Lord Vampire (dwarves, Carli) lost Leolopus (humans, Miv)
Leolopus (dwarves, Helmar) won Lord Vampire (humans, Iris)
Lord Vampire (elves, Anwen) won Leolopus (necropolis, Lucretia)
final score 2-1 in favor of Leolopus
In the first game, the Knights of Isabel, inspired, did their thing, and the rest helped. In the second game, the dwarves left no chance for the humans. And in the third, a rain of arrows followed by a fiery rain basically decided the outcome of the battle. Thanks to my opponent for the game!

KonServator (Knight, Vittorio) won KillAndAction (Demon, Marbas)
KonServator (Demon, Deleb) won KillAndAction (Knight, Dugald)
KonServator (Warlock, Erin) won KillAndAction (Warlock, Vaishan)
In the first game, I struck first with Knights and Angels against Archdevils and Nightmares. Basically, from the beginning, the advantage was on my side, although the opponent cast Dispel twice (the first time, my archers resisted it).
In the second game, Kill trained 38 Knights with Isabel, but they were frightened twice by Nightmares (Soldier's Luck helped to some extent), plus my hero cast Mass Dispel and Mass Haste. Therefore, the Knights did not inflict significant damage on my troops.
In the third game, we both played as Warlocks. I focused on Chaos and Sorcery. Apparently, Kill didn't get Sorcery, and that played to my advantage.
Final score: 3:0

I confirm Leo's report :) You did play in 2 tournaments after all :) I apologize for the uninteresting game))) I'm playing THIS for the first time. :) P.S. Konserv, you're a giant.

KonServator(Orcs, Kegan) won ArhAngel(Demons, Jezebel)
KonServator(Demons, Nibros) won ArhAngel(Orcs, Tilsek)
KonServator(Mages, Jalib) won ArhAngel(Warlocks, Sinithar)
Game 1: I upgraded tactics, speed aura, luck, and retribution. I bought boots +1 speed, a ring +2 HP, and a necklace +1 damage and pierce armor. Erin had darkness, mass slow, and mass dispel, but my high morale saved me for the most part.
Game 2: I upgraded defense, darkness, attack, and luck, and took fast portal opening from the logistics branch. Mass dispel, mass slow, and vampirism helped in the battle.
Game 3: I focused on light and chaos. I relied on obsidian golems and Jalib's divine retribution.
Total: 3:0
Thanks for the interesting game ;)

Thanks for the interesting game ;)

I confirm. I'm not very good at playing THIS, I hope the rating won't be counted as a duel.
I was very unlucky. My opponent constantly had high morale and luck, and he also got lucky with the spells, while I didn't. In this form of duels, LUCK decides everything, which, as always, is not on my side.

Alex_nv (Dungeon, Erin) defeated Kitsune (Inferno, Jezebeth)
Alex_nv (Inferno, Marabas) lost to Kitsune (Dungeon, Sorgal)
Alex_nv (Dwarves, Ingvar) defeated Kitsune (Necropolis, Zoltan)
Result: 2-1 in favor of Alex_nv

In the first game, Erin developed Chaos and Summoning (she had Fenia, elementals, phantom, Armageddon, and Meteor Shower with Emerald Boots). She had to give up on Summoning in battle because her opponent had a Ring of Exile :( But Chaos, combined with the available power support, was enough :)
In the second game, the opponent used Earth Shock (~1400 HP). But what really shocked me was that Marabas (25%) with resistance (15%) and hero armor (20%), i.e., 60% resistance and reflection (-15%), did NOT deflect the opponent's magic even once. This was truly absolutely irresistible magic :) At the same time, Sorgal, having 240 magic points, went before the imps and destroyed half of them with Shock :( Combined with my, at least, two mistakes, I suffered a predictable defeat despite subduing the hero and using temptresses :(
The third game compensated for all the bad luck in the second: I got Ingvar, a full set of Weapon of Power, antimagic, and resurrection. Runes: berserk, exorcism, incorporeality, stunning, and dragon rune. The guild had speed and punishing strike, but I didn't get Wrath :( However, this was compensated by Sparkle Protection with Stone Skin and Sparkle Attack with Haste and BB. Although Zoltan blocked Mass Haste on the first try and allowed Mass Speed, the difference of ~20 units between my defense and the opponent's attack should have been more than enough. Moreover, the undead were without any fancy spells. However, the dwarves had just started to have fun (1.5 rounds of the battle had passed), and the game crashed :( The opponent reasonably agreed to the defeat, and they decided not to finish the game because the connection was constantly glitching, the game was running very slowly, and it was already past 3 am! Thank you for the games. Good luck in the future!
