At the start of the second week, I took the aforementioned Hive with a secondary hero, which turned out to be a maxi, losing 30 skeletons + meat from the Tower village, then with another secondary hero I took the +2 HP flask, then with Gosha I took a box for 20-49 gold worth of dendroid guards for 10k experience. That was the decisive moment for me in the game; Gosha was level 12 with all skills on Expert, and I got lucky - Earth magic was finally offered and it immediately leveled to Expert. Then on 123 I split Gosha and through an external tavern I stayed overnight at the Griffin Conservatory 3-4 and during that turn I took 2 Hives for 8+4 wisps. On 124 I hit a double Guard Outpost - first 50+ dread knights, then 70 of their unupgraded versions, and I reached the central ramp, sped up, and in the last seconds of the turn placed a Mage Guild there. From town there were two roads: one to the respawn towards the opponent with an unbroken Guard Outpost of 50+ manticores, and the second to the center where another 2 Guard Outpost blocks closed the path.
In general, since the end of 122, the timer was really pressuring me and I made a fatal mistake - I decided to replenish mana with the red color. I wasn't too wary of the opponent, but during his turn he sharply raised his stats (took Gladius + doubled his spellpower parameter), broke through the Guard Outpost, scouted me with a secondary hero - I had 15/100 mana, and he caught me at the ramp fort.
He had 2 red dragons, 4 angels, 18 scorpicores, 190 troglodytes, and 1+1+1 harpies / I had 5 sultans, 3 angels, 24 ducks (which merged into 1 stack), 40 magogs, 250 skeletons. We fought for 30+ minutes; the opponent skillfully used his mana advantage, having 70 against my 15. I had a chance for a decent trade by casting Haste on the ducks for my last mana and striking the scorpicores, but I didn't risk it; however, no matter the outcome, I would have lost Gosha in the battle and had no prospects afterwards.
Good game from the opponent, instant punishment for a mistake, gg.
Thanks for the game!

Congratulations Falcone on a well-deserved victory in the tournament. His path was quite difficult and thorny. After losing in the upper bracket quarterfinals, he managed to reach the grand final and take revenge, winning 3-0.
In the first game on 8mm6a, the game's pace was killed by a block of cyclopes at the exit of my respawn.
In the second game on 8mm6a, I fully paid for my gross mistakes and, after several losses, decided to surrender.
In the third game on Jebus Cross, having played decently without major mistakes, I underestimated the situation and let slip a game where I could have seriously hoped for a win.
I thank my opponent for the game, for a good final.
I thank the organizers for the tournament; in the six months I've been playing Heroes Online, my game has improved significantly, largely thanks to this tournament.
I thank all the opponents I had the chance to play against; it was very interesting to play and communicate.
Thank you for the tournament.
