andre telling Flam or Lord Dim in Krasnodar, "Let me win, and I'll give you money." And Alan Prost managed to arrange for all the strongest players of that time to participate – Chaos, Bishop, Andre, Phil, Joker, Pes, Antal, Dim, Fedor, Vasya, the Belarusian brothers DDD with WWW, they all came. Stinger hadn't become a father yet, and Bayazet and AlexGreat also rose to prominence later. He gathered all the best players in the country because they knew that he would not only organize a fun event but also a tournament at the highest level.
P.S. I will definitely go to Королев, even if it's in 2018.
Eric, you're stuck in 2004. You need to understand that back then, there wasn't online play as we know it. So, gathering players for tournaments wasn't a problem. Now it's 2017, 13 years have passed. People have already played against each other online, everyone knows each other. Now it's very difficult to make people come somewhere "just to play Heroes." There aren't huge prizes in Heroes tournaments, just for the sake of which people would travel. Now, people who spend money want to get something more out of it than just sitting in front of a computer and playing Heroes, while others do the same at home. Before, some people would travel to watch top players play live, but now there's no need for that either; everything is available on streams. But you apparently don't understand that, because it was so cool in 2004...

You definitely went to St. Petersburg. :rolleyes:
Here we reached an agreement, and on this optimistic note, I will allow myself to say goodbye, as I have already written quite a lot.
I understand that I'm not familiar with most of the players, but I'll still chime in. I get the impression that the organizers don't want to popularize this wonderful game, but rather want to gather in a group of 10 people at a base and get drunk. And, frankly, after reading your forum, I imagine you all beating each other up during a face-to-face meeting after a few shots. I didn't expect that, and everyone seemed like serious people. You've made a MESS out of this event.:confused:
First of all, I need to thank the moderators, there are many of them, but they were passive and didn't stop the spam and chaos in the early stages, when it was easy to shut down the troublemaker and prevent all the threads about the CIS region from turning into a platform for expressing opinions.
Actually, kabzonn, all those "inadequate people who could meet and beat each other up" probably just won't be able to gather in one place in real life, so don't worry! And as a result, Alexxl will try to make something good out of the event; I hope it will be no worse than what he managed to do in 2015!!
If people argue with each other in a civilized manner, it's not right for the moderator to delete their posts. Over the entire period of discussions, Dirty and I have deleted maybe 20 posts – where there was unfiltered swearing, the rest was quite within the limits of censorship.
Guys, how are you planning on arranging accommodation? It's really expensive to pay for a room that fits 3-4 people alone, or do you plan to rent larger cabins and transfer the money in advance? And generally, how does it usually work?

It was amusing to see screenshots from my stream. This is a classic case of taking quotes out of context. I later discussed the CIS region with Vitya, with our people, and I am personally ready to come to Kyiv, even if not for the entire tournament, but for a few days for sure. Yes, I have plans for May, and they have been in the works for a long time, family plans. So, from my side, it was a vote for what is convenient for me. There is no need to try to put on a sour face when the game is bad.
P.S. Good luck to everyone in the CIS! Peace.
