2018 FIFA World Cup Prediction Contest

I'm feeling quite sentimental today. I want to say a few words about the contest winner. He doesn't know me, but I've heard about him for a very long time. Back in the early 2000s, when I didn't have a proper internet connection and only played Heroes against the computer, a friend brought me text files from the FidoNet conference (it was a network, a substitute for the internet, few people remember it now). They contained reports from St. Petersburg championships in Heroes by someone called Lord Maniac (aka Vitaly Nesterenko, by the way, where is he now?). He organized tournaments in clubs, judged them himself, and wrote detailed reports on each game. Back then, they played with 4-minute timer fixes, and random maps were considered the domain of noobs and unintelligent players (:-)), but that's not important now. So, the constant hero in those reports was "Lord Antal" (that's what Maniac called him). He was a multiple-time winner. What a surprise it was for me, after so many years, to end up on the Heroes Community Vault and find out that it's HIM! So, Antal is not just the winner of the prediction contest for me; if Gomunguls and FTS are today's Messi and Ronaldo in Heroes, then Antal is Pelé! :)
