Hello, Heroes fans! It's been a while since there were any tournaments on HW, we need to fix that. I propose holding a dynamic and exciting summer tournament)

Template pool: 2sm, 6lm, Jebus Cross. Players alternately ban templates; the order is determined by a coin toss.

The default game version is SoD; by mutual agreement, both FreshMod and HotA can be played. Accordingly, games will be conducted according to the current SoD rules posted on HW, or according to the rules of the latest version of FreshMod (in this case, additional settings are chosen by player agreement), or according to the HotA lobby rules — that one's pretty clear. A small adjustment: I propose that in any version, when choosing towns, the HotA rule be used, where a player can ban one of the rolled towns and demand a free new pair be generated, then for 500 gold. I suggest limiting the number of rerolls and bans to two (first time free, second for 500).

It is assumed that all games will be played with OХ. ОХ for Jebus Cross and 6lm is 117, for 2sm is 115. Players can agree on any other ОХ time that suits them before the start of the match.

To keep the tournament engaging and intense, I propose playing each round within one week. I hope we can avoid scheduling mandatory game days, but if it does come to that, the course of action is simple: the participant who believes their opponent is avoiding the game must contact the organizer/judge before the end of the round and provide evidence of the opponent's avoidance. The organizer/judge tries to contact the second player; if an agreeable date for both players cannot be arranged, the organizer/judge will set a game time for the nearest evening; failure to show or being more than half an hour late will be counted as a technical defeat. If none of the participants request a mandatory game day before the end of the round, such a day will not be set after the round ends.

By decision of the tournament participants, one of them can be chosen as a judge in case such situations arise.

Since this tournament was initially conceived as a mini-tournament to be held in a short timeframe, the registration period is also short: registration closes on Wednesday at 23:59, and the draw will be held.

 

Draw results: (if I misspelled someone's nickname, no offense)
Group A: 1) Proger, 2) DimaSurmay, 3) gizmo-war, 4) Sir Davos.
Group B: 1) igrayukakmogu, 2) Bubuch, 3) Avangard, 4) ckotuHa.
Group C: 1) Troublikk, 2) Beriadon, 3) Gos, 4) Morgot 
Group D: 1) Gorbunak, 2) Mregor, 3) Meo, 4) Jobstar, 5) Neo

Rounds: 
In the first round, within each group, participants with the following order numbers play: 1 - 2, 3 - 4. 
Second round: 1 - 3, 2 - 4, 
Third round: 1 - 4, 2 - 3.
Official start of the tournament is August 5th. The duration of each group stage round and then each playoff round is one week.
All games are BO1 (best of one), but if both players agree to play under other BO conditions, it is not prohibited, as long as they manage to do so within the round's timeframe. Naturally, playing a game ahead of the round's start is not forbidden if both participants can find the time for it.
In case of a tie in points within a group, the Berger coefficient is checked first, then the head-to-head result. If this does not resolve it (a "rock-paper-scissors" situation or a draw in the head-to-head match), these players play each other again.

Further tournament bracket: 
Quarter-finals: A1-B2, A2-B1, C1-D2, C2-D1. 
Semi-finals: winner of pair A1-B2 vs. winner of pair C1-D2, winner of pair A2-B1 vs. winner of pair C2-D1.

Jobstar, as previously mentioned, is added to the tournament as the 16th participant, in group D, in the 4th slot. Neo will then be added to the tournament if any of the players withdraw.

There was 1 pathfinding on the scout, so the pathfinding on the scout became 115. Decided to use Brissa to pop out at the red's bottom on 115. And so it happened, on 116 I took the main, right with the unbought Dendroids. Already thought it would be an easy game.
On 117, the opponent shows 18 Arbs, 40 Centaurs, and 3 Minotaurs. Something's not so simple anymore. By 121, I'm already running to the opponent's last castle and checking the Griffin Conservatory along the way, which is empty. The next day, with the lookout, I see the Castle already defended with Angels. I turn around, head for the surface and the treasure zone. Kirj runs into the treasure zone, by 125 I capture the opponent's last castle with a low-level hero and boost Brissa there with the Stable. And then the opponent makes just a fatal mistake, boosts Kirj in the treasure zone. Brissa from the castle, with a last 100-move, chases off Kirj, who has nowhere to be recruited)) And so it was already GG for me, because the opponent has 4 Angels, 50++ Arbs, some Dwarves, Dragons vs my 15 Dwarves. And Kirj in the treasure zone had a bunch of Hives, a Corboas with 5 Dragons, a Faerie Dragon with КВ, 0 chances in the late game.
Indeed, especially since the boost was unnecessary to reach the castle. I couldn't believe Brissa's audacity to take such a risk, charging into the underground after Kiryukha. The next day, Kirj would have already been a god.
Thanks for the game!

