26.08.2013. Nitro (red, Stronghold, gurni) def. The_ (blue, Necro, NOT Clavius, BUT STRIKER, Clavius) 2sd4d(3) 124 game1

Out of 7 draws, Striker came 5 times (twice as starter, 3 times in tavern), respawn gave tiny, with blockers, no bones, no money, how to break through 30+ hogs for the obelisk blocking the road is unclear, behind them are upgraded pixies, then immediately upgraded sprites on a secondary, on another secondary eyes. Basically no chance, given that the opp rushed.

Thanks for the game.

And now about a sore subject. I'll say upfront, I understand all about life problems, work, need to pay attention to a girlfriend, friends called to drink beer, etc., we're all human, everyone has much more important things to do besides Heroes, BUT:
- if you register for a tournament it implies that time for the game will still be found, and time that suits not only you but also your opponent.
- if there is an agreement to play, you need to try to follow through or at least let it be known that there's no opportunity to play and say a time when it would be convenient to play for further coordination of the game.
- remember that not only you have things to do and the other person is not a robot who will sit and wait for you to find time to play with them.

Why am I saying all this, you ask? It was relatively lucky that we played the first game in about 3 hours max (due to the layout and other factors); Nitro didn't have more time to play that day. We agreed to play the next day, I waited for the opp for three hours, and eventually left to play another game without waiting; I was online until 03:00 AM Moscow time, judging by this report (00:45 Moscow time) Nitro was also online, but I received neither a message nor any other explanation.
We played the first game at a time that was exceptionally convenient for Nitro (there was an agreement for 6 PM, but we eventually started at 9 PM; again, all that time I just sat waiting for him). Before that, we were supposed to play on Sunday (I don't remember how long, but again I waited for the opp for more than two hours); after the coin toss and template selection, Nitro said he had to leave for work and retreated. Even earlier, Nitro didn't get in touch for a whole week (he was online, and only after my message that I had informed the tournament organizers about this did some activity regarding game agreements begin, which, as I already wrote above, were broken multiple times (it should be added here that after the end of the first round on 18.08.2013, Nitro wrote that he probably wouldn't be able to play for about three or four days for personal reasons, but not to go silent for a whole week)). I get the feeling that only I need to play these games, because I haven't heard a single offer from Nitro, and the few that were made were not honored. I lost the first game fairly, albeit not without significant assistance from the generator, but I had absolutely no motivation to play due to the situation described above.

There are five days left for the possible !!two!! games, and considering that in all that time Nitro found only three hours for the game, the prospects are not encouraging. Personally, I don't want forfeit awards based on saves, technical results, or other non-game decisions. For example, today I have three season games that I promised to finish, and if any of my opponents can/wants to play today, I will play with them; tomorrow I won't be home for personal reasons. On the weekend, in addition to my own affairs, I have an agreement to play in the "Hunger Games" tournament, where not two but four people participate.
Therefore, I want to publicly inquire: when can we play the possible two games?

In conclusion, I think that all of Nitro's actions (or inaction) are without malicious intent, etc., but there's a limit to understanding and "making allowances for the situation." I hope for an adequate resolution of the situation and for him to get in touch to agree on a time convenient for everyone.
