Oh, oh, oh, why play like that?:smile04:

based on priority :)
I like earning money more than playing Heroes:smile47:

So, what's the deal with the tournament for 19-27? :D

For now, this is the only application for additional rounds. To play, you need to gather at least a minimum group of 3 people :smile30:

Question for the organizers or judges regarding the further seeding of players... Will it really be random (i.e., drawing names from a hat to determine who plays whom)? Or is it up to your discretion?

In the second round, there will be 6 groups of 3 people. The first 6 people will take their first seeding position in different groups; these are the players who advanced from the first places in the first round, according to priority:
1. Clean 2 wins (without technical wins or draws)
2. 2 wins (one technical win is possible)
3. Time played in the group (i.e., the first 6 players who play and win both games; in case of a tie in time, the time played in the first game is considered)
The remaining 12 people will be randomly distributed into groups.
So, on July 13, 2012, in the morning, we will summarize the results of the first round. For all games not played on time, both players will receive a technical defeat. If your opponent does not respond, you can contact me and report the situation; in this case, only your opponent will receive a technical defeat.

Four groups have played their games on time; the results are:

Players RozenKran, MaxGor, SVAROG take the first seeding positions in the first 3 groups.

Players darkello, JustObserver, marader-kisa, Егор Коробейников, m2d3 also advance to the second round, but will be randomly assigned to groups.

The eliminated players are joined by my_wild_desire. 2 games is, of course, not enough, but we hope that these first tournament games have ignited a competitive fire in you, and we will see you in the next season!

Group #2 HellLighT, kinger: please report on the situation with player Kor-Faenon.
Group #5 Pyre, artbocha, ShadowManiac: what's the problem, why is there silence???
Group #6 twaryna - hunter98: I hope to see the result of the match?
Group #7 Vinceras - d0mino

d0mino, I hope you show up before the end of the round?

The application is accepted; d0mino will receive a technical defeat in case of absence.
Group #8 Wladysha-DiGGeR. I'm also waiting for the result of the game!!!

Group #6 twaryna - hunter98, I hope to see the result of the match?

Yes, I lost, they will post it soon.

We still haven't found the time to play with ShadowManiac.

Where is the detailed report with the results?

Where is the detailed report with the analysis??? :(

I have no inspiration to write; I'm confused about the zones, and my opponent rage-quit during the treasure phase. Nothing interesting happened. :)

Yes, I lost, but they'll post it soon.

He played well, though:o He really put on a good show.

at least he played well:o He really put on a good show.

Glad you enjoyed our game! I'm also very happy that I played with Twaryna, and we played almost equally, but the opponent's skill ultimately decided the outcome. I just didn't take advantage of the moment when I could have easily killed him with lightning and stats...:)

Glad you enjoyed our game! I was also very happy to play against Tvarina, and we were pretty evenly matched, but the opponent's skill ultimately made the difference. I just didn't take advantage of the moment when I could have easily killed him with lightning and stats... :)

He had a significantly better respawn rate, plus he could retreat after slightly damaging your army. :smile15:

I don't want to clutter the thread because there are many possible scenarios... ;)

Regarding the player Kor-Faenon, I explained everything in ICQ today. If you need more details, please see below: - At the beginning of the turn, in response to my question: "When is it convenient for you to play?", he replied: "Actually, almost any time"; - We agreed on Saturday, June 30th, at 11:00 Moscow time; - We played for an hour and a half, then the opponent had an emergency and needed to leave for an hour, so we paused; - An hour and a half later, the opponent appeared (it turns out he was playing at work and had to leave); - Another hour and a half later, the opponent said that he should probably go home now :(; - I immediately asked if he could finish the game at home. The opponent replied that he could, but a little later (it takes him an hour to get home, then eat, drink, rest, etc.); - I asked him to message me when he was ready to finish the game from home; THAT'S IT. After that, he simply disappeared :( He doesn't answer questions in ICQ, and the same on the forum. If you need the save files from our game, I can upload them. We stopped at turn 125.

12.08.2012 Wladysha (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def digger (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) 2SM4d(3) 136
at the start the gold was so-so, but I spotted an external dwelling of Rocs, a Griffin Conservatory, and a Dragon Utopia near the castle. Tazar came as the second hero, week 1 gold farming, secondary hero building Rocs in the Citadel and capturing the external dwelling, on week 2 squeezing gold, Kyrre runs through stat boosters, on day 132 capturing 2 Griffin Conservatories, on day 133 capturing the Dragon Utopia, and on day 134 breaking through the GO of Black Dragons and to the opponent, + ideal stats for Kyrrus as a warrior )

Confirming. I got a good secondary town, so I decided to play, but on the third day, I saw my opponent had Gosh with an angel. I spent the entire first week on edge, looking for money to build up my defenses. In the second or third week, I got 3 cons, totaling 8 angels. I went into the Treasury, but I rushed, miscalculated my strength, and lost. Thanks for the game.

