“Summer 2013” experimental season. Online ranked games (reports, discussions).

13.06.2013 The_ (blue, random, Dungeon, Dimer, Dimer) def c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (red, random, Fortress, Tiva, Ivor) 146 2sm2c m200.

We were left without restorations, played for luck.
I clearly had better luck, Dimer as a starting hero and immediately main, plus with a pendant +1 speed. At the respawn there is a Griffon Conservatory, an external dwelling of Troglodytes, though running from the Castle to the Conservatory takes four days, or even more. Quickly took a secondary, captured all the mines there to build the Mage Guild. And ran to take the Conservatory; basically, Bless on 150 Troglodytes + Meteor on 200 - no problems with the Conservatory.
I run to my native treasure zone, there are four chests, 2 for 5k experience, and 2 chests for 100 upgraded zombies in total; meanwhile, the Mage Guild gives Armageddon. Just then Ivor comes out of the portal into my treasure zone, the only pleasant thing left there was a miniature Dragon Fly Hive.
I split Dimer to double mana (180), Rain for 400, Lightning for 350, Armageddon for 720. I lure Ivor with stacks into a trap, and Ivor, realizing he can't escape from Dimer, attacks himself on 132. This should have ended it all, but for some reason I decided that after a demoralizing Armageddon, the opponent would just surrender =). Of course I could have forced Ivor to either buy me off with minimal losses, with huge losses of meat, or even kill him, but I cast Armageddon. Ivor dies, dropping a couple of quest items, gloves and a cloak +2+2.
Further, the opponent fought like a lion, very beautifully playing with mages using stacks - death waves, shooters, buybacks, tried to take my main, built 5th guild in the Necropolis secondary (unlucky, none of the attacking spells). But in the end, after a long chase and shootouts, he reached my main, and saw a four-week supply of Medusas there, which can't be pierced by magic anymore, and surrendered.

Thanks for the battle, the will to win, and the auto :)
