In everything :)

I wrote about this to you in the neighboring topic. Now, over 100 people play in online tournaments. Therefore, people are not ready to spend 50,000 rubles on a trip just to play Heroes! But you keep talking about Krasnodar... And about 2004.

I can't even imagine, in modern realities, how much time it would take to play a tournament with 50 people.

Either ban me or don't interfere. :smile13:

I'll post Korolev's application soon, and we can discuss it.

and what should you do then? buy tickets at the last minute, when it becomes clear where all the fish will go?) :D

Are we having a schism? What's going on? :confused: :confused: :confused:

And who is the financial guarantor? Vigo? :smile13:

Instead of a full-fledged major tournament, we get three small ones with 10 people each.

Konstantin, it's not a given.
It's more likely that there will be 10 people in Volgograd: for holding a tournament in a 3-player format, it might even be good, but considering what the organizers and inspirers of Volgograd are offering, it's a disaster, as the Germans say...

P.S. And why do you think Volgograd is expensive? Can you provide examples, a comparison in terms of the level of the hotel stock, etc.?

Yeah, Community, it's not working out very well; it's not cohesive, not friendly, and our community, which used to be strong, is fading away and breaking up into separate groups. Instead of one full-fledged CIS Championship, where all players, fans of Heroes, and viewers should gather, everyone is scattering to different places "according to their interests." And the worst thing is that the organizers suddenly decided to hold their own events on the same dates, just to spite each other.

Now that we have so many organizers appearing out of nowhere, and they all want to hold offline Tournaments, why don't they hold regional qualifiers for the CIS Championship, as they wanted to do before? What's the problem? Why ruin the wonderful traditions and break up our established celebration!? I, for example, want to see everyone and the best players all in one place, as it was before.

I already wrote about this, I won't repeat myself.

Lesha, what kind of qualifying tournaments are these? People simply don't have the money, or they're holding qualifying tournaments with large entry fees so that the winners can travel at the expense of the losers, but that's not a great idea...
And again, it's all about spite... My tournament is for those who CANNOT come to this CIS event for some reason.

Lesha, that's how it used to be. We held qualifying tournaments in different cities, each was given three places, and the finalists themselves decided where to play the final and on which version: we didn't favor anyone based on past achievements, 1 point or 4, one person - one vote. And it was the finalists, the best players in the CIS, who voted.

Roman, you could add a bit and, instead of going to "Peter," you could participate in a CIS event in Volgograd, not for the entire duration, but just for a few days. I don't know what your reasons are, but it used to be like that! There were no alternatives; everyone went to the main event, and if they couldn't afford it, they would "make do" with gatherings in their local area, but on different dates.
