Favorites, to battle! - 11 - The Battle of Favorites! - 11

The game became a matter of survival for me, as Tant was rushing to kill me at full speed at the start of week 4 (this is already the second time in this tournament—the first was Tvaryna with archs on 133 and Air control). But something went wrong with the opponent's scouting, and to my great relief, my main wasn't taken. This gave me time to accumulate a few devils using an external dwelling by the town, and level up supports to get DD and TP in the guild; I developed them quickly thanks to Flux. The opponent's army was larger throughout the entire game. Especially a huge amount of bones. Therefore, my only option for fighting here was to win through map control. Which is ultimately what happened. Because there were 4 heroes with full control, later all with 2 DD. This allowed me to catch the opponent's first support, Septien. True, I lost Saira myself, but she returned to me later. After the lost war of supports, especially the loss of Tant, the game went in my favor. I was busy demoning with elixirs (300 pieces, half the meat not converted), recruiting, and had a Kaslov village in the underworld with an external portal (accumulated 25+ archs); there were also about 16 archids and 10 titans. With all this and AOTD under KS, I was almost ready to deliver the final blow to 100+ monarchs and a legion of nearly 4k bones. But after a save, due to the hopelessness of the match, the opponent concedes victory to me. The 15-hour marathon is over, as is the group stage itself. I breathed a sigh of relief. Inhale-exhale. Moving on.
Thanks for the game!
PS: I hope there will be slightly fewer tempo Tants against me in the future :D
