It's this time of the year again!

Tune in at twitch.tv/the__tourist at around 21:45 MSK, 21 Aug 2020 to watch me solving SnarkNews Summer Series 2020 Round 1 live! First I will do the round competitively without much interaction, and I'll be up for discussing the problems on stream afterwards.

SnarkNews Winter/Summer Series (SNWS/SNSS) is organized by snarknews yearly and consists of 5 rounds. Each round is a virtual 6-problem 80-minute contest open for 10 days. The series is open to all, but problem statements are in Russian only. Unlike last series, I'll be reading problem statements automatically translated to English on stream.

To make the stream more fun and for easier understanding of what will be going on, you're welcome to do the round yourself beforehand! If you don't understand Russian, you can also compete using automatic translators. Alternatively, you may just read the problems without solving them. In any case, don't discuss the problems in Codeforces comments before the round window ends.

Tentative schedule of future streams:

• Round 2 (contest link): 21:45 MSK, 25 Aug 2020
• Round 3 (contest link): 21:45 MSK, 5 Sep 2020
• Round 4 (contest link): 21:45 MSK, 7 Sep 2020
• Round 5 (contest link): 21:45 MSK, 9 Sep 2020

I might be streaming at other times too, so be sure to follow me on Twitch and get instant notifications.

See you on stream!
