Well, I looked at the save files. That battle against the gnolls can be won if you have few morale and anti-morale skills. After that, everything is so dull that no matter how you play, the outcome is the same.

I didn't notice a significant difference in skill between the games against Dogbas and Tvarina.

It's a shame you didn't notice... I'll explain: Kilgor was disqualified because before the game, he hid his actual skill level and showed fake save files... Now he's playing at full strength, and he has one excuse: that he improved his skills through streams, physical game analysis, and so on... I don't think that excuse will work. I don't know why he decided to play, maybe to mock, or maybe he just has nothing else to do... But in the tournament, NEWCOMERS will be playing, not players with good experience...
