05.08.2013 Dirty_Player (red, Dungeon, Arlach, Arlach) def Pit for LM (blue, Inferno, Olema, Kyrre) 2sm2c 134

Probably should have taken a restart — after all, it's one road to ГО and Inferno against Dungeon. But from the scout I saw a lot of gold and that the opponent's secondary was on the swamp, so I decided to play.
In the first week, via roadless terrain, I occupied the barbarian secondary on the mud, built Efreeti in the castle. No heroes, no treasure spots.
Only on 122 I bought Kyrre and ran the long detour into my treasure zone. For some reason, the boxes there gave skeletons...
Overall, the key mistake happened on 131, when, fearing the opponent's attack, I decided to break into the castle from the treasure zone. Before that, I attacked a horde of storm elementals. And there were 90+ of them. Only one of the 6 Efreeti survived, I almost lost everything. And then I broke in instead of picking up the +1+1 magic artifact and the Dragon Fly Hive.
When Arlach arrived, I blundered again with Jeddite — could have had 2 casts of Hypnotize on berserker. Didn't replenish mana...
That's why I didn't have much of a chance in the Armageddon's Blade fight either — too little HP left in my troops.
Even though the setup gave me no chance, I probably could have pulled it off anyway.
Thank you for the game.
