[ТУРНИР-HotA] Hard Choice

The most intense match with a strong advantage for the opponent throughout the entire game. I was down to 0 on 117 vs 35 gr. of wood, having killed 34. At the end of the fight, my 11 Marksmen had no shots left against 1 piece of wood, so I had to flee. On 121, I bought 3 horses and with full mana at Elshar went to kill the pink Castle, as well as reclaim resources and mines. I took another 2 horses from the computer. In a Conflux village around 125, I got Resurrection on the first try, and that saved me from total disaster. I started taking objects, rebuilt Town Portal on the 3rd attempt. Dimension Door was not granted for a very long time; on 135 or 136, the opponent attacked me at the gates of my capital. Kirri had everything needed for victory except the Bracers. I managed to make some trade-off before the buyout thanks to Pap's Mass Forgetfulness in the 1st round, leaving the fearsome Cyclopes and Kirri's Grands out of action. From control, I also had Wings from the Dragon Utopia, with which I flew to the nearest treasure zone in the swamp, where I found 2 Dragon Utopias that gave me a bunch of stats, as well as КЗ and КО. The Conflux village with the tower was taken from me. At the computer, I built Archangels, and with 1 speed, 42 spell power, and 1000+ mana, I could handle any final fight. Meanwhile, the opponent vastly outmatched me in map control (Dimension Door vs his lack of it, after all), but at one point he got tilted and surrendered, saying he didn't want to play a bo3 and was passing me through. No hard feelings, "everything comes with experience." Thanks for the game!

p.s. A very illustrative game in terms of the advantages of HotA over SOD. With the Cube of Summoning, I wouldn't have had even a theoretical chance of winning; the difference in experience and practice would have been irrelevant.
