Posts from [DUEL TOURNAMENT IN HEROES V] Life in the Twilight

In this thread, you can sign up for the online tournament "Life in the Twilight". This is also where the tournament will be discussed, and questions can be asked. To register, you need to leave a post in this thread with the following information: Your nickname on the HeroesWorld.ru forum Your nickname on ubi.com Your ICQ number The time you are likely to be on the ubi.com server (specify hours and days of the week) Example registration data: Nightwolf Nightwolf1991 234-456-789 Usually every evening, except weekends. Tournament judge - ValgallaWolf (ICQ#: 355-654-648) Tournament start: As soon as at least 16 people sign up. Rules: Each player must ban 6 heroes from their opponent's list before the duels begin. During the match, a player can replace ONE hero in their banned list ONCE (i.e., if the list looks like Ossir, Nimue, Crag Hack, Sinister, Orson, and Iris, and after, for example, the second duel, you think you banned the wrong hero, you can change, for example, Crag Hack to Jaliba). The names of the banned heroes are sent via ICQ, MSN, Agent@Mail.Ru, etc., to the judge or any other third party. After the battle, players must save replays. One player chooses the arena for the game, and then the other. The order of selection is not important and is up to the players. The arenas "Boarding" and "Abyss" are prohibited. If a hero was chosen in the first game, that hero cannot be played by the same player in the next game. And now, the highlight of the program... If your opponent chooses a "Dark" faction (Dungeon, Barbarian, Necropolis, Inferno), you must choose a "Light" faction (Haven, Sylvan, Academy, Fortress). That's why the tournament is called "Life in the Twilight" - I wanted to diversify the format of the duel tournament. Naturally, this format also affects the banning of heroes - 3 "Dark" and 3 "Light" heroes are banned. There will probably be a slight imbalance, but I don't think it will have a significant impact. By default, the game is played on the Ubi server. By agreement, the game can be played via the Hamachi program. Game version: HoMM5: ToE 3.0 Game type: duel. Dynamic combat: disabled. Now about the format. In the first stage (group stage), participants will be divided into 4 groups of 4 people. Within the groups, each player must play 2 duels against each other. For each duel, the winner receives 1 point, and the loser receives 0. The top 2 players from each group advance. In case of a tie, the result of the head-to-head match is taken into account. If this indicator is also equal, then the "Twilight" indicator is taken into account, that is, the percentage of victories for Light and Dark, the one with the percentage closer to 50% advances. The table for the second stage is under development. The second stage is played in an Olympic system (single elimination). Sincerely, just back from a pirate ship with Odin and Thor, Valgalla Wolf.

Major Whirlwind meleagre13 499-963-399 I would like the tournament to start next week, as I (and probably not just me) have a vacation, which means a lot of free time. In general, I play on weekends (and it would be good to play in the morning) and on weekdays after 6:00 PM Moscow time. P.S. In my opinion, it is preferable to play through Hamachi. It sometimes crashes too, but the gameplay is somehow more comfortable...

It would be logical to make matches of 4 duels in the second stage, but this needs to be discussed, as not everyone has that much free time...

Well, that depends on how much time you give for the 2nd stage ;)

Available on weekdays from 5 PM to 8 PM Moscow time, and on weekends from morning to late night, but we need to coordinate beforehand))))

Regarding the organization of the elimination process: is it mandatory to eliminate 3 evil and 3 good creatures, or can we do it as we please?

Usually every evening from 7 PM to 10 PM Moscow time, on weekends by arrangement.

Question about the elimination mechanic: is it mandatory to eliminate 3 evil and 3 good heroes, or can you do it however you want?

It is mandatory. Otherwise, you might eliminate 6 good heroes from your opponent and take an evil one, which would drastically reduce their selection options and create a significant imbalance. In my opinion, the number of heroes to be eliminated is usually equal for both sides...

Please register me. kitsune kitsu-neko 440-032-296 It's best to arrange the time beforehand. Or maybe we can play a dynamic battle?:smile01:

I think it's time for me to try dueling tournaments, although duels themselves are a mystery to me, so I'll be an "easy" opponent:D

I can play almost any day: on weekdays in the evening from 19:00-24:00 Moscow time, on weekends whenever possible, we need to arrange it.

Don't worry that the list of participants isn't available yet; once we have 16 (or more), I'll conduct a draw and divide everyone into groups – then four small tables will appear.

And please, sign me up...

P.S. I prefer playing through Hamachi.

Here is one of the songs that inspired this tournament: "Life in Twilight."
I was born on the border
Between Light and Darkness.
I was crucified for playing mad games with fate. But my immortal body lies under the ice,
And my soul burns with fire!

Drained by Darkness,
Cursed by Light forever.
I fell like a stone to the bottom,
I soared like a bird to the top. Only gray shadows in the intertwining of crowns.
I am tired, my life is a terrible dream!

I am cursed in Twilight by both Light and Darkness!
The circle of life is closed, there is no way home.
In this joyless world, there are no stars in the sky!
Dreams turn to dust!

So, who should I pray to?
There are no gods here!
The world is like a prison,
A palace for slaves!
I am bound by chains,
I want to die!
I cannot crawl, fly, or escape!

Thunder will rumble -
A gray wanderer will come to this world.
The heavens will blaze with bright flame above him!
Everyone dreams of leaving this place,
To see the dawn above them!

I am cursed in Twilight by both Light and Darkness...
I cannot fly away, crawl away, die, or escape...

Write to me... I played in the league – now we'll try our luck in the cup bracket :smile49:
