It was a close game.
I focused more on nix under Meephala and collecting Dragon Flies, the opponent focused on giants and sea wolves. In the end, I managed to win the game thanks to a single turn lasting 35 minutes. During this turn, I ate 15% of the entire map; the timer ran out before I could do more. About 30 minutes before the end of the turn, 6 heroes had moved, Meephala had 800 movement points, and there was a Deesa with 3k MP, who did most of the damage, plus heroes from prisons and taverns that the opponent had dismissed helped a lot (I pulled out several heroes level 10+ with mana). By this time, I already had the Cap of the Week; from the Maximum Dragon Utopia, I also pulled out a КЗ, even though I had lost a lot of troops in the process.
Afterwards, Redvight attacked Meephala several times, literally in the last seconds. The first time was a key attack, when Meephala was missing a total of 25 stats and didn't have the Golden Bow; however, thanks to a slightly larger amount of mana (even with 6 spell power), I managed to fend off Corkes, leaving him with 330 zombies, while I had about 15 cyclopes, 20 pirates, 10 Dragon Flies, but most importantly I stayed in the zone with the Dragon Utopia and a Grail inside, + later I ate a fat treasure of the opponent's which I had cleared a week earlier, giving up only two Dragon Fly Hives.
In that treasure, there was another final battle, which in theory I should have won outright, but I forgot to equip a КО or at least a Grail, though by casting Anti-Magic on the cyclopes, I actually preserved the main stack, killed off all the opponent's meat except for 22 Ice Demons. Afterwards, with two upgraded logistics heroes and Meephala with logistics, I set up chains on 3 factories that gave a total of 8 giants, + the native town with castle and Grail on top of that — can't kill that head-on, especially since the opponent probably wouldn't have found anything else on the map besides their native meat.
However, it all turned out more prosaically. In the last seconds of the timer, Corkes flew in on a couple of singles to a village I had captured, and didn't manage to fly back, so he was killed instantly.

2-1.
Thanks for the games!

I threw the game myself, a game I was obliged to win.
In the 2nd week, I wasted 2 days for the minimal Griffin Conservatory and 10k experience. I was supposed to take the Dragon Utopia with a level 5 cap, a day or two earlier than the opponent, and manage to consume everything before him. I also didn't gear up properly for the first final, because I got behind on the timer, and then desperate attempts in a tilt to pull through led to nothing good.
Thanks for the game.
