Zybr (Might) lost to Havr (Order) 0-1
Sorceresses, djinns, mages, and a priest with sleds made the game.

Zybr(Chaos) lost to Havr(Chaos) 0-2
Got a Ring of Speed, Ring of Permanence, and Sharpshooter's Crossbow. From troops: 4 Black Dragons, 33 goblins, 12 Nightmares, 104 Medusas, and 477 orcs. A Tactician with Advanced Chaos Magic and a Druid with Phoenixes and other summons. Opponent had 5 Black Dragons, 34 goblins, 70 Evil Eyes, a couple hundred Troglodytes, and about 700 thieves. Their heroes: a Tactician and an Order Mage with a spellbook. First, I piled on the Black Dragons with orcs, Medusas (unlucky with petrification, I was hoping for it), and summoned Phoenixes. In the end, I reduced their number to 3, which was less scary. The opponent got upset upon discovering my Ring of Permanence, but made a decent move by teleporting goblins to my Tactician. However, my Tactician landed Confusion on the goblins. Apparently the opponent got fully frustrated at that point and made the main mistake — sent the Black Dragons to kill my Tactician (they didn't even remove the Immortality buff on the hit), thereby giving my goblins a direct path to the opponent's Tactician in one turn. Thanks to the Ring of Speed, my goblins acted last that turn — and removed Immortality from the opponent's Tactician. Then on the next turn, they went first and finished off the Tactician.

Zybr (Life) lost to Havr (Order) 0-3
I again had Sorceresses, djinns, mages, and a priest with sleds. Opponent had a Chaos Magic Tactician. First turn: djinns cast Mass Slow, Sorceresses cast Mass Cancellation, mages poisoned the Tactician. However, the Tactician drank a Healing Potion, so we didn't go into sleds on the first turn, instead casting Mass Zeal. Besides, the opponent was still slowed and couldn't reach us. On the second turn, we went into sleds. Then we scattered a bit in all directions to ensure we could kill the heroes from ambush. It worked without much trouble.

Thanks to my opponent for the games and for the tournament itself!

Got a Ring of Speed, Ring of Permanence, and Sniper’s Crossbow. Among the troops: 4 Champions, 33 Goblins, 12 Nightmares, 104 Medusas, and 477 Orcs. Tactician with Chaos Advanced and a Druid with Phoenixes and other summons. The opponent had 5 Champions, 34 Goblins, 70 Evil Eyes, a couple hundred Troglodytes, and around 700 Thieves. Their heroes: a Tactician and an Order Mage Guild with a tome. First, I piled on the Champions with Orcs, Medusas (unlucky with petrification, I was hoping for it) and summoned Phoenixes. Eventually, I reduced their count to 3, which was less threatening. The opponent got upset upon discovering my Ring of Permanence but made a decent move by teleporting Goblins to my Tactician. However, the Tactician cast Confusion on the Goblins. At that point, the opponent seemed to get completely frustrated and made the main mistake — he flew the Champions to kill my Tactician (they didn’t even remove Immortality with the hit), thereby opening a direct path for my Goblins to his Tactician in one turn. Thanks to the Ring of Speed, they acted last — they removed Immortality from the Tactician. And on the next turn, they were first and finished off the Tactician.

Zybr (Life) def Havr (Order) 0-3

First turn: Djinns cast Mass Slow, Sorceresses cast Mass Cancel, Mages poison the Tactician. However, the Tactician drinks a healing potion, so we don’t go into sleds on the first turn and instead cast Mass Zeal. Besides, the opponent is slowed anyway and can’t reach us. On the second turn, into the sleds. After that, we scattered a bit in all directions to ensure heroes were killed from ambush. It worked out without much trouble.

A mistake here, a mistake there — and the result is grim:)
Thanks for the games and good luck going forward:)

Looks like Wanderer will win the tournament again. I hope for exciting matches in the finals :) P.S. I'm rooting for Shnurov. I don't want to celebrate my birthday either :D

Someone from the Havr-Shnurov pair will win. They are too strong. The motivation after winning will be unbeatable. If Shnurov beats Havr again, he definitely won't give me another chance to make a comeback. Otherwise, Havrophobia will kick in. There will be no chance for me. Seriously - less than 50% chance of success for me. They will push each other, and I'm lacking practice.

Are we pretending to be weak? Well, well... :smile14:

A match with a lot of give and take on the tactical arena. We haven't seen a tournament like this yet!

You didn't manage to earn a million, you quit halfway through. But this time, I'm definitely going to make some money!

By the way, I'd like to understand this: according to the rules of the double-elimination tournament, does the winner of the losers' bracket final need to defeat the winner of the winners' bracket twice to win the tournament? ;)
