Posts from Club championship of the CIS countries (final).

Hello everyone from sunny Kyiv! :) Here's a quick update from the scene. Round 1 has started, the pairings are: 1. Wowa-Roland, 8mm6. 2. Mee-Merlyn, 8mm6. 3. =Stinger=-Neoandy, Jebus. 4.

Unfortunately, Forrest and Marcon couldn't make it (they're sick :( ). P.S. I've already seen some interesting things, like people trying to rush the Hive on map 111, so it's going to be fun:smile01:! P.P.S. We'll try to organize some videos and photos tomorrow...

Guys, I wish everyone good luck... And since I couldn't make it after all – like everyone else, I'm eagerly awaiting photos and at least brief stories from the event!

In the morning, we sat in a cafe until the tournament started, chatting. We discussed Samurai and how interesting his prediction would be (we had no doubt that it would happen :)).
Samurai didn't disappoint – everyone had a good laugh :D
I wonder, are there ever matches with a score of 1.45 - 1.45?

Matrosoff didn't come either :(
Bayazet is arriving today after 3:00 PM, and Vitalik is arriving early tomorrow morning. They will play tomorrow, with the 1st and 2nd rounds happening simultaneously.

We decided not to delay Mikogo's match, so we can start earlier and free up the evening – people need to rest after their travels. We'll try to get Mikogo connected today, and tomorrow we'll try to set up some viewing options.

I wonder if there are any 1.45 - 1.45 versions of the game.

I copied it incorrectly, I fixed it 3 minutes after the post.

It feels like Samurai is losing to Fortress. He used to be old:smile41:. He was Alex:smile41:. Maybe he was someone else too. Now he'll try his luck with Fortress:D))))). But you're boring, like Philip Booker:smile33:. Everything is so straightforward:smile35:. But good on you for supporting the balance:smile44:))).

P.S. I'm betting 300 rating points on Stinger from the WT chat:smile02:))))). I'm even willing to bet under 1.3.
I'm rooting for the winged one:smile24:. He promised he'd try his best to win:smile49:.
But it's not about who wins:smile13:. The main thing is to relax and enjoy yourselves:smile54::smile36:. And let the heroes be like fuel:smile23:.
Greetings to everyone, good luck, and may you find harmony:smile12:.

For now, it seems like the first week is coming to an end for everyone. There was a funny situation in Pete's game against Cobra – they somehow managed to agree on a draw right after the match started :D, on a map where draws are practically impossible, and Vik had even checked the map beforehand. There was an interesting game on Jebus between Neo and Stinger; it was a close match, and I can't even say who had the advantage, it was interesting to watch both of them.

Let there be Trance! Let there be Trance! :D

Almost simultaneously, three matches ended: Roland (Castle, Valeska) defeated Vova (Tower, Thorosar) 132 Stinger (Swamp, Tazar) defeated Neoandi (Barbarian, Kreg) 136 Preds (Dungeon, Shakti) defeated Alone (Barbarian, Mephala) 142 Medium (Conflux, Moner) defeated Napalm (Dungeon, Shakti) 134 Lеха (Tower, Ciel) defeated Volodymyr (Swamp, Tazar) 213 Pit (Rampart, Kir) vs. Cobra (Dungeon, Shakti) was the final match; Cobra retreated without troops, and Pit's troops are all intact. The game continues. The others are also approaching the final, although Smka's game is shorter than Hlok's...

winged, don't relax too much. And everything will be fine.

Highlight of the day:
Kobra takes the Dragon Utopia:
Stinger: "if you had only waited in the same spot in the Dragon Utopia, you would have lost less))"
Kobra surrendered))
Aldegir-Peterius draw))

There is so much to tell:
Like how Merlin Mi cast spells with his skeletons standing on the table))
And how Vic singles out every TE player and considers SOD players just a simple gray crowd)))
And how at 8 AM I was riding Stinger, Predsa, Oxygen, and Blood in an elevator in the wrong building))
And how we compared whose escalator was longer in the metro))

But the main thing is that you just had to be a part of it all)))
Therefore, I suggest to the guys who live or are currently in Kyiv to stop by 8 Shota Rustaveli (Palats Sportu metro station), Matrix club, and simply watch the games and chat with truly significant and wonderful people!!!
I am proud that I was and will be a part of this)))

Hey, don't tease me :) My dream is to participate in a "live" tournament someday, somewhere.

I won't stop)))
When Stinger hits 40 with a level 111 Gargoyle and takes the Hive as if it's supposed to be that way, a smile appears on your face, realizing that it's actually quite simple)))

Everyone on the first week, if there was a mini-contest somewhere, reaches level 117 on an Angel))

Some people complete it in 24 minutes and 37 seconds, clearing half the map)))

And some, after 3 bottles of beer, defeat their opponent and ask for more)))
P.S. Fun fact: Czech beer costs 16 Russian rubles here)))

Quote of the day:
Cobra takes out a Utopia:
Stinger: "If you had just waited in Utopia, you would have lost less))"
Cobra surrendered))

We are waiting for detailed reports and papal streams :smile41:
