Playing games for a month at a time, or 10 hours a day, isn't my thing. I expected more from the mirror map. Although, maybe it would be more fun with faster roads. I'm withdrawing from the tournament.

I looked at the statistics:
- The average game duration on h3dm1 turned out to be 17 days (1.3.3)
- The average game duration on mt_Diamond turned out to be 14 days (1.2.7)
The sample size is still small and will be adjusted, but it's unlikely to change significantly.
I looked at the statistics for my tournaments on individual maps:
Terra dei Demoni - 14 days (1.2.7)
Diamond Monster - 18 days (1.3.4)
So, the mirror maps turned out to be even faster than Diamond, which is considered a fast, aggressive map.
Only Jebus and M-200 might be even faster (I need to look at the statistics), XL+U, Mininosta, CMK, and Anarchy clearly take longer to play. I'm not sure about Balance-Panic.
Specifically regarding Sticky's game - in my opinion, you can only finish a game on h3dm1 up to version 1.4.6 if both players are sitting on their own side of the map and aren't in a hurry (90% of the time), or if there were roughly equal exchanges (10% of the time). On the mirror map, there isn't much space and almost no off-road areas, so if you manage to avoid crossing paths with your opponent, you can completely explore your half of the map in 3 weeks.
