Apparently, there will be 8 groups of 7 players each. A total of 56 participants.
We'll distribute them into brackets and then randomize the order.

I'll put in a good word for COLORADO.
Registration was long ago, at the same time as Javdet and me - March 2008.
Grigory-Colorado taught me how to build chains, and I remembered his rule forever: "taking archers to the Dragon Utopia is the worst thing you can do" :smile48: ...
Three months later we teamed up and played as one team of three - "Colorado Beetles" - in Nagan's team tournament.
And another month later, Colorado somehow disappeared...
Then he appeared spontaneously a few times... and vanished right away...
His General gaming experience turns out to be no more than half a year.

So there should be no complaints regarding his "newbie" status.
The main thing is that he doesn't disappear again for a year or two.

madreyg, riba, KaccuaH, BloodRak, BaxaRa, WE.Pepsi.Sky, Demon13, twaryna we're waiting for your games!

Gentlemen!!! How can you not be ashamed... skill can't be drunk away!!!

COLORADO is an experienced Warrior, what kind of Novice is he, what are you talking about???!!!!

Compromising information: victories over Dietrich... Naganum... Dubrovin... Vigo... Retro FM... and so on and so forth.))

P.P.S.: I'm ready to play a test match with someone experienced so they can assess my skill level. My ICQ is in my profile. I won't throw the game, I promise.

Sanin (Tower, Neela, Galthran) def The Shevanesian (Fortress, Tazar, Tazar)
Jebus Cross

Torosar and Galthran were in the tavern right away; I decided to play Galthran, even though I had never done necromancy before and only in the second week did I understand the principle by which skeletons are raised ))
On day 114 I took a Hive, on day 117 an external dwelling of Titans.
During the second week: two Griffin Conservatories, two Hives, an external dwelling of Nagas.
On day 131 I take a Dragon Utopia, then another one. During the third week: another Griffin Conservatory, 4 Hives, 2 external dwellings of Titans and one external dwelling of Nagas. Both secondary heroes are Dungeon, with portal of summoning there, which gives either Gremlins or Nagas/Titans every other time.
On day 141 I take another Dragon Utopia, mainly for the gold: I constantly didn't have enough to buy out and upgrade all the Titans) and another Griffin Conservatory.
Day 143 I exit into the center. Although one of the ГО was breached by the opponent, and I breached the other only for the skeletons. Right at the entrance to the treasure zone I pick up a morale artifact (what a relief, the anti-morale was bothering me all game)))), the Tome of Earth, the Titan's Cuirass - the opponent kindly left all of this for me, thanks to him)) From uncollected items I also took a couple of Pandora's Boxes for experience, Angel Wings, Sphere of Air... On day 212 I approached the opponent's Castle in the treasure zone. First he attacks with a scout hero, casts Meteor Shower on my Genies, killing one Angel and several Wyverns, followed by a Fireball.
My army: 370 Greater Gremlins, 600 Skeletons, 24 Wyverns, 7 Angels, 27 Naga Queens and 17 Titans; not a single stack died in the battle (by the way, this is without growth, I simply didn't have enough gold to buy another 8 Titans and 10 Nagas). From the opponent's army, it's worth noting a stack of 50+ Wyverns. However, he didn't use the Sphere of Inhibition, so his entire army except for 4 Angels and ~100 Lizardmen was paralyzed by Berserk for three rounds and killed itself. I finished off the Wyverns with an Implosion. Tazar's combat stats were higher than Galthran's, but the advantage in army and magic decided the outcome (for instance, my Implosion hit 500 units harder than Tazar's).

COLORADO I'll submit an application and register.

Okay, thanks :)
If a miracle happens and I win the tournament, I'll give the prize to the best among the real beginners:smile43:

P.S.: Hmm... do you need save files, or will it be okay without them?:smile43:
