Posts from Blitz tournament in Moscow.

Thank you very much, The_, for organizing the tournament. And Twaryn for suggesting and motivating us to hold this tournament. It was fun and enjoyable. All participants and viewers are just great people. Now I'm seriously considering a trip to Minsk. Congratulations to Pit on his well-deserved victory. He implemented his plans, which were already very good, but he did it 100%. In general, the most positive game I saw at the tournament was Twaryn vs. JustObserver, it's just a pity that instead of Ob in this game, there wasn't Sticky (those who saw the ending will understand). P.S. If anything, I was playing under funny nicknames like "Twaryn's killer," "Comrades' killer," "Schlotz's winner." If I offended anyone with these nicknames, I sincerely apologize, I just wanted to make everyone laugh, and it seems it worked.

Where is the crab, and what are the results for 2nd and 3rd place?
And please label the group photo.

This isn't me, but Sloth_D, as far as I remember.

Despite the not-so-successful performance, I enjoyed the tournament. Although, of course, a major drawback was that due to the format, there wasn't enough time to communicate with each other.

But, most importantly, as the experiment showed, the project is quite viable. So, thank you, "tvaryna," for the idea, and The_, for not being afraid to take on the organization and bring it to life.

I hope that in the fall, people will be ready to repeat the tournament!

I apologize, I removed the tag (=

and Comrade ran into my zone through a treacherous passage, where he spent a day.

And what did he get for it?:cool:

The Tournament will conclude online. The fight for second and third place will begin; there are 5 participants left in the Tournament. twaryna is playing against Aiwe, and Bishop is playing against Tovariщ. The losers in these matches will lose their chance to compete for prizes, while the winners will have a chance to determine who will advance to the silver-bronze match. Regarding the prize fund: 1st place: Pit for LM - 6,000 rubles + cup + medal + collector's edition of Heroes from "Buki" 2nd place: ? - 3,600 rubles + cup + medal + collector's edition of Heroes from "Buki" 3rd place: ? - 2,400 rubles + cup + medal + collector's edition of Heroes from "Buki" Currently, only one prize (6,000 rubles) has been awarded. The cups and medals are with me so that I can have the names of all the winners engraved on them. As soon as they are known, the rubles + cups + medals + collector's edition of Heroes from "Buki" will be sent to their rightful owners by mail or in person if a Muscovite makes it to the losers' final. Regarding the timeline, I don't think it makes sense to set any deadlines. I'm sure there won't be any problems with finishing the matches. Now, my overall impressions of the Tournament. Regarding the format: double elimination in m200 mode, given a two-day timeframe, is a very viable option, but with 16 participants. Therefore, in the future, if something similar is organized, and there are more than 16 people who want to participate, the first two rounds can be held online, and then there will be no problems with completing the Tournament on time. Thank you to everyone who found the time to come. Thank you to the participants for their patience and perseverance, and to the spectators for their enthusiastic support. I think we had a great time. I was glad to meet both familiar people from Kyiv and new online acquaintances from Moscow and St. Petersburg in person; it was a great group. ;)

Where is Stinger? This is a very relevant question.

The last time I saw him was when we were leaving the club. He, Aiwe, Romantic, Diabler, Klaus, Observer, Shlots, and a decent group of people (I don't remember the names of the others, unfortunately, I was very tired by that time, I hadn't slept for almost two days) were going to a bar to celebrate Aiwe's future victory over twaryna... maybe someone among them knows? I have Obs's phone number; I'll try to find out.

P.S. I don't even know who had more fun, Artem aka Stinger or Yegor, but since Yegor didn't come on the second day, I think Stinger takes first place. He was also awarded a special prize, "the audience's favorite," in the form of an Olympic bear - for his will to win

16.02.2014 Tovariщ(Blue,random,Stronghold,random,Shabba,Kyrre,Aenian) def BlooDy)DriVeR(Red,random,Rampart,random,Kyrre,Galtran) 2sm2c 132.

I used up all my restarts and got a poor layout. The first week was terrible: few heroes, little gold, I picked the wrong direction and hit a blockade. On 114 a good mage showed up, broke into the secondary, and life started to improve a bit. Scouting revealed: Boots of Speed, Pandora's Box with 10-19 Air elementals and a +2/2 artifact for spell power and knowledge. I had little gold and was hoping for a cash box, but it turned out to be experience, which ultimately proved far more useful. Build order: dwellings 1, 2, 3, 5 in the Citadel + an Orc external dwelling. The main hero had Intelligence. On week 2 I start with a Dwarf Cottage on 15, pick up the Boots, the +2/2 artifact, and continue building. On 122, the main hero takes a Naga Bank triple with Chain Lightning dealing 250 damage, and goes to double his mana. Shabba, with a Necropolis secondary hero's zoo, successfully defends resources and scrolls on the secondary. On 124 or 125, I take a risk and assault 20-49 Nagas with 10 Zombies and 15 Skeletons, losing all of them, but I get Chain Lightning!!! Meanwhile, Aenian was clearing treasuries, grabbing a Gold Mine, an Armor +1 All, and went to visit the second part of the Fountain and stand before the GO. He did that on 127. By that time, I had built the Mage Guild at level 4, also with Chain Lightning :) I added Ogres at home. I have the gold for buying troops. On 131, I break into the opponent's territory; the GO were extremely unpleasant — Ghosts and GR, Efreeti, I lost a huge amount of troops but reached the capital. On 132, I sort of set myself up for the opponent with Pikemen and an Angel, and Galtran attacks with 5 Angels. I cast Chain Lightning, killing -3 Angels and making a buyback. On my turn, I finish off Galtran on the speed bump. Thanks for the game!

Here I involuntarily broke the rules because the generation was unclear for me and not only for me. The opponent asked to take a look at his layout, and to avoid upsetting with a technical restart :D I concede the victory. A bummer.

Many thanks to Timur for organizing the tournament; everything was top-notch! Congratulations to Peter on a well-deserved victory; in the final game he didn't make a single mistake, almost :)

I was very glad to meet the Heroes players in person; thank you, Timur, it was a lot of fun. Congratulations to Pita on the victory!

The organization was excellent. I spent almost all my time in the papal room, and it wasn't boring. I learned a new meme about the "Sweatiest Player" nomination. Tyoma was in great shape, especially relentlessly trolling the person sitting to his left.
I met new people, and I was particularly impressed by Bishop.
Overall, I would like to commend the organizer's work and hope that competitions in this format (only M-200!!) will become regular.
Thank you all!

Just got home, everything was great, an excellent trip, I don't regret it at all :) Timur – respect for the organization, Sasha Tvaryna – for the idea, and to everyone else for being there, for finding the time to take a day or two off and create a super atmosphere, there was a lot of positivity, it was memorable – the exorcism of the sleep demon from Timur in the morning and Tvaryna's trance with Bishop, the match Just Observer against Just Observer, the referee Just Observer, I think we should repeat this somewhere in about half a year, maybe even in St. Petersburg ;)
P.S. If the question about Stinger is still relevant, we parted ways around 0:30, he, Schlots, Just, and Klaus continued to celebrate the presentation of the Olympic mascot to Artem for at least 2 more hours – I was texting with them, then he was going to go to work and sleep there.

The Stinger was found: at home, on the couch.

:D :D :D Finally made it.

Thank you very much to The_ for organizing the tournament, and to Twaryn for suggesting and motivating us to hold this tournament.

In general, the most positive game, out of all the games I saw at the tournament, was Twaryna against JustObserver, it's just a pity that instead of Ob in this game, there wasn't Sticky (those who saw the ending will understand).

I'll agree with every word! The most memorable and exciting game, in my opinion, was xekcep def Twaryna, played on the first day. It was epic! Well, you didn't see it, of course)) It was great! The tournament was excellent, I suggest continuing the tradition!

I wouldn't mind playing again. If Timur manages to arrange another game at the same venue, I think he won't have any more problems finding a place (maybe it will be easier the second time). We'll wait for Timur's thoughts on this.
