CTPAHHuK (Academy) lost to Havr (Necropolis) with a score of 0:2. There was chaos in the battle. The theft of spells along with the Ring of Constancy. Many spellcasters. But the heroes fell quickly. And Havr's mage managed to hold out and control the battle. The imps scratched me up. Oh dear. Thank you for the game!

Game 2
CTPAHHuK(Order) lost to Havr(Death)
Good army and artifact setup. Both stacks of imps, a full stack of cerberuses, venoms + mummies, a full stack of devils. Artifacts: Book of Order, a level 3 book, and a centaur spear. Speed potions in the forge.
I'm leveling up Expert Nature tactics and a mage for the book. In general, I won the battle with my book. I used mass speed on the first turn after waiting, and hypnosis on almost 800 halflings, also after waiting (thanks to the speed potions, I moved after the opponent's mage). However, the halflings somehow lost the bonuses from their own tactician while under hypnosis and didn't receive bonuses from mine either. Therefore, after the immobility effect was removed from the tactician, the imps, who had moved faster, didn't quite reach him. But there were others who could finish him off, and then the cerberuses finished off the mage. The opponent's mages did manage to poison my tactician, and he died. But the Grand Order with the book survived, and it was just a matter of technique to bring him to victory.

0-2

Thanks for the game!

CTPAHHuK VS Havr
It seems like you guys had a real battle going on, judging by the length of the matches :D

Added 2 minutes later
Are there any recordings? I wouldn't mind taking a look :)

OptiMAL vs NRXIA R AK 0:4
The opponent put up a good fight in two games, especially in the third, where we both got chariots. But the fourth game was given away without a fight.

Thanks to him for the games and good luck!
At the request of the organizer, I'll clarify the matchups:
Game 1. OptiMAL - Death, NRXIA R AK - Order. I played through a Life Mage because I had chariots. The battle went something like this: the opponent cast Dispel, I got into the chariot, and 900 gnomes with nagas crushed everyone. 0:1
Game 2. OptiMAL - Chaos, NRXIA R AK - Chaos. We both played with assassins and Dispel. The deciding factor was that he didn't develop his tactics well; he made a second Death GM and piled up tactics, so in the end, his 5 Death Knights and 120 medusas couldn't take down a single one (of my 4) Death Knights, plus he positioned himself in a square formation. My Death Knights, with tactics, took down both heroes at once... 0:2
Game 3. The most interesting one! :) OptiMAL - Order, NRXIA R AK - Life. He played through a Life Mage, and so did I. Chariots against chariots, we were running around. He managed to reduce the attack of my angels, and I managed to take down one of his Greater Golems with four hundred archers. In the last turn, I cast Global Morale on my chariot, and that decided the game, although the opponent gave me a hard time, blinding 3 of my stacks (pikemen - 150, crossbowmen - 30, and 200-300 squires). But it all ended well; thanks to the fact that I snuck in tactics so that no one could touch him, while his tactics fell quickly. 0:3
Game 4. The heroes weren't very good. OptiMAL - (apparently beavers), NRXIA R AK - Nature. However, I had a ring that gave a bonus to summoning and a Muller's Helmet, and there were almost no monsters to choose from. So, we could play. The opponent conceded the game without a fight, and I thank him for that. 0:4

PS: I didn't take any restarts at all.
Thanks for the lesson.

Asylum defeated Necropolis 1:2
I managed to snatch one point. It was a very powerful lineup. The entire army immediately rushes forward – initiative and a small amount of morale allowed it (see the screenshot below). The battle video is saved here. A funny moment: after the first hit, the tactician has 7 HP left, my mage has no spells for area-of-effect damage, no chain lightning, no Inferno, no Armageddon. By the way, he also doesn't have speed, to give a boost to the ifrits, who might try to kill Havr's order unit a second time. The fun continues with the tactician when my tactician tries to finish him off with a bow, but only deals 6 damage out of 7 HP. Anyway, I managed to turn things around and win!

Asylum lost to Stronghold 1:3
Even my last restart didn't help here. Before the restart, there was a nature faction without any strong units and with the Book of Chaos, which was quite useless in this situation, especially with Havr having a good lineup. As it turned out later, he had Devils, Venom, the Book of Order, and, I think, even a robe. After the restart, my order faction with a weak guild in the castle, various mirrors, and without teleport, ended up in the final without its own magic and with low morale. On the other side, there was +10 happiness, and the Rocs and Stone Golems immediately took down the weak tactician, who was briefly waiting for a sanctuary in the corner of the battlefield. Without the tactician, I hid in the sanctuary, but it wasn't possible to get out of it, as the morale was at its maximum there, while on my side, there was only despair. You can watch the video here.

