The tournament has its pros and cons. The advantages, for example, include the fact that, firstly, the tournament is located in a new location. It's always interesting, something new. Secondly, there is better internet in this location - for playing Dota at least. And in this location the computers turned out to be much better than last year.

There are also disadvantages, but I don’t like to whine. I'll focus on the good. Okay, there is one really big drawback - the toilet is super far from practical use. This is not normal at all. This is the only thing.

[How do you like the practicals? ] Yes, practical as practical. I played in a computer club in my life. Basically, like in a computer club. Well, the sky is open - even better, there is more air. And it's so stuffy. Overall ok. But the toilet is far away - this is a minus.
