Rules for games up to two wins.
The colors in the grid are for the first game. The template starts by selecting from the list, beginning with blue. Then, castles are selected.
In the second game, players switch colors. The template and castles are selected again.
In case of a tie (1-1) or a draw in one of the games, a third game is played on the 2SM4d(3) template. Castles are selected randomly. In the third game, the colors in the first generation are the same as in the first game. Then, the colors are switched after each subjective restart.
If neither player wins twice, the series continues, and subsequent games are played similarly to the third game – the 2SM4d(3) template, castles are selected randomly, and the colors are switched in the first generation and after each subjective restart.
Good luck!

Alright, gentlemen, shall we each chip in a hundred and guess which two teams will make it to the finals?

We need to get bookmakers interested in this; then, fixed matches will immediately start happening.

Final:
I'm betting on this pair
m2d3 vs twaryna

:

I'm betting on artbocha vs twaryna in the final.

I'll keep it simple... I'm betting on twaryna :D

egor vs m2d3
или
m2d3 vs hellight

Vinceras vs twaryna

honestly, I'd bet that Hellight-X will be in the final, with odds of 2.0. And I'd bet 2.6 on him making it out of the upper bracket.

But with the 2.6 and 3.6 odds, Pit will come along and delete everything.

To be honest, I would bet that Hellight-X will be in the final, with a coefficient of 2.0. And I would bet 2.6 on the fact that he will emerge from the upper bracket.

Too abrupt, and what about adjusting for the random number generator?

A match for a spot in the playoffs

08.08.2012 HellLighT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def RozenKran (red, Castle, Valessa) 2sm4d(3) 135

I won't go into too much detail about this intermediate match... the opponent knocked out all the restarts, I had 1 — 3 stacks came up in the underground, next to a Pandora's Box for 5k gold, foot guards, by week 1 day 1 I took the secondary Citadel and the adjacent Castle, built levels 1-4 in the main Citadel with a portal and an external dwelling for Dullahans and Bears, plus a fort in the secondary town. On the second week I spent a long time dealing with 2 Dragon Fly Hives, 1 Griffin Conservatory, and 2 mini-Naga dwellings that were scattered far apart — by the way, everything was mini except for one pre-mini Dragon Fly Hive. I quickly Experted Earth Magic, but none of the 3 Guilds had Slow. I wanted to reach the opponent by the end of the second week, but came out at the start of the third. Along the way to his main I took 2 double Griffin Conservatories. I sat in his main town, which only had Cavaliers in the Castle, but finally got Slow. I relaxed, but then Valessa came running out with 6 Angels, 120 Archers, and meatshields — her stats were twice as high as mine Oo. As inspection showed, she had no mana, and she had come over wasteland, but not far from my main town, where she was afraid to go against Shakti. There was a well. I placed several heroes to block to reduce her movement points and hit her once with Lightning Bolt... Valessa, as expected, didn't make it, crashed Shakti into the main town — doubled my mana, went back and barely won the fight, even though I immediately blocked the Archers with Angels, halving them. But the opponent's 6 Angels under Bless were like they were unblessed. On the 3rd morale they got a morale boost every turn, almost wiping out a stack of mine each time, and that damn Ballista I took for some reason was removing Blind ;). In the end, I piled on with Lightning Bolt and won. Autopsy revealed that the opponent had 5 Griffin Conservatories, a double, and right at the entrance to the nearest treasure zone, a Minotaur King with +6 All... If I had delayed the game a bit, the result would most likely have been the opposite. Thanks for the game.

Match for a playoff spot

08.08.2012 HellLighT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def RozenKran (red, Fortress, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 135

Confirmed. Good luck in the future! :smile17:

09.08.12 Vinceras (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack) def Wladysha (blue, Rampart, Kyrre) Mini-Nostalgia 242

My opponent picked 113 and we started. Standard respawn, external market, stables off the road, Dragon Fly Hive behind the fanatics, that's probably all the valuable stuff; medium roads, there's also a prison behind the minotaurs along with the shield of the dead, and from the start a skull helmet. Then the most interesting part: Necro finds a Vampire's Cloak in a cart, another scout finds a Blackshard of the Knight :smile02: and... at the edge of the bog's respawn — ribs, all in the first week :eek:. Took the dungeon, but the computer itself is still alive, bears in the castle.

