Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Castle, Valeska, Orrin) def LeBron (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 8mm6, 1.3.4.

that's how it was! the respawn turned out to be exceptionally treacherous, poor, and blocked. I couldn't take either the computer or the village because of the tight blocks, there were no houses with objects. Meanwhile, Pavel got a favorable computer spawn and a ton of caches:) I had to say fold
thank you for the game

Vigo refused to play (please provide another opponent)...

Please review the tournament rules that you are participating in.
Regarding the match between bRitvo4kA and Vigo. I spoke with Andrey. Yes, he will not play.
According to the rules, a technical defeat should be awarded to player bRitvo4kA. But in reality, he could have requested a time to be set for a game with the ABSENT opponent and received a technical win for non-appearance (between August 10th and September 2nd, when Vigo appeared, there were 3 pairs of days off). This is stated in the rules. Thank you, Andrey, for avoiding a circus. Therefore, the organizers consider it fair to record the result of this match as 0(t) - 0(t), as if it did not take place. Player bRitvo4kA agrees. Does player Vigo have any objections?

Also, as in the Favorites tournament, I have slightly rephrased the rules for rematches:

for Jebus cross and 8mm6 instead of
- Mandatory rematch on slow paths.
now
- Rematch on slow paths. It is taken at the request of at least one of the opponents immediately after map generation.

for 8mm6 instead of
- Mandatory rematch if the only path leads to the treasure guard (in the base, the wording is: A rematch is also possible on a strong block if no other rematches are available. Whether a strong block is strong enough is determined by mutual agreement of the players or by the judges.) or if one of the players cannot get a path out of the castle (castle in an open field, a very rare case).
now
- Rematch at the request of the player whose only path leads to the treasure guard. It is taken on the day this fact is discovered, but no later than day 114.
- Rematch on a strong block that cannot be bypassed, at the request of the player who owns this block. Whether the block is strong enough is determined by mutual agreement of the players or by the judges. It is taken on the day this fact is discovered, but no later than day 113.
- Rematch at the request of the player who cannot get a path out of the castle (castle in an open field, a very rare case). It is taken immediately after map generation.

Player Vigo has no objections. The only thing I would ask you to help me with, dear Moderator, if it's not too much trouble, is to please tell me who I should play against – because after the concussion, I'm a bit slow on the uptake.

The player Vigo has no objections.

Thank you for the quick response.
So, in the match bRitvo4kA vs Vigo, a technical result of 0(t) - 0(t) is recorded, as if the match had not taken place.

And our results after 3.5 rounds look like this:
bRitvo4kA: 0 1 0 1 1 0 0(t) (3 + 0(t) out of 7) - final tournament result! Respect for the speed!
Dubrovin Pavel: 0 0 0 0 0 1 (1 out of 6)
NumOne: 1 1 0 1 1 (4 out of 5)
Mizrael: 1 0 1 1 0 (3 out of 5)
Javdet: 1 0 0 1 0 (2 out of 5)
Wlk777: 1 1 0 1 (3 out of 4)
LeBron: 0 1 0 (1 out of 3)
Vigo: 0(t) (0(t) out of 1)

The only thing I would ask you to help me with, dear Host, if it is not difficult for you, is to please tell me who I need to play against - because after the concussion, I am a little slow to think :(

Easy. I know the rules, I wrote them myself.

... The tournament is held in a round-robin system. Each of the eight best players plays against each other. This results in 7 matches. ... You can play in any order.

You need to play against the following participants: Dubrovin Pavel, NumOne, Mizrael, Javdet, Wlk777, and LeBron.
The deadline is until November 29, inclusive.
At the moment, you should have already played 3 matches. That is, you owe matches 2 and 3 against LeBron and NumOne. Your opponents have the right to request that a time for the game with you be scheduled for the weekend. So far, no one has contacted me.

Player Vigo has no objections.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake after the concussion :(

Vitalik enthusiastically took on the role of coach? :)

Yeah, he hits his head with a dumbbell and says, "Learn to play, or I'll get tired of winning for you!" :)

It's all funny, but also a bit sad.
Just so you know, the AC will be reviewing the saves from all your games. Please don't take it personally, but that's what we're here for, as there have been quite a few "disputed" matches lately.
Good luck in the tournament, and I hope we can avoid any arguments. ;)

says "learn how to play, otherwise I'm tired of winning for you!" :)

Well, since the topic has come up, I finally want to ask directly: is it true that sometimes, in important tournament matches, player Vitalik plays for Vigo? (Question for both of them)
Possible answers are roughly:
1) Well, it happens sometimes, so what?
2) It never happened and never will, it's complete nonsense.
I suspect that both will choose the second option, but if it turns out that it is incorrect, won't this be grounds (considering the deception in the form of denying this) for taking measures against the deceivers? (in the form of another disqualification so that the second friend doesn't feel bad)
There are plenty of reasons for such suspicions.
P.S. I remain of the opinion that a cheater and a deceiver are the same thing. Therefore, in my understanding, Vigo is a cheater.
P.P.S. Please don't delete this post, how long can we keep hiding the truth? :confused:

Well, where would we be without your emblem? Otherwise, it would be boring :)

Well, where would the fun be without your little tag? Otherwise, it would be boring :)

Firstly, basic politeness requires an answer to the question I already asked. Just for general knowledge. Now, here's what, gentlemen Vigo and Vitalik, try to come down from the clouds and understand that people who play Heroes are generally not stupid; trying to deceive them in a crude way is risky. They will understand. And they already have. One has already received his deserved
Champion of Champions, and in my opinion, the second deserves it just as much; it's just a matter of time. You don't just permaban someone on friendly resources, I'm sure. So, essentially, everything is already clear; the question of Mr. Vigo's participation in this tournament is predetermined if everything is fair (no one has played against him in the final, at least). Personally, I refuse to play against him publicly (+1 to Britva). Do whatever you want with me, but I won't give up my opinion.