Standard: No legendary heroes arrived, but three got earth, and Fiuur was appointed as the folder.
On 121, the hive is taken with supports, two Griffin Conservatories, a Naga Bank, and on 123, Fiuur flies into the treasure zone. Box 15k, hive.
And then the opponent launches a rush through my secondary. I pull back, figure I have time, and break Fiuur towards my native treasure zone, where I grab a Cloak +2+2, Chest +12-2, another hive, and break off to defend main.
The chains were broken, the opponent decides to pull back. But Fiuur, though without boots, caught up on the log.

Finale: I oil, but run into mass haste! Myulich miracles.. But the main striking force – 34 Earth Elementals – still couldn't pull it off.


Thanks for the game!

Standard: no legendary heroes showed up, but three got earth magic and Fiur was assigned as the main.
On 121, support buildings are taken: Hive, two Griffin Conservatories, Naga Bank, and on 123 Fiur jumps into the treasure zone. A 15k chest, Hive.
And then the opponent makes a rush through my secondary. I pull back, figure I have time, and break Fiur back to his native treasure zone, where I pick up a Cloak +2+2, Breastplate +12-2, another Hive, and head back to defend the main.
Chain-links were broken, the opponent decides to retreat. But Fiur, even without boots, catches up on log.

Finale: I overextend, but run into Mass Haste! Mullich is blessed.. But the main striking force — 34 Earth Elementals — still can't pull it off.

Thanks for the game!
A super rich gold yield allowed not only to build up the main, but also to gather Earth Elementals from two pickups, a secondary Conflux, and a portal by the start of the second week. Then I upgraded them too, resulting in an impressive stack (for week 2) of 34 Magma Elementals. Earth magic was not received by anyone this time; Mullich had good stats for him (Armor right away, then Wisdom and Air). Before he leveled Air, I thought about buying him Earth at the University, but I likely wouldn't have traded that much gold. Mullich takes a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, fills it, doubles mana, and runs into the underground, where he takes the opponent's town. Simultaneously, Shakti pulls a leveled Luna from a prison, who a bit later dies shamefully against the opponent's scout hero from Death Wave :)
After surfacing, I run towards the opponent's main, but don't make it, even though Mullich was coned and had boots (with angel speed he would have reached it, but I didn't risk pulling that off).
The result was a more or less dreary finale, with the opponent having powerful striking stacks: 5 Angels, 17 Titans, birds and storms, against my same old Magma Elementals, two Angels, and native fodder: Troglodytes, Eyes, and Minotaurs.
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. The main hero wasn't Ivor, but Mullich, but that's a minor detail. He got greedy and went to collect resources in the center, miscalculated the moves - less than 100 wasn't enough to break the structure. If he had broken the structure and recharged his mana, there would have been theoretical chances due to the explosion.
Thanks for the game.



Added 1 hour 50 minutes later

I think we can register Neo as the 5th participant in the group if the player wants to participate in the tournament; there's no need to wait for someone to withdraw.
However, I can't set any deadlines for the rounds for him, as he's not filling an empty slot, but a "surplus" 5th slot. Neo will have to arrange the dates of the games with each participant in his group individually.
The random number generator has assigned Neo to group D.

I miscalculated the strength of an army of 250 skeletons with extra meat; they were too strong, and I lost on maximum concentration. Thanks for the game.

I think we can add Neo and a 5th participant to the group if the player wants to participate in the tournament; why wait for someone to withdraw?)

ask the moderators to move the groups to the header of the tournament, otherwise people might not see it.

Please register me for the tournament. A clean SOD (Start of Day) is preferred. I hope you'll take me as the fifth member of the group.
In reply to Beriadon
I had a pretty good respawn, boots +400 mp on the first day, stables near main and Labetha who learned expert earth magic on 112 (box +5000 exp). Also on 112 I've got a box +40 marksmen - they helped me to take another box guarded by 25 upg. dendroids. Lucky Labetha took it and obtained all 4th lvl spells including tp, resurrect, meteor, chain...
Finally on 121 I broke into center, Labetha had 6-2-13-10, earth, water & air magic plus intelligence. Army was 3 angels, 14 cyclops, 12 wyverns, 20 upg. griffins (another box :) ) and ~60 marksmen.
There was a bunch of hives around central town, also spellbinder's hat & earth tome nearby.
On 122 I saw opponent taking utopia, 123 he tried to reach center but failed with the road and 124 final battle took place (my first cast - implosion - gg).
Thanks for game!
