Thank you to Eric for hosting and for the tournament. Everything went, as always, at the highest level; say what you will, Eric is a brilliant organizer! The night from Saturday to Sunday was wild; vodka flowed like a river, in the literal sense of the word :). I don't remember falling asleep, nor do I remember waking up. I only came to my senses sitting on a chair in the club, playing against Matroskin.
As for the games — the first match was with Tema: I was Castle, Tema was Stronghold. Grindan decided it, arriving on the second week, having leveled Earth to Expert and taken a level 3 Griffin Conservatory on day 123. After that, I leveled warriors in parallel, so Sorcha became the main hero and reached my opponent on week 3; Tema surrendered.
In the second match against Matrosov, we played Inferno vs Inferno. Gunnar came, found a passage presumably to the opponent's respawn on a secondary hero, built Efreets with a Citadel on week 1, advanced Magogs with growth on the secondary week, and at the start of week 2 captured the Golden Bow. With 37 Magogs, 37 Gogs, and the rest, I broke through the passage and took the opponent's castle, killing the growth along the way. Matrosov ran around a bit more and then performed a heroic seppuku — eliminated himself.
In the match against Skorp, we played Conflux vs Necropolis. Grindan came, with a level 2 Griffin Conservatory at spawn, Boots of Speed, Gloves of the Master Necromancer; I built Psychic Elementals in the Citadel, captured the second Conservatory, and also bought Crag Hack, whom I started leveling in pathfinding. Crag Hack leveled excellently, and Grindan was also doing well. On day 131, with 2 weeks' worth of troops plus 7 Angels and 16 Wyverns, I break through the GO (Psychic Elementals + Thunderbirds) almost without losses using Crag Hack with Mass Slow, capture the Necropolis, and a day later catch up to Galthran with 4 Angels, 20 Wyverns, and 300+ Skeletons. Despite Galthran's 17 Defense, he had no chance, as he only had 8 mana, and I cast Mass Slow on the first turn.
I was glad to meet old good friends and also to get acquainted with new ones!

I'm racking my brains over how you managed to wake up the locked-in Stinger :).
If it's not a secret, where did I lock myself in, and from whom?
