This time, the bracket turned out to be quite balanced. There are a couple of serious matchups that are already set for the round of 8, but most of the interesting games will take place in the quarterfinals. Havr had the worst luck – he'll have a tough time already in the round of 16, and Matthew will be waiting for him even further down the line. Shnurov doesn't have it easy either – he'll face Camoes in the round of 8. Although, perhaps the newcomer will give him a run for his money, but I wouldn't want that to happen.
A good matchup is also shaping up between Strannik and Kavaler, but I would still bet on Strannik. :-[

Zybr (Death) def. RionPaladin (Order) — Bizzaro, 146
It seems I was the first to finish my game. :) The game as a whole wasn't too difficult, and I definitely still need to improve. I got lucky in several moments during the game. First, I found two champion lairs and a devil lair. Second, neither of the enemy's prisons had lords guarding them. Third, at the end, I found gloves and two additional devils in the cacti. I played cautiously, without taking unnecessary risks. First, I scouted in all directions and determined the best course of action. I decided not to spend money on scrolls and extra movement, and instead, I placed devils on day 5. I moved slowly because my scout wasn't leveling up at all – I almost reached the end of the game with only the first level of scouting, until I maxed out the Death skill.))) Of the more or less serious or at least average battles, I would mention taking the devil lair at the end of the first week. I lost a couple of heroes there, but I kept all the venom units just in case. After that, it was easy, but I didn't rush to level up to level 4 for a long time. I focused on tactics. At the beginning of the third week, I finally decided to break through to level 4, gathering 4+3 devils and 2 champions. I managed to win the first battle against 6 champions and 15 venom units with difficulty, barely making it. After that, I felt more confident. The viewers already saw what happened next. I collected some artifacts, and with the help of the venom units, I broke through the guard tower, the thief's hideout, and the magic garden, thereby earning enough money to buy the Helmet of Power and the key to the portal, which significantly improved my movement. This led me directly to the second champion lair. I collected everything that was there (at the top). I gathered some spells and moved towards my opponent. I killed his sentinel gnome with a devil, then used a potion of endurance to reach his army on the same day. The final battle wasn't very successful. After the battle, my opponent conceded. Thank you to him for the game.

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
