My main goal is to beat Scorpa :D :D :cool: :smile47:

I spoke with the administration of the "Legion" club about the computer rental costs. 500 rubles – a package for three days, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight), Friday to Sunday. If paying hourly, it's 15 rubles per hour. In my opinion, the first option is simpler and cheaper; you pay 500 rubles and can play comfortably throughout the tournament. Regarding the equipment, the keyboard and mouse seem to be working fine, but if someone prefers, they can bring their own. Both Russian and English versions are installed, and there are no glitches. If players want to, they can play on TE-light, and I can even draw the first rounds for those who want to play TE. As for entry fees, we'll play without them; it's better to play for fun. Please, don't delay and let me know about your arrival (time, train, carriage number) as soon as possible.

First news from the battlefields.
15 people have signed up so far; to make it an even number, I decided to be the 16th participant, out of competition. Since I'm meeting guests tomorrow during the day, I asked to play round 1 in advance.
Nagan-4 (blue, Fortress, Bron) def Pavel (red, Rampart, Kyrre), 136.
Good respawn, external dwellings of wyverns, gorgons, and serpents, as well as three gnoll dwellings. On 117, gorgons and wyverns in the stronghold. On weeks 2-3, hives for 8, 4, and 6 wyverns.
On 136, the final battle, 32 wyverns and 20 mighty gorgons decided it. When asked why Tazar isn't the main hero — he never answered, he just likes Bron, that's all.

Two more tournament games are currently being played:

Lexa (red, Tower, Aine) def Vicing (blue, Inferno, Pyr)
Lexa got a huge respawn, lots of stuff, including a nag dwelling. He was at work, so I don't know all the details.

Tema (red, Rampart, Kyrre) def Yama-Dharma (blue, Dungeon, Shakti), 144.

Cannabis (blue, Rampart, Kyrre) def Alexgrid (red, Dungeon, Shakti), 124.

Scorp, wait for me, I'm already on my way:smile47: :smile14: :smile14: :smile13:

:D :D :smile04: :cool:

Don't wait for me ((
I was still planning to join until yesterday evening, but real life didn't allow it. Too bad.
I'll be rooting for you all, good luck.

Round 2 matches have begun.

Lexa (red, Dungeon, Shakti) - Tema (blue, Necropolis, Galtran).
As usual, one (Lexa) has a much larger army, and the other (Tema) received the Dimension Door (blue hat with level 5 magic).
I have the impression that Galtran with Control would have decided the outcome. But what happened, happened - Lexa skillfully captured all the castles and waited until Galtran was within Shakti's attack range (there was an expert city portal). Of course, the red team won the battle. Almost all of the blue team's units were defeated, but not everything is lost; they also destroyed a significant number of Dungeon's troops with an explosion, and they still have Control. They are still playing.

Yama-Dharma (red, Rampart, Kirr) def Vicing (blue, Castle, Valeska), 134.

In my opinion, the tournament is intense, and such foresight may prove useful.

P.S.
The participants of the upcoming qualifying tournament have been determined. After all the adjustments and deliberations...
Michurinsk - Lexa, Tema, Vicing, Cannabis, Pavel, Flash, Alexgrid, Nagan-4;
Tambov - Mizrael, Scorp;
Stary Oskol - LDmitriy, Mistic;
Moscow - Yama-Dharma, Stinger;
Podolsk - PReDS;
St. Petersburg - Matrosoff;
Novgorod - Reper.

A total of 17 participants plus two or three guests. There will be action.

It seems everyone has already unsubscribed from the train topic, so I'll try to make a joke:

Scorp, wait for me, I'm already leaving:smile47: :smile14: :smile14: :smile13:

:D :D :smile04: :cool:

I'll bring a basket of kittens for you to practice on...

P.S. Good luck to everyone, and may your club be +14!

The first round is still ongoing.
Lexa (red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Tema (blue, Necropolis, Galtran), 222.

Lesha won after all, defeating his opponent.

PReDS (red, Stronghold, Kreg Hack) def Mizrael (blue, Castle, Kaitlin).
Scorp (blue, Stronghold, Kreg Hack) def Reper (red, Tower, Nella)

Only one match remains to be played.
Matrosoff (red, Fortress, Tazar) - Flash (blue, Dungeon, Shakti).

Now we will draw the remaining matches for the 2nd round.

Three participants - Stinger, LDmitriy, Mistic - can only come tomorrow, at the beginning of the 3rd round. We agreed with these participants that they will each receive two conditional draws (i.e., one of the two possible points in total, and their chances of being in the top three remain).

I bought the tickets. I will arrive tomorrow at 10:00.

Matroskin suggests arriving at the station that is further away.

The long-distance train station – Michurinsk-Voronezh.
I won’t be able to meet you – at 10:00, all participants will finally gather together, and we will hold the draw at 10:00.
The easiest way to get to the club is to take a taxi near the station and give the address of the “Legion” club – Kommunisticheskaya Street, 51.

6. Pavel def Cannabis.

The last match of the 2nd round is being played – PReDS - Matrosoff.

Ugh, everyone played on different days – finally, tomorrow everyone will gather together, and we will have a normal draw.

2Nagan-4: Are photo/video reports planned? I think many would like to see coverage of such an event.

I haven't heard anything... who showed up, and how is the third round going? What about the draw?

Definitely! The organizer promised to prepare it personally.

All participants arrived safely. Four matches of the third round have been played so far.

1. Lexa (blue, Rampart, Kir'th) def Nagan-4 (red, Fortress, Bron), 127.
5 gnoll ambushes were really impressive; he almost immediately took a town with 2 angels and a town with 8 sprites, and on turn 116, he had three castles. But his opponent had two pegasus dwellings and a few minor dwellings and ambushes. In the battle, my army was crushed, and in the end, on week 2, there was a final assault. Excellent victory for Lexa.

2. Flash (red, Fortress, Bron) def Mistic (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson), 133.
A rather unexpected result; Sasha Flash showed excellent play.

3. Scorp (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def Yama-Dharma (red, Rampart, Kir'th), 125.
Scorp played aggressively as always.

4. PReDS (red, Fortress, Tazar) def LDmitriy (blue, Castle, Valeska), 124.

Three matches are currently in progress:
Stinger (red, Castle, Katelyn) - Tema (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson)
Matrosoff (red, Tower, Ain) - Vicing (blue, Rampart, Kir'th)
Mizrael (red, Fortress, Tazar) - Cannabis (blue, Dungeon, Shakti).

It would be nice to know the standings after 3 rounds, who is in 1st place? Do you use a Swiss-system tournament?

I couldn't keep track of all the participants based on Nagan's reports, and I didn't even see a report for the Preds-MatrosOff game, so my question is: how did these two play? Just don't tell me it was a draw :p

Stinger's participation increases interest in the tournament and makes him the main favorite. But since I don't know most of the participants, I would like to hear not only beautiful speeches but also about the action itself: who got caught speeding, who crashed with bracers :D, who made mistakes and who, on the contrary, showed a very high and almost unattainable level of play, like a master of the conservative style, à la Alex. Well, in general, I would like to read some live news about the tournament!

Oh, yes... I'm rooting for Dima MatrosOff as always!