It was a great hunt! Too bad it was on me, not by me. Thanks for the games! Beat Shnurov, beat him :smile12:

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs :)

Game three
CTPAHHuK(Chaos) def Havr(Death)
After exchanging heroes, the Chaos side took the lead. Before dying, the Haven player only managed to hypnotize a stack of ifrits. If he had another turn, there might have been a chance.

1-2

Game four
CTPAHHuK(Order) lost Havr(Might)
The restarts are over, we're playing with what we have. No magic, except for a level 1 spellbook for the Barbarian, but good artifacts. We have a mullah and a medal +2 for 4000. I upgraded one almost fully skilled tactician and a tank with good tactics as well. Thanks to moral artifacts, the troops had full morale and +6 for the heroes. The fast, morale-boosting troops took over.

1-3

Thanks for the games!

Since Norwin hasn't shown up yet, we'll have to set up the tech requirements and start the playoffs.
I'll summarize everything in the evening.

It’s a pity that Norvin disappeared somewhere, but seven can't wait for one. Therefore, I will assign technical defeats to him in the remaining games. However, since the rather important game between Norvin and Hunter was scheduled only for the fifth round, Norvin still has some time to play it, as well as the game with GodenDag or at least make himself known. This is because the participant of the lower bracket still needs to wait for his opponents. So, let's go over everything in order. Group Stage Statistics Playoff Bracket I explain the mechanics: 1) All playoff matches are played up to 3 wins, except for the Grand Final. 2) Losers from the upper bracket fall into the lower bracket. For example, the loser in the Zybr vs CTPAHHuK (or SFW1 - SemiFinal Winners 1) pair falls into the lower bracket against NRXIA R AK. 3) Losers in the lower bracket are eliminated from the competition. 4) The winners of the lower bracket semifinals face each other in the small final of the lower bracket. 5) The winners of the upper bracket semifinals face each other in the small final of the upper bracket. 6) The loser in the small final of the upper bracket falls into the lower bracket in the big losers’ final. 7) The big losers’ final is played between the winner of the small final of the lower bracket and the loser of the small final of the upper bracket. The winner of the big losers’ final returns to the upper bracket, where they will play in the Grand Final with the winner of the small final of the upper bracket. 8) The loser of the big losers’ final receives 3rd place in the tournament. 9) The Grand Final (upper bracket) is played up to 4 wins and starts with a score of 1-0 in favor of the winner of the small final of the upper bracket.
We will play the Upper Bracket Semifinals until the end of the week. If there are any time problems, please let me know. And also inform your opponent.

Nature - efficiency 29.41%
That's what I was saying :)

Added after 11 hours 54 minutes
Sorry for the off-topic, but maybe someone wants to play a quick game before the main matches? It's hard to find an opponent these days. I don't really feel like playing Heroes 4 until the next tournament.

Semifinal of the upper bracket

CTPAHHuK (Academy) lose Хозяин (Academy) 0:1
The order collapsed on both sides. My armor-piercing army of dwarves, golems, nagas, and titans couldn't do anything effective against the opponent. Хозяин was better prepared for the battle. Хавр laughed at my unskilled tactician without morale and said that in the future I should definitely take giants. I've been playing for many years, and I'm still being taught. And that's when I got very angry!

Before the second arena, there were two restarts. Зубр first took out my chaos, then his own catapults. I couldn't calm my anger. And it all started.

CTPAHHuK (Academy) def Хозяин (Academy) 1:1
Now, like a good disciple, I followed the precepts of the strongest. I gathered many giants and even mages in my army. I made a tactician with low morale and rushed for revenge. My Sorcerers cancel immolation, mages apply poison to the opponent's tactician, who has maximum resistance. Хозяин retreats to a bunker without immolation. The poison continues to damage the enemy tactician, and only in the 5th round does the tactician disappear from the battlefield. My heroes, shielded by a plump little thing, survive to achieve the first victory in this series!

CTPAHHuK (Necropolis) def Хозяин (Preserve) 2:1
With all the corpses, I immediately try to block the enemy wizard and gargoyle. Only once does a dis fly past my necromancer, taking only half of his health. I'm not in a hurry to kill the tactician. Meat crushes meat.

CTPAHHuK (Necropolis) def Хозяин (Academy) 3:1
In the decisive battle, I make a mistake. Everything is going well, the sorcerers on the other side are almost defeated, not even having time to move. I copy a devil with my tactician, who should immediately finish off the sorceress, but my necromancer moves before the illusion. Instead of waiting, I mass-cancel, and the devil's copy also disappears. The enemy Sorceress cancels my immolation, and the necromancer quickly falls. In the second round, the Sorceress completely packs it in, applying a slow effect on me. It's getting serious. However, the excellent general, made as Хавр says (!), alone managed to lead his corpses to a victorious end of the battle! Glory to the Almighty!

Thank you, Хозяин, for the games and for the tournament :)

I won't get any further

Huk, did you perhaps mix up "lose" with "def" somewhere? ;-)
I've adjusted the stats for the corpses.

CTPAHHuK
Upper Bracket Semifinals

CTPAHHuK (Academy) lose Хозяин (Academy) 0:1
Order was rolled on both sides. My armor-piercing army of dwarves, golems, nagas, and titans couldn't do anything useful against the opponent. Хозяин was better prepared for the battle. Havr laughed at my clumsy tactician without morale and told me that I must take genies in the future. I've been playing for many years, and yet I'm still being taught. And that's where I got really angry!

Before the second arena, there were two restarts. Zubr first rerolled my chaos, then his own catapults. He couldn't shake my rage. And off we went.

CTPAHHuK (Academy) def Хозяин (Academy) 1:1
Now, like a good acolyte, I followed the path of the strongest. I gathered many genies and even mages in my army. I made a pro-morale tactician and rushed into the rematch. My Sorceresses cancel immos, the mages cast poison on the opponent's highly resistant tactician. Хозяин goes into sanctuary without immo. Poison continues to hammer the enemy tactician, and only in the 5th round does the tactician disappear from the battlefield. My heroes, shielded by the chubby little ones, survive to claim the first victory in this series!
CTPAHHuK (Necropolis) lose Хозяин (Preserve) 2:1
With all the corpses in battle, I immediately strive to block the enemy wizard and gargoyles. Only once does a dispel fly to the Necromancer, taking away only half of its health. I'm in no rush to take down the tactician. Meat grinds meat.

CTPAHHuK (Necropolis) lose Хозяин (Academy) 3:1
In the decisive clash, I do something stupid. Everything is going perfectly, the sorceresses on the other side are almost finished before they even got a turn. I copy a devil with the tactician, which should immediately finish off a sorceress, but my necromancer moves before the illusion. Instead of waiting, I mass-cancel and the devil copy disappears as well. The enemy Sorceress cancels my immos, the necromancer falls quickly. In the second round, the Sorceress gets ultimate luck, putting a slow on me. It's no joke. However, a superior generalissimo, made as Havr says (!), managed alone to lead his corpses to the victorious end of the battle! Glory to the heavens!

Thanks to Хозяин for the games and for the tournament :)

I won't get any further than this
Yeah))) I messed up half of it)))

It hit hard primarily with magic. General steal, a bunch of phantoms, blindness. Also, a teleport luckily hit the dwarves, who were knocked to the other end of the battlefield at a critical moment.
Before the second arena, there were two restarts. Zubr first rerolled my chaos, then his own catapults. He couldn't shake my rage. And off we went.
Now I realize that I restarted the second layout for nothing. I should have played it. Maybe it wasn't very strong, but leaving myself without restarts proved to be quite critical.

The magic layout is terrible)) I decided to try and play through sanctuary somehow, but it didn't work. But I started strong—wiped out both of the enemy's sorceress stacks. Then I made a very gross mistake myself—the enemy tactician had healing, and I pushed him aside instead of removing the poison. Then I went into sanctuary and the tactician died on his own. And there's also resurrection and the ring of constancy. You can't break through that.

The layout seemed decent, although there was a whole staff of the dead tree and a lot of resistance on the mage. Dispel hit for almost 900, but didn't wipe them. Tactician vs tactician would have been a fight and might have even pulled through, but fighting against a mage as well was a hopeless cause.

However, a superior generalissimo, made as Havr says (!), managed alone to lead his corpses to the victorious end of the battle! Glory to the heavens!
The layout was hopeless from the start: practically no mages, genies only with golems and mages, no good magic at level 5. I had to make a monk with 4 order and 3 life, and a crusader with 3 life. There were no dispels at all except for the sorceresses. And the opponent crashed into them immediately. Lucky that he made a mistake and didn't finish them off. I managed to give a mass-cancel first, then oil with one sorceress. I kill the enemy mage, but the enemy tactician has the robe of the guardian. I simply have no one to hit him 5 times + his army is maximally mobile and flying. In the end, I was crushed anyway.

Thanks for the games and good luck going forward :)
Maybe we'll meet again in the lower bracket, if I'm lucky))