12.08.2012 Wladysha (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def .DiGGeR. (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) 2SM4d(3) 136
at the start gold was so-so, but I spotted an external dwelling of unicorns, a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia next to the castle. Tazar came as the second hero, week 1 gold farming, secondary building unicorns in the Citadel and taking the external dwelling, week 2 squeezing gold, Kyrre runs for stats, on 132 taking 2 Griffin Conservatories, on 133 taking the Dragon Utopia, and on 134 breaking through the GO of black dragons and to the opp, + ideal stats for Kyrre as a fighter)

And so it was in the elves' woods...
And on the snowy expanses...
We played ourselves down to Rampart, Inferno and Tower. Opp took elves. Had to choose from what was left. After a couple of tech restarts for Inferno in Dungeon, I decided to continue with Tower (to be sure to play in the fresh air). Took 112, while opp took 111 After that we started...
111 Scattered into five heroes. Revealed a Pandora's Box - 10k experience (which turned out to be fateful), Dwarf Cottage - 15, two Medusa Hives, and an external dwelling of mages for 50+ Evil Eyes (which also guarded a Ring of the Traveler). Took a pre-max Crypt.
112 Jumped to the GO. Found a couple of Crypts there. Respawn turned out to be big. The road to the secondary was guarded by 46 treacherous Pegasi, guarding that Pandora's Box :mad:
113 Took those Crypts by siege for 2500 and 1500 rubles. Found Boots of Speed (in the thickets), another external dwelling of mages and an external dwelling of Giants, guarded by 20+ Gorgons (well there was also a hatchet +2 and all sorts of stuff). Construction is steadily moving toward Nagas in the Citadel
114 Grendan takes the external dwelling of mages, and Nella returns to the capital. So much gold I don't know what to do with it. Could have even split to not lose tempo.
115 A choice arises: Hit 20+ Pegasi for the Pandora's Box or 20+ Gargoyles for the Cape +2+2. In principle, both opened the passage to the secondary. Decided to take a risk and attacked the Pegasi
GG no RE The kingdom was left guarded by one Gremlin :smile52: Didn't want to surrender (maybe opp also gets wiped to zero). Decided to continue, maybe the Pandora's Box holds the key to victory :smile01:
116-117 Due to lack of stone, had to build a market (if I hadn't wiped I'd easily have secured a piece). In the end, Nagas in a Fort. 7 heroes and zero prospects
121 Finally killed those Pegasi and leveled up on the Pandora's Box to level 10
122-125 Running to the secondary. Scouts report the path won't be short
126 Reached the Inferno secondary. Not enough money for anything anymore, although the respawn is full of Crypts, Dwarf Cottages, a couple of external Gargoyle dwellings and an external Genie dwelling
127 Giants barely stood in the castle. With full mana I split to the capital and run to take the external dwelling of Giants
131 No money left for recruiting anymore. Besides, Eova was two moves short of reaching the Dwarf Cottage. Had to have Nella wait a day.
132 Took the external dwelling of Giants. Just don't have enough money to recruit the rest of the army. Not to mention upgrades. No Griffin Conservatories, no Dragon Utopias and only one Dragon Fly Hive somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
133 Running to the neighboring respawn hoping to find something
134 Opp broke through the GO of 20+ red dragons and is charging to capture me :rolleyes:
Split back home
135 Opp didn't risk attacking the castle and went to kill the Evil Eyes, which for some reason were still alive. But couldn't take the Ring of the Traveler. I decided not to drag out this perversion. Gathered all my belongings and attacked in the last seconds
FB one way - no comments :smile15:
Thanks for the game...

HellLighT, kinger are getting technical support regarding player Kor-Faenon.
artbocha-ShadowManiac, your only game is delaying the draw. I'm setting the score to 0-0, as I understand that both are at fault for the scheduling conflict.
Vinceras is getting technical support regarding player d0mino.

All other games have been played, well done:smile20:

twaryna and Wladysha join the top qualifying spots, and last place, 6th, is taken by player Vinceras, who, despite having one victory, played the first game of the first round first.
06/30/2012 Vinceras (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def GoedenDag (red, Castle, Valia, Valia) 2sm4d3 131

Players HellLighT, kinger, Pyre, artbocha, hunter98, GoedenDag, .DiGGeR. advance to the second round with random group assignments.

It's a pity that players d0mino, ShadowManiac, Kor-Faenon are leaving after these defeats. :smile32:

We won't postpone the draw until tomorrow. We'll do it today if possible.
