Finally came to my senses, as I was part of a group seeing off the guys from St. Petersburg, after which we hung out with St. Claus, Schlots, and the sleeping Stinger until the metro opened :smile13:

It was a great event, huge thanks to The for organizing such a cool event, it was interesting to meet people I only knew online, and it was also nice to see familiar faces :rolleyes: All day long, Yegor delighted our group with his presence, and it seems he spent all his energy on that, so unfortunately he couldn't make it on the second day, so we finished without his witty outbursts. We had to entertain ourselves, we organized a mini-tournament in Dota, 1v1 on Spheres, and only Just Observers participated, so the winner's nickname probably won't tell you anything :smile04:

I streamed both days, and there should be about a 10-hour recording from the second day, but I don't know if I'll be able to upload it yet. I just realized that I didn't think to post a link to my channel in this thread, and I'm sure someone missed something because of that, sorry :smile39:

The most epic game of the tournament was Tvarina vs. Hexer (aka Tvarina Killer :smile52:), which took place in the very first round. Tvarina made an epic blunder in the middle of the second week when he split right next to his opponent and didn't have time to rejoin his troops due to the timer, and then it turned into a chase with horses, tricksters, etc. I ended up watching until around 131, because I went to play my own game, and I finished it only a little later than these diligent guys :D

I would describe my game with Tvarina, but it's better to watch it, so I'll wait and see if I can upload the recording. In short, it was an attraction of unprecedented generosity, but the main thing is the two papal chats standing right behind the players :smile52:

And of course, congratulations to Pit on his victory, I didn't see the games, but from the reports and stories, I understood that all the games were well-balanced, and most importantly, with excellent execution :smile13:
