MeFi (red, Rampart, ivor, crag) def PaulManUtd (blue, Castle, valeska, pyrre) 141/142 @ Mini-nostalgia WT

I'm disheartened. So much time and effort wasted.
I came to the opponent to decide the game in my favor, I had a big advantage, but I got a trick from the timer: in all the previous turns, when the seconds ran out, the timer paused and gave me the opportunity to move around the map without entering the Castle. This time, the turn was passed instantly, which I didn't expect. A technical glitch, and everything ended, the victory just evaporated...

Thank you to the organizers for the tournament.

The first finalist of the tournament has been determined - Sky Pioneer. You only have one match left to play, against the winner of the lower bracket. In the meantime, you have a couple of weeks to prepare ;)

Paul Man Utd and Dimast are leaving the battlefield. They were just a little short on luck. Nevertheless, you performed well and showed good results; thank you for participating.

In this round, we have one match: MeFi - gende. Can you finish it by next weekend?

MeFi (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def gende (red, conflux, gunnar) @ 2sm4d(3) 127 SoD
Fast lanes; spawn gave me: 3 Griffin Conservatories (1+2+3) + 2 Dragon Fly Hives (main + on barb-secondary), a swamp secondary + an external dwelling of Wyverns. Money spawn was extremely poor, 2 crypts and 2 Naga Banks in the deep end of the respawn + a Naga Bank in the swamp. I consumed everything except the Dragon Fly Hives by day 125; on the same day, the opponent captured my castle. On day 126 I cleared the Dragon Fly Hives (pre-max and max) and on day 127 I dismantled him in my own castle without any issues.. The opponent had a double, but he didn't take the second adjacent zone (and that was a big mistake - there were 2 Griffin Conservatories with laughable guards there). Generally, it's strange that he decided to rush - he could have farmed, he had 2 external dwellings of fishes and an external dwelling of air elementals oO
GG, Thanks for the game! =)

Fidesxfx (blue, Rampart, Mephala, mepha) def Mefi (red, Fortress, Tazar) Jebus Cross 126.
In general, Jebus is such a Jebus. We restarted everything that could be restarted and what couldn't.
It all started with me deciding to go for unicorns, but then I saw an external dwelling of dragons, so I decided to go for dragons. I take 2 external dwellings of unicorns, and on day 1 week 1 month 6 I realize I won't have enough crystals for dragons. So in principle, my army consisted of 6 unicorns left, no growth, sadness. The plan is canceled, we go for unicorns in Castle. All good, day 1 week 2 month 1 — 16 upgraded unicorns, I think about hitting GO, I have Mass Slow, but then I changed my mind (correctly, in my opinion). I turn around and head to the library and the shield +6. Finally, I take the external dwelling of dragons. Then something like facepalm began. I take the unicorns, run with a scout hero to the only hive in the respawn, set quick combat, get 4 Wyverns. I transfer everything back, and crash into the Dragon Utopia on day 1 week 2 month 5, forgetting to turn off quick combat. Voila, minus 4 unicorns. And I got exactly what Mefi got — a spell book with Fire Magic and junk; apparently the Dragon Utopias were twins. I want to take another Dragon Utopia standing nearby, but the manipulations with scout heroes wasted all the time. On day 1 week 2 month 6, Mefi surrendered. As it turned out, everything was also not great there; there were a bunch of failed fights and a poorly taken Dragon Utopia as well.
Thanks for the game.

Today is the final of the Novice Tournament. Fidesxfx vs. Sky Pioneer. Links to the streams and broadcasts will be provided soon.

Enjoy watching!

