They didn't pick me?

I don't think it's a problem to get in touch.
Many players have Skype, and besides, there's a private messaging system here on HW.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but not everyone has it. This problem has occurred in previous tournaments, and it shouldn't be that difficult to set up an ICQ account – it takes only 5 minutes. And I'd be happy to register you right now.

Unfortunately, it is technically impossible on my computer. I am a very responsible player; you can ask the Bulgarian community. Well, if that's the case, then never mind.

You can install a virtual OS in a virtual machine (VirtualBox or VMware), give it internet access, and then install ICQ in it.

I'm ready to step in as a replacement.
I'm with sk2tv xekcep.
My Skype is OMFG.Xekcep, I'll add you on ICQ tomorrow.

The bracket (including the electronic one) has been added to the first post. I remind you that the first round must be played by Monday, inclusive (12/17/12). I will be strict with deadlines. Link to the bracket

Please clarify.

losing in the upper bracket and the lower bracket = 2 losses.

13.12.2012 LSM (red, random, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Javdet (blue, random, Fortress, Wystan, Luna) 123 2sm2c
We each took 1 rest and started.
Rampart came up. Built Dwarf Cottages. Kyrre, without elves, but with a stable near the castle. One road to ГО a day away from home. A double shooter block, 20-49 Archmagi and 50-99 Evil Eyes - not cool at all. Started doubting whether it was worth playing and decided to let the opponent think for me. After all, there was plenty of gold, a crypt, a Medusa Pond, and a Dwarf Cottage right under home, a Mystical Garden where I'd find gems if needed also nearby. Opponent decided we play.
111 - 3 heroes. We split up.
112-113 - I take the crypt, a secondary hero takes the dungeon, and immediately hit the passage to the treasury where I send a scout hero to scout and gather resources. A passage to the opponent's main is visible through 20-49 cows and 50-99 Crusaders. I scout Luna at the opponent's.
114-117 Another crypt, resource gathering, fights, and building 1-6 in the Citadel.
121 I upgrade elves, take the Dwarf Cottage, the Medusa Pond.
122 I upgrade horses. Choice: either head into the treasury or break through the cows, Crusaders, and go to the opponent, especially since Luna is there. I thought it over and chose the treasury march. The opponent hits the cows, Crusaders, and sits in the dungeon, and on my side there, omg, there's a Mage Guild where Kyrre bought a spell book.
123 I upgrade pegasi and think about whether to attack or scout around the treasury. Boost the hero, take ducks, gloves, and a couple of stat artifacts, or attack, if I can make it there of course. In the end, I chose to attack.
In the fight, luck was on my side immediately. The first magic attack on the elves was reflected by the horses' aura. I realize the opponent has no second tier, it's doable. In the end, I won the fight.
Thanks for the game.

Fell for the Moon, but it turned out to be an ambush with the tree. At the respawn, not a single pile, I only found some in the sands, which ultimately affected my build — 1-4 in the Citadel.
And the main blunder, with no markets around, was forgetting to save some resources for GM2. And I completely didn't expect the opponent to bring so much stuff on 123, and even upgrade the horses and pegs.

Thanks for the game.

Didn't gain momentum right away, but once I managed to reveal most of the respawn, I discovered a goldmine - external dwellings of pikemen, archers, and swordsmen, and on the swamp secondary an external dwelling of vivi, with even enough money to buy all of them. I couldn't decide who would be the main hero - Orrin and Deys both had claims, both were leveling well - Deys picked up Logistics and Earth, just missing Slow, while Orrin got Air, which perfectly matched the Haste scroll (though neither ended up with a full spell book). In the end, I finished the week with 1,2,4 built in the castle, with excellent prospects for the next week.

On the second week I entered my treasure zone, where there were 2 Pandora boxes giving +5k experience to Orrin - Expert Archery and Air - a strong claim for the leading role in this game. Deys, in a completely different location, was thinking about how to take the Griffin Conservatory with the gr. stack near the castle (tier 4), gathering resources to upgrade 21 crusaders, but those plans were not meant to be - from his treasure zone, the opponent broke through a portal into my secondary, I saw that his army was quite weak compared to mine, transferred everything to Orrin, and the final battle went without a chance, the matchup decided it, thanks for the game.

12/14/2012 bubuch (blue, random, Swamp, Gervulf, Jeditta) def BlooDy)DriVeR (red, random, Rampart, Kairie, Ivor) 124 skirmish
The opponent surrendered on the first turn; it seems there were no other options. In the end, he capitulated. I have a level 1 unit in my 117th slot, but by turn 124, the parameters had increased to 0 1 7 7, with an expert in fire and wisdom, a ranged attacker at 100, and an ice attacker at 150. Plus, the respawn points were full of wells....
Thanks for the game!!!

Opponent gave up on the first turn, then it seemed there were no options, resulting in a surrender. At 117 I had a level 1 stack, but by 124 the parameters had grown to 0 1 7 7, expert fire and wisdom, archer at 100 and ice bolt at 150, and the respawns were full of wells...
Thanks for the game!!!

Confirmed, thanks for the game!

It was a close match, with a slightly unfavorable outcome.