No enemy retalliation ? =)

Vigo (blue, Rampart, Kirry, Kirry) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Castle, Valeska, Craig Hack) 2SM4D(3) 215

We chose our rests and started.
Torosar arrived. On the second day, he worked hard, breaking through 46 goblin dogs for entry into the metro and 64 harpies at the underground exit. A Necromancer secondary town was spotted.
By 113, there were 7 heroes and the same secondary town was taken.
By the end of the week, a Barbarian secondary town also appeared; I built birds there, while horses are in the Castle. Kirry barely fought, so she is only level 3, but I see potential for leveling up.
By the end of the second week, Kiryukha became 4.9.3.5. I didn't build dragons; instead, I developed the Barbarian castle and built wyverns with a citadel in the swamp secondary town, income 5000.
The next week was disastrous; I ran around the desert, lost all troops from two weeks, and only accumulated 28 wyverns and level 17. Many battles were completely unnecessary :( .
At 142, the first Dragon Utopia with 4 gold dragons; they gave a good haul — sentry shield, titan armor, and some same small stuff. Plenty of money, and then Craig flew in; luckily he didn't quite reach the capital, where all the wood growth is 25, fights, elves. I buy all this up and go to the second Dragon Utopia; there was a titan gladius, water book and water enhancements, + level 5 hat. Now it's time to reclaim the capital; Craig flew off somewhere and didn't return for a long time, Kirya waited and gradually cleared everything around, learned all earth magic and became mobile. Later I managed to catch Craig in the treasury.
Kirry 23.25.18.8 30 silver pegasi, 5 green dragons, 3 angels, 53 monarch wyverns, 30 gr. wood, 60 lizards, 12 war horses

Craig 18.12.15.15 53 shooters, 25 gold golems, 3 angels, 25 champs, 24 wyverns, 34 crusaders, 17 royal griffins
Thanks to the explosion, Kirya took the upper hand.
Thanks Pasha for an exciting game!

Vigo (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Castle, Valeska, Crag Hack) 2SM4D(3) 215

We chose restart and began.

Thanks to Pasha for the exciting game!

That's what happened.

In the first week, I took Horse Ranch, 3 Peaks, Medusa Lair on 6, and after 2 blocks of Archers, I took a secondary Conflux. Horses in the Citadel.

In the second week, I got into a financial crunch because I had no money, and there was nowhere else to run. I didn't want to waste days buying the Book of Magic at Conflux-Rampart, but it was a mistake, because the Naga Bank turned out to be a Maxed one, and I only managed to buy 10 Horses, which I upgraded in the Stable, a few Archers, of which I gathered a little more than 30, under 80 Pr. Centaurs, 50 Goblins. It was a mistake not to take the single Pixies instead of 50 Goblins, because there was no one to distract the Naga, and they also died at an inopportune moment. In general, without the Book of Magic and without distracting units, I lost everyone there except for 5 Champions and 30 Archers. Next, I took a Mini-Medusa Lair, a Gnomish Mine, and a Naga Bank on 4 with a large stack.

In the third week, I took a Conflux on 3, in my treasury, there were no Dwellings or Hives, except for one Hive, but I took Wings.

In the fourth week, I took Victor's Main Castle, and then I realized that there was another Swamp Treasury. Because his secondary Swamp was on the other side. I head there, but on the way to 2 Dwellings and a Fairy Enclave (there turned out to be the Sword of All, the Book of Earth and Air, and also the Crimson Sphere), I was caught and killed, because Crag was visible in the Treasury through the damn overview from Victor's 4 respawns - the Citadel. I should have found that Swamp Treasury a little earlier, but I was hoping to find goodies in the Underground, which I already found there on 1.3.3. In the end, I wasted 1 week there for nothing, instead of immediately getting to the Paradise Treasury in the Swamp.

Thanks to Victor for the interesting game!

LeBron (red, Castle, Valeska, Mephala) def NumOne (blue, Fortress, Wystan, Kyrre) 125 2sm4d(3)
2 times it dealt unplayable hands, I had to take restarts, 2 times it dealt nicely, but one time I got a 113 restart, the other time a 116 on encounter
And finally we're off. Archers are available, but only 19 were recruited because a Griffin specialist appeared; in the tavern are Mephala and Crag Hack, we level the first one. On the road stands a crowd of archers guarding a pile of sulfur — we attack them, there are 49 of them:eek: :confused: 14 archers remain. From the view tower I scout half the opponent's respawn and my own secondary Inferno — it looks promising there.
It turned out the secondary is pure gold=) enough money, external dwellings of pits, demons, and gogs, 2 lit Griffin Conservatories
Build order for week 1: cavalry in the citadel + pits in the citadel; on
121 I take the minimal Griffin Conservatory, light ships reveal another Conservatory:smile47:
122 scouting works great and another Conservatory is found!! Mephala goes there
It turned out to be a Level 3 dwelling, I take it with some losses of pikemen
123 light ships scout a 3rd Conservatory — it turned out to be Level 2 with Grecian Sirens, it could have been taken, but Mephala had to get into a fight anyway, so she takes it, light ships run to take the 4th Conservatory
124 light ships take the Level 3 dwelling, Mephala is already home, bought a spell book, has basic Slow and Haste, we boost speed on griffins not far from GO
125 I hit GO with 70+ units with Grecian Sirens, killed a few demons, I don't quite reach the opponent's capital, on the same turn he breaks in with Kyrre who has SP 10:eek:
126 I attack and win despite mass Slow and my lack of mana

Thank you for the game!
