Heroes of Might and Magic IV Duel Tournament: "Wisdom and Luck"

Upper Bracket Semifinals

CTPAHHuK (Academy) lose Хозяин (Academy) 0:1
Order was rolled on both sides. My armor-piercing army of dwarves, golems, nagas, and titans couldn't do anything useful against the opponent. Хозяин was better prepared for the battle. Havr laughed at my clumsy tactician without morale and told me that I must take genies in the future. I've been playing for many years, and yet I'm still being taught. And that's where I got really angry!

Before the second arena, there were two restarts. Zubr first rerolled my chaos, then his own catapults. He couldn't shake my rage. And off we went.

CTPAHHuK (Academy) def Хозяин (Academy) 1:1
Now, like a good acolyte, I followed the path of the strongest. I gathered many genies and even mages in my army. I made a pro-morale tactician and rushed into the rematch. My Sorceresses cancel immos, the mages cast poison on the opponent's highly resistant tactician. Хозяин goes into sanctuary without immo. Poison continues to hammer the enemy tactician, and only in the 5th round does the tactician disappear from the battlefield. My heroes, shielded by the chubby little ones, survive to claim the first victory in this series!

CTPAHHuK (Necropolis) lose Хозяин (Preserve) 2:1
With all the corpses in battle, I immediately strive to block the enemy wizard and gargoyles. Only once does a dispel fly to the Necromancer, taking away only half of its health. I'm in no rush to take down the tactician. Meat grinds meat.

CTPAHHuK (Necropolis) def Хозяин (Academy) 3:1
In the decisive clash, I do something stupid. Everything is going perfectly, the sorceresses on the other side are almost finished before they even got a turn. I copy a devil with the tactician, which should immediately finish off a sorceress, but my necromancer moves before the illusion. Instead of waiting, I mass-cancel and the devil copy disappears as well. The enemy Sorceress cancels my immos, the necromancer falls quickly. In the second round, the Sorceress gets ultimate luck, putting a slow on me. It's no joke. However, a superior generalissimo, made as Havr says (!), managed alone to lead his corpses to the victorious end of the battle! Glory to the heavens!
