zalil.ru is still down... :(
The video isn't really needed – unless you want to watch how difficult battles are completed; this would be interesting and useful for everyone. But the actions of a human player can be viewed in a recording using the HD mod, as already mentioned: this would eliminate 99.99% of all questions about cheating.
Personally, I also don't think that using programs like the aforementioned Prospector (a powerful tool, although I haven't tried it yet), using cheats for scouting, hero digging, etc., is particularly honorable. But since the tournament rules allow it, players use them. Playing for a result requires the player to make the most accurate calculations of their actions and optimize them to the maximum; here, every step worth 100 movement points matters.
For example, from the description and discussion of the battle with Deemer on the forum, it became clear to me that he was defeated only because the AI was acting very stupidly, and to win, it was necessary to find a position in which the AI would act exactly as we need it to. :) And I don't find any valor in that either. Obviously, if the AI didn't act stupidly, it would not have been possible to defeat Deemer with such a balance of forces in a "fair" way. I'm not even talking about what would happen if a human controlled him!..

I don't know for sure, but maybe the author intended the battle against Deemer to be without mana. Then the AI won't act stupidly. Try downloading my battle with Deemer. There, the fight takes place without mana :) he doesn't act stupidly there... there was just a calculation of how to correctly position our figures to defeat him.
