[HoMM3 on-line Tournaments] "Favorites to Battle"

... the verdict in the game dudge vs vitalic has already been given by judge vbn in favor of dudge...

That's right, the verdict in the game Dudge vs vitalic was made in favor of Dudge.
And the result can be recorded in the ranking table for the current season.

However, it is not possible to count this game as part of the "Favorites Battle" tournament because:

1) the final game was played at a time when the final itself had not yet begun; at that moment, Dudge did not have "formal finalist status";

2) ... here we encountered a situation not described in the rules.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, within the framework of this tournament, we still have 2 games ahead:
1. Dudge - vitalic (rematch).
2. Dudge - Uran (why use tech skills, maybe you will play after all).
