Siberian qualifier.

Hello everyone! After returning from Barnaul, I decided to describe my impressions. On the 3rd, we set off. Lyokha picked me up in a car full of people. These were Logistic and Van with his wife. We started our journey. Along the way, we got to know each other and talked about various topics. Around 6 PM local time, we arrived in Barnaul. It turned out that we had been scammed with the apartments, so we looked at a hotel and decided it wasn't an option. We quickly called Alessandro, who met the second group (Valenok and Deep Mike) and was already looking for apartments. Soon, we found a place, and we just needed to find the right address. We all met near the house, where we also got to know each other and decided not to waste time and go straight to the store. We bought supplies and went to the apartment. The apartment made a good impression, although in some places it was clear that it had been rented out very often and not very carefully :D. We set up and immediately started talking. During the gathering, we discussed the rules and drew lots. I ended up playing against Mike in the first round. :smile54: After sitting for a while (until about 4 AM), we went to sleep. In the morning, we woke up and went to a club, where Alessandro was already waiting for us, setting up TE-light. We took our computers, chatted, and started. I was against Mike, Van against Alessandro, and Valenok against Logistic. Dust was waiting for Nikolai, who, after drinking some vodka in the evening, left and, as it turned out later, for a long time... :D The atmosphere in the club was calm, but then some CS fans started showing up, and it became a bit crowded. About the game: Deep_Mike (Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Dirty_Player (Tower, Neela, Neela) 2sm4d(3) 216 We started with a swamp against a castle. We used all the restarts. In one case, we even had to cancel a great generation due to a TE bug (0 skeletons appeared in Mike's stack, and the game kept crashing when hovering over that hero :mad:). The next round was acceptable. A small respawn point. There are 2 clues and a hidden den of gremlins. But there is really little money. I gathered 40 gems (I'm thinking about titans :smile41:). Also, in the first week, I made it to the Inferno secondary mine, where I found two life rings next to each other, and the scouting taken at the respawn point showed a treasure chest where a health potion was located :eek:!! Towards the end of the week, I spoiled the situation by ambushing a group of war dogs and losing 49 gremlins. :mad: In the second week, I bought some nagas and golems and went to capture the clues. Neela got ranged attack and repelled arrows from angelic feathers. I took the second clue and went to the Inferno to replenish mana. At the beginning of the third week, I went to the treasure chest with the goal of reaching the health potion. I repelled a unicorn detachment of 30 efreets, and interesting thoughts appeared when I got 20 snipers in the Pandora. :smile51: In general, the treasure chest was of a fantastic size. About 1/3 of the size of the above-ground part of the map! There were many clues there, and I decided to hang out there for a looooong time!! :cool: But there were many clues, but not much use... 4-6 wyverns :( In the tavern, Tazar appears with parameters that say, "I took a utopia and will tear everything up here now." But I couldn't be torn away from the treasure chest. In the fourth week, Tazar beats 50-99 wizards in the Grand Order and, for experience, took 20-49 chaos hydras, stopping two squares away from my capital... Understanding that it is already in the past, I decided to go to the bubble to the bitter end!! In addition, a book of air was spotted! I lost count of how many minimum hives I passed along the way. :smile11: My army already consisted of wyverns, snipers, hobbits, gremlins, and mages. Suddenly, I unexpectedly find a bow that was missing for assembling the LS!!!!!! :cool: I take a hidden den of snipers and a couple more Pandora boxes for snipers, totaling 50 of them (with LS, the damage there is deadly). I see 2 utopias, but I can't decide whether to take them with arrows :mad: In the refugee camp, I find an Archangel, who helps to speed things up. At the beginning of the 5th week, I finally reach the life flask and collect the Elixir. Neela, as soon as she entered the treasure chest, collected 24 levels + expert log + spagois there. Meanwhile, Tazar, with indecent parameters, didn't sleep and ate all my castles. And I took the book of air and found a well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything would be great, but there is not much time left to live. I had to take the secondary mine and sit there, hoping that mega-Tazar wouldn't reach it. He didn't reach it. Neela flew away and took 2 utopias, one even at maximum level. There are no castles again, and I have to repeat the same maneuver. But this time, Tazar had gloves and reached a little further and, just as he attacked Neela... In the final battle, with approximately equal combat parameters, something like 26-28 for Tazar and 18-36 for Neela, 79 upgraded wyverns left no chance for anyone!!!! Even 44 wyverns of Neela with 91 HP. In general, Tazar unexpectedly got the better of me, otherwise, I would have been running and running there. Thank you, Mikhail, for the game! It was very interesting to play with a living legend! The continuation will follow!!!!;)

P.S.: There will be a LOT of photos!!!!!!
