When I was reading the rules, I didn't read everything; I stopped at point
3.14. Actions not prohibited/not restricted by these rules are permitted. I scrolled to the next post and didn't notice the differences for the M200 templates, and Pete's post to darkello somehow further convinced me that I could freely use specialist heroes, even though he was writing about Loïnis.
The rules are written in black font, and I, out of habit, scrolled through the blue links and didn't notice the differences. So, that's what happened. Luckily, bubuch noticed, otherwise I would have won the tournament:D
In short, I lost our game, and he's playing against the number one player. There weren't any such situations in the previous game:)
Evgeny nobly suggested replaying the game, and I agreed, but only if I win 3 games in a row, but he won the first one. His draw was scarier than Krueger's, but he deserved it :).
