CHALLENGE The_ CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, The_'s CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

We played in several sessions. For the first 2 weeks, family kept distracting me at home, so I made a bunch of mistakes, the biggest of which was a complete blowout in the middle of the first week - a zero-mana Solmyr with 20 Lizardmen, 10 Gnolls, and a Fly couldn't beat 95 Gremlins and Imps. Plus, the loot was pretty poor - 2 treasure chests from strategic locations gave artifacts... On top of that, the Tower opponent put up a good fight - he took my Castle twice on the very last unit :). So I barely managed to pick up the pace. Unbelievably, I could only get into the first Hive on day 131, but then things took off - the Refugee Camp gave me a Gold Dragon, then a few more Hives right away, I eliminated two more opponents, took the Griffin Conservatory, got a fast Town Portal at the Conflux, and had perfect leveling for Tazar. But even so, by the end of the month, Valeska showed up with primary stats around 30, full control, and a decent stack of Red Dragons in addition to the rest (as it turned out, there was a Dungeon and 3 external Dragon dwellings...). I thought it was all over, but my opponent decided to clear the big sand treasure zone, while I calmly went to clear the other direction.
In the end, I gathered 175 Titans, upgraded them, had a good stack of Cavaliers from two Castles and an external dwelling, 16 Archangels (my opponent had about the same), full control for a long time too, Elixir of Life, +2 Speed, and almost caught up in primary stats. I cast View Air around his Castle - I could see the Blue player's area with Dragon dwellings - so I flew there. Right away, I killed a patsy with 3 Archangels (he was apparently preparing to take the Castle at the end of the week), then a couple more patsies, captured the dwellings, and my opponent decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game!
