It's been a while since we played 200% ... and allrandom too ... on same-map especially never once. While fixing this oversight ...

Tournament Rules:

1) Template - Diamond

2) Castle and starting hero - random. Starting bonus can be chosen.

3) Difficulty - 200% (2500 gold at start).

4) Colors - in the first generation, red is for the player higher in rating; thereafter, colors change with each subjective restart (colors do not change during restarts due to a block or encounter).

5) Timer - we'll play rapid, 12+6+1, because there isn't much to do in the first week at 200%.

6) Roads are medium.

Other rules are standard (guild rebuild is enabled).

7) Tournament formula - Swiss system with elimination after 2 losses. Each round is played bo3.

8) Tournament games go into the rating by default, but at the request of any player, they may not. This should be announced before the game starts. A non-rated game must still be submitted through the report system (specify "non-rated" in the comments) - so that it hangs on the 1st page of the general list; I will annul it later.

Tournament Start - in a month, 25.09.2017

Sevan_80 - battanas mutual tech loss

Round 2 Deadline - until 21.11.2017

Reminder on the substitution order - if a player withdraws from the tournament before losing twice, their slot becomes vacant and is filled by the player from the losers' bracket who reported their lost round first. A substitution can only happen once; substitutions always enter the losers' bracket.

Magl withdrew after a loss in the winners' bracket, so his slot in the losers' bracket passes to De_Luxe.

Also, both players in the Sevan_80 vs battanas pair withdrew from the losers' bracket, so the "winner" slot of this pair passes to Benis.

Both had control... I held the Castle to prevent losing it, and it was within one jump's distance from the neighboring town. Dave attacked with mass Berserkers, and I had summons, good mana (200+), and bracers. Both died, and a couple of days later, luck struck – a hero with control and artifacts appeared, which decided the outcome of the game.

Without rating.
Thank you for the game!

Perhaps the most spectacular tournament in recent times has come to an end. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the streams, especially the final series – the fast pace, the high intensity, and, despite all that, the players demonstrated a good level of skill. This is exactly how I imagine competitive Heroes.

The winner is Dave_HUN!!! :smile49: :smile49: :smile49:

Congratulations to the winner and thank you to all the participants :smile20:

I'm sorry the finals took so long, thanks for the patience. I am glad the games were interesting to the viewers. I think 8 minutes timer would have been better, with 6 minutes the chances for mistakes were much higher. Of course I know that time management is important skill in this game, but 6 minutes felt like blitz diamond to me. A quick summary from my point of view:
The first game didnt start very promising, as I had poor army and poor start zone. With split armies I managed to spread into many directions though and quickly gathered a lot of money, Gurnisson developed nicely, I took fire magic on lvl4 because I saw fire tome. I saw a couple of hives, and many of them were maxi early, so army quickly grew, and I had blue hat. After gaining some stats, full control and expert fire, I decided to rush opponent in his main town. I was pretty confident with expert berserk, I could use it on all of his important stacks, but mephala with expert intelligence and earth elemental spam was still superior. I tried to kill opp's units with arma and retreat, but he had shackles. No resurrection on mephala though, so both heroes died. I played on because I still had air book and couple good heroes, developed dessa and took air book pretty soon, then got stats too but then Gurnisson showed up in opponent's tavern and it was over.
I don't remember much of the second game, I think I had good pace but opponent showed up on 133 with 122 wyverns and huge stats, which was kinda scary. I had a chance to beat him with armageddon and big spell power on Malekith but I didnt expect +3 speed on Aislinn, and with blitz timer it didnt even occur to me that firebird will not go first vs angels on grass. Money was pretty tight, so building phoenixes was questionable, given how I didnt even build firebirds at that time. But nevertheless, this mistake cost me and got caught soon afterwards.
In 3rd game I think I quickly ran out of restarts because I got 2 necro starts and one tower piquedram, then with no restarts left I got necro straker. :smile40: And then opp took restart :D . Final map was not very good, I got inferno which pretty much saved my chances, because my whole map had 2 pickets way offroad even though I scouted almost everywhere. So only way to get army was via demon farming, and 2 pike dwellings helped a lot. Artifacts were decent, blue hat and +5all allowed me to take topes fairly quickly, tower guild have resu, and tp after research. First 2 topes weren't very good, black orb, blue hat, crown of dragontooth and water book. 3rd tope was mini but gave titan cuirass. Once more we had control fight, I had a couple good secondaries but seeing opponent's only powerstack is 30+ cyclopes, I decided to go for final battle. Gundula tried to summon earth elementals but expert berserk + black orb did the trick.
In decisive game I took big risk playing necropolis vs fortress drakon, I was even going to take 112 because grindan is awesome, but it would still be risky to play it. Then I spotted boots, a cons, and decided to play on. I took box guarded by 80 battle dwarves and got 20 corsairs, this helped a lot because I didn't have money to buy full army 121. Timer was also problematic because I did too much thinking week 1. Cons was mini, but I think that was beneficial because in bigger cons my timer would have ran out and I lose 2000+ movement points. I picked up +5all on 122, and started taking hives, meanwhile built up necro guild. Uland with 2 black knights scouted another zone and spotted earth tome at the end of it. I quickly went for it and took tope the same day with orb of silt, +4all. Opp was about to steal 2 of my towns with scout Ignissa and I decided to defend against it by putting Grindan in nearby flux. Then surprisingly he attacked me with Elleshar and about 55 monarchs. He killed 11 wyverns, I imploded 36 monarchs and surrendered. I kept rebuilding lvl5 in necro, and got literally every spell before I got DD. :( I was inferior in army strength, but better in stats. I managed to assemble Elixir, and found shackles in lava. All the rebuilding kinda screwed my financial situation and I could not sustain control wars for very long, so I went all-in and tried to attack opponent's main. In one turn his timer was very low and tp-d to close town, which I found. 120 earth elementals per spellcast were too much.

Thank you for the games!

Dave really knows how to write clear reports!
His language is free of jargon and complex constructions; it's simple English, like in a textbook, everything is clear and concise:smile20:

Please register me for the tournament, and if it's not too much trouble, could you explain in a private message when the tournament starts and what the rules are? This is my first tournament. I've been playing since I was seven. I have a good understanding of the game.