Second week.

122 — Crag level 5 with expert earth :), scries home to take out the 20 King Minotaurs, and also to double the mana; the noob takes the Necro's castle, the amplifier hasn't been built.
124 — Minotaurs fell easily, in the prison Galtran level 5 with 3 stacks, offense and logistics, I'm shocked by such a jackpot; a day earlier the computer took my dungeon from me.
125 — now the Armor of the Damned is assembled, Crag goes further along the road to the bog's castle. Galtran heads to the dungeon's respawn, thankfully there's something to grab there, the main thing being 2 external minotaur dwellings, though one is behind 5-9 snipers.
Crag takes the bog, the computer is destroyed, and by the end of the week enters the treasure zone; Gosha makes skeletons to take both Dragon Utopias on time in the third week, both external minotaur dwellings are taken, and a portal — no money.

Third week.

Can't get reinforcements to Crag, he's not needed anyway; with 5 birds, 3 bears and a handful of wolves, they easily fall under 50 djinns; in the pandora's box — fire magic and 80 pegasi, I get 35 rags and experience. Then with reinforcements I break 3 rust monsters; in the pandora's box — lots of experience, I visit the library and aim for the first Dragon Utopia; the evil dungeon computer takes Necropolis.
135 — first Dragon Utopia — minimal, 350 skeletons helped a lot, as did 20 minotaurs; gave nothing good except money.
136 — second Dragon Utopia — tier 3, -70 skeletons and most importantly 3 bears, 2 left; this time it didn't sting — red orb, sword +6, chain mail +4 +4, necklace +3 all stats; Galtran dealt with the computer.

Fourth week

141 — I hit GO a hundred thunderbirds, on the other side ghosts; no first speed, have to turn back.
142 — I hit the ghosts, rather clumsily — -16 birds
Then in the central treasure zone I took another utopia; among artifacts worth noting only the second red orb. Kyrre also ended up in the center; confident in victory, I attacked with the armor; the army there was decent — about 100 demons, 18 unicorns, grand elves, but against the armor with the orb there's no chance; however, there's money for almost full buyback, which is bad.
No desire to describe further — a long chase, on 237 I took back the capital; on 242 I gathered everything I could, having 2 red orbs, Cape of Abdication, and seeing another unclaimed cloak on the map, attacked Kyrre in the castle hoping for magic.
Crag 30 22 33 19 (480) 13 bears, 80 King Minotaurs, 1880 gr. skeletons, 64 gr. wyverns and wyrmlings +3 speed, books of earth and fire, all air spells, without armor.
Kyrre 29 42 attack under 20 460 mana 4 angels, 30 pegasi, 110 unicorns, 6 bears, 66 dragons, 130 demons, 18 King Minotaurs, books of air and fire.
Immediately blocked the gates; with implosion I only managed to wipe out the dragons and bears; angels and pegasi died in battle; demons and unicorns remained under anti-magic. Kyrre shot Armageddon; in the end by some miracle I win, left with nothing, only 20 wyverns which I managed to resurrect; forfeit follows.
1-0
Thanks for the game!

12.08.12 Vinceras (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack) def Wladysha (red, Inferno, Pyre) 2sm4d3 135

Opp picked all rests and started. Respawn was so-so, but there were zombies on the grass, decided to check it out. Found 2 external archer dwellings, decided to play. 8 heroes on the first week and birds in the citadel, collected both external dwellings, found an external angel dwelling behind the mummies. Decided to take it at the start of the second week, but Crag got wiped by the mummies)), almost 100 mummies, they were easy to deal with, but oh well - lost 40 archers, 3 birds. Good thing there was also an external dog dwelling, fought with them and took the angels on day 127. On the third week, broke two level 1 and level 2 nagabanks and a level 3 cons. Then Pyre breaks the main road and oh wonder, falls 1 tile short on the fast roads to get into the castle, and on top of that without any mana, Crag catches up, mana only enough for mass haste, but opp makes a mistake and ends up accidentally losing the hero. 2-0
Thanks for the game!

I confirm, I lost the first game as planned, and the second due to inattention.
