[DUEL TOURNAMENT] Reports from the "Snowstorm" matches.

Dr Motor (Nature) def. snaiper133 (Barbarian) 2:0 So, we played the first match of the final. I chose Nature, and my opponent chose Barbarians. In my opinion, two of the most evenly matched factions met on the arena. In the first battle, I brought Phoenixes, Manticores, and gathered all the Unicorns, dividing them into two groups in the ratio of an attacking stack and a "meat shield" stack for blinding:D (32 and 10, I think). And I also brought Fairies. My opponent brought a more impressive army - I was even a little scared at first - Birds, Cyclops, Harpies. The battle started with me trying to figure out what to do with the Cyclops and Birds - and the Druid summoned a Water Elemental on the first turn to create confusion. They didn't see the Cyclops, but they did see the Birds... however, the Water Elemental did its job. Then, my opponent gave me complete control over his stacks - he sent absolutely everyone forward, including the Cyclops. And my Phoenixes and Fairies blocked the Cyclops, and the Phoenixes fell there. The Manticores also darted around the battlefield. At the same time, I protected my heroes with everything I could. As a result, when my opponent's hero reached the front line of my troops, the Unicorns, under the effect of Dragon's Might, killed him in a few rounds, and he had nothing left to do but stand there. All this time, my hero was shooting down the Cyclops. The Druid summoned creatures - mainly Manticores. After the hero was defeated (a lot of effort was put into taking him down), only one Unicorn remained in the "meat" stack... but it was enough to fulfill its purpose - the Birds (18 of them) were blinded! That's basically how it ended - the attacking stack of Unicorns and the summoned 6 Manticores, under the effect of Dragon's Might, tore apart everything they could. The first battle was very interesting. In the second battle, I brought Phoenixes, Unicorns (also, two stacks), and Elves to cause fatigue, because if it weren't for them, more than 30 Birds under the Tactician would have decided everything very quickly. And Fairies to block the Cyclops. My opponent brought the same composition, but in a larger quantity and with more aggressive heroes:D. In the first two rounds, all efforts were focused on killing the Cyclops and the Tactician hero, which was successful. Then, my opponent decided not to play, because in his opinion, the outcome of the battle was clear. Besides, Snaiper was in a hurry. To be fair, I was late for the game (I overslept, damn:D), so I offered to save the battle and play it later - my opponent refused. Thank you for the game, it was very interesting, and I look forward to the second game.
