‼️Answer to the question regarding the start terms of the <>: the second stage begins after the completion of the first, which included searching for an organizer from the respective country, establishing contacts, invitations, and confirmation of participation. After this, a conference was formed in Discord for communication and relevant announcements were published. 🔸The second stage has now been launched, aimed at collecting information about the composition of participants and photos for the creation of preliminary materials and possible additions, similar to those demonstrated in the video. 🔹The next, third stage is the completion of current events. This is followed by the fourth stage, during which discussions on the timing of the games will begin, taking into account the opinions of all participating teams. Regarding further additions, I always try, if possible, to write a post (news) and notify everyone, so, dear viewers - everything in its own time!) 🤝With respect, Sonik.

Not long ago, I was in touch with ToD; we periodically discuss 2x2, various tournaments, and the Warcraft III scene in general. I remembered that Krav is in France, so I decided to first ask ToD what he thought about the French national team participating in the tournament and how his own schedule looked for the near future. He shared his plans, mentioning that unfortunately he is very busy, and immediately recommended I write to Krav, which I did. After that, I became interested in studying the French Warcraft III community more deeply: who is currently active there, whether there are internal tournaments and events, and how alive their scene is overall. While searching for information, I accidentally stumbled upon a Twitch channel called FrenchcraftTV. Upon entering, I was surprised to find that they were hosting an internal tournament for French players at that very moment. I hesitated for quite a while about whether to write during the stream, as I didn't want to distract people from the broadcast, but I eventually decided to send a direct message with a brief description of my proposal. Simultaneously, I wrote in the chat asking them to check my DM when they had free time, while I started looking for their Discord server to try and discuss the idea of the national team's participation in more detail. And right here, a whole new world literally began for me. The Twitch channel description contained all the necessary links, which greatly facilitated the task. Entering Discord, I started studying their community and trying to figure out who might be the person responsible for assembling the team. At the same time, I began checking their Twitter, community website, and other resources. The more I studied, the more amazed I became: they had a full-fledged website for their Warcraft III community, several divisions for players, their own rankings, streams, and a huge amount of information. Several hundred people were online in Discord simultaneously, which looks very impressive for Warcraft III nowadays. The presence of a country's player leaderboard and all this organization was particularly striking—it was clear that people were investing a tremendous amount of time and effort into developing their community. It didn't take an hour before a representative from France wrote to me, and we discussed the possible tournament invite in quite some detail. He asked for a little time to think everything over, while I continued to study their streams, tournaments, and the entire structure of the French scene. Then, unexpectedly for myself, I discovered that, if I understood correctly, it was precisely this community that organized Warcraft 3 Nations League 1 and 2, where a fairly large number of teams participated. This made a very strong impression on me and became an excellent example of how to develop a national Warcraft III community. At that moment, I even caught myself thinking that I definitely need to adopt some of this experience and try to do something similar in the future, and perhaps even better. After some time, the French representative informed me that they were ready to participate in the tournament and would provide the remaining information soon. This, of course, was very pleasing and added even more motivation to continue the organization. I would like to wish the French team a great performance, and for myself, I just need to wait for a response from one more national team and gradually move on to the next stage of tournament preparation.
