Shak is clearly stronger; here, two factors played a role: the opponent made mistakes, and Direal got lucky. In principle, with a bit of luck, she can defeat many. For example, the Cursed Wyverns landed favorably. The only thing I don't understand is why he didn't attack the Ballista but the Tent instead, since the Ballista is quite strong for Shak, while the Tent only heals or kills three times.

I just didn't think that the ballista would be a big hindrance, and I've only recently started playing, so I don't know everything yet.

It was a day of unbelievably bad defeats. When luck and fighting spirit turn away from you. It all started when Denis's Dire defeated my Raven, and I didn't save the game. If I had known how it would end, I would definitely have saved it. Then came a series of close defeats, what a streak of bad luck! :D And even though I played correctly, I rewatched the replays and saw that in some places I could have played more carefully, for example, in the Lethos-Ossir match with witches, I could have hit the Ents diagonally at the end to avoid a possible berserk. And finally, Erin won against Karl. It's important to play correctly and fight in every match until the end, regardless of whether you're lucky or not, while maintaining clarity of thought, of course.

I'll provide feedback on the replays.
The game between Ravenna and Daleb turned out that way simply because Rava had to kill the ballista with her first spell, but she didn't, and if you're going to debuff, weakening is more effective against demons than vulnerability. In the end, she was indeed a little unlucky.
Jalib against Dira - Dira against Jalib is difficult without a Phoenix. Enchanting arrows is tempting, but it usually ends in defeat.
And my replay against nik591989. I got lucky, and my opponent helped me out in the end.
Jalib's tactics against Helmar. It often works to win against average players. If there was even a minor artifact on someone that provided magic resistance, it would be easier. Helmar should only burn with balls; they deal more damage than walls and consume less mana.

The Erin-Dwarf battle is instructive. Regarding Helmar-Jalib, it's necessary to deploy single mage units to remove magic from Helmar. In general, there are few chances if Jalib doesn't just stand there, but instead runs ahead with all his units.
Karli-Iris, as I already mentioned, suffers from an underestimation of Nick's ballista, which decimated his entire army. In general, it's strange (understandable, given the dynamics), with many small mistakes on both sides, such as the infrequent use of stunning at the beginning, incomplete rune sets on the troops, and the knights running across the entire map, away from strong archers, who were then easily killed.
I'll also give it a 2. Many people don't like Shaq, but I do; I don't consider him a stupid hero. I often play him against all the demons and believe he will be stronger. However, it's difficult against Marbas, but strangely, he often kills Nimue.

Here are some of the most interesting battles from the latest tournament. 1. Shak-Ravena. Filal vs. Philosopher. This battle was probably the key one. I forgot to cast Slow for one turn, but then I remembered)). 2. Letos vs. Nimus. Is Letos really stronger here, or did the opponent's mistakes play a role? 3. Letos vs. Daedra. I heard somewhere that Daedra is a counter-hero to Letos. After this battle, I have doubts. As always, I would appreciate it if more experienced players could point out my mistakes:D. And finally, a question: Are DOMOVOY and dexterwar the same person or different people?:confused: I've heard both versions.

and finally, a question: are DOMOVOY and dexterwar the same person or different:confused: I've heard both versions.

there was also the account chudo_udo ;) and there were others before.

I still think they are different, as I know them personally. Regarding Letos, I'll say this: a random hero has from 60 to 105 mana. When he gets 60 mana, it's a fairly average hero; when he gets 105, he's the strongest hero on the server (Orson, for example, immediately becomes a loser against him, etc.). So, calculate what the chances are when they have 75 and 90 mana, respectively.

Jalib-Helmar was recently tested in a couple of matches, and he didn't win a single one:smile35:. So, all the victories on the server are due to opponents who play even worse than I do:D. In the Karlie - Iris pairing, I didn't really expect to win, but the unkillable ballista turned the tide, so I got lucky.
I'll post two more replays: Dirael vs. Nimus and Shaq vs. Helmar. By the way, I also like Shaq, but only until a Shaq vs. Shaq mirror match happens...

The six most undesirable heroes in a random game:
1. Garuna
2. Hagesh
3. Axel
4. Erin
5. Razazak
6. Dyraelle
All of them are highly dependent on morality or luck. No matter how the opponent plays, the absence of these two factors ruins the game.

Here, for example, in that game I was telling you about, Dira completely dominates Airu, and I wouldn't say that Dira had a lot of luck or critical hits; it was more within the normal range (although, I did get slightly more luck than usual), while the opponent... well, the opponent was just an opponent.

Watched the match; the opponent played very poorly, without any strategy. The Crystal start is great! Just for fun, set the AI to play and try to win against it; it will show you how to play this matchup correctly. There's no need for Iris to play beautifully, just push forward with everything, even flying units; you don't need to. Just defend in the beginning with swordsmen, archers, and avoid the Crystal. Honestly, if you encounter Cursed Gryphons, it's rare, but there's a chance to win, of course. Here, check out the battles against an opponent with a 3k rating on Ubers.

To be honest, your new padawan's gameplay didn't impress me much either, sorry about that. He played stronger than pagana, of course, but he's still far from Roma. Of course, with time, he'll gain experience and stop me in some tournament).

I'll post two games – Erin versus Shaka and Razzak versus Viti. In the first game, the opponent didn't play very well, and the arena was favorable. In the second game, the opponent also wasn't strong, and Razzak was lucky to remove the vampire ability from the griffons twice. By the way, Razzak could have played much better if he hadn't wasted the archmages' mana too early and made other minor mistakes.

By the way, Razak could have played much better if he hadn't wasted the archmages' mana too early, and he also made several minor mistakes.

Quite strange replays, for example, I didn't see the storm of thunderbirds (I didn't watch it completely, maybe it was there). And, in my opinion, teleporting to the thunderbirds is much more effective for Razak.