02.10.2011 Sky Pioneer (red, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) def Fidesxfx (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) SoD, 2sm4d(3), 116

We picked restarts, my 111 remained, we began.
111 - bought heroes, spread out. One path to the grass for griffins, others uncertain. Deflected the shield +4 behind a group of ice.
112 - 2 external wolf dwellings discovered immediately! All paths lead to adjacent grass castles. Conclusion - ГО off-road, high probability of a quick encounter.
113 - upgraded wolves, break through the griffins, take the Castle. Nearby, a hundred Griffins Conservatory, and a quick path to the opponent for vampires. Already 8 heroes.
114 - decided not to force it, went to break the Arch Mage guard for the path to the grass. A weak hero picked up a Pandora's box on the main behind the demons for 5000 gold.
115 - serious clash with the “vasyas”. The remaining single unit retaliated and froze the wolves, barely escaped without losing the bear.
116 - take the second Castle, break through the Orc horde for 3 passes, this is the conflux, an external dwelling of air elementals is taken, plans to cross closer to the Griffins Conservatory by the start of week 2, and from there to the opponent's respawn, to scare and disrupt their game plans. But there was no continuation, the opponent couldn't handle the guard of the Vivi's external dwelling.

Thanks for the game.

Anyway, there is a stream, so probably a waste of time writing this

Sky Pioneer, congratulations on the victory. When is the next beginner tournament? Can I sign up?

Congratulations on the victory, may there be many more to come.

Regarding the game, it wasn't as exciting as I had hoped, but a generator is a generator).

Thank you to the organizers for putting together the tournament.

Thank you all for the congratulations!
And to my opponents, thank you for the many great games.

I also want to express my gratitude to the organizers for putting together the tournament, and not just because I won. From the very beginning, this tournament seemed interesting and attracted attention, but most importantly, it was organized at a high level.

Well, it's time to summarize the results.

It’s a pity that the final game didn’t allow opponents to meet face-to-face in a merciless bloody battle, but that was the Generator’s will, and its wishes are law.

On behalf of the organizers, participants, and spectators of the “Новичок-2011. Лето” tournament, I congratulate player Fidesxfx, who took an honorable second place. You fought well, were strong and ruthless, swept everything in your path, but unfortunately, you lacked luck for the last battle. Thank you for participating.

And now let's greet our winner!
Sky Pioneer:smile49:

Having gone through fire, water, and copper pipes, you proved to everyone that you deserve the title of winner of this tournament. Once again, congratulations and best of luck in future heroic endeavors. Also, a medal will be awarded soon and placed under your avatar. Gg Wp!

I want to thank all the participants of the tournament for the interesting matches and friendly atmosphere, co-organizer Roma for his help in organizing this tournament, and the viewers and fans just for being there, watching, discussing, and supporting our participants. The tournament turned out to be quite interesting, and most importantly – it was fast. Managing with so many people in 3 months is a good result. Therefore, special thanks to everyone for their activity. Also, thank you to the streamers for covering the tournament outside the forum. And I also thank Uncle Cash for entrusting us and Roma with this tournament and helping to solve some issues.

That’s about all I wanted to say. Many great guys participated; listing them all doesn’t make sense because they all played well. Thank you all once again; see you at Новичок 2012. Зима. :smile02:

Well, the tournament was played quickly and smoothly, which is great! I hope there will be at least as many people wanting to play in the next tournament:rolleyes:
I also want to congratulate the winner, Sky Pioneer, who showed a worthy game in this tournament, as well as all the prize winners (well done, keep it up). Thank you all, and good luck on the heroic front and beyond:smile13:
so, who was complaining about overpowered players? where are they now? as always, the underdog won, and whoever tries to cause trouble in the future will get what's coming to them!

I thought it was best of three?

I thought it was best of three? ((

Probably many people thought so. The final somehow passed by unnoticed :(

Yes, it was a mistake. Feel free to criticize.

More details about Sky Pioneer's identity have emerged. This person, who has been playing on the portal for 5+ years under a different nickname and also has an account on Heroes World, registered a special clone account for this tournament. The account will be banned, and the medal will be revoked.

Therefore, the final of the tournament will be played between Fidesxfx - MeFi. Best of three.
