Blitz tournament in Moscow. Auto-translated

I was hesitant for a while, wondering whether to go or not, whether to play or not, because I have practically no experience playing Heroes, and I only knew the guys as a baker-stream viewer, but in the end, I still made it, and I don't regret it at all! I really enjoyed the friendly and fun atmosphere, and it was great to meet so many interesting people in person. A special thanks to Timur for the excellent organization. I'm really sorry that I had to leave early on the second day :( But never mind, I hope this wasn't the last time. I'll be very happy to see you all again!

P.S. Stinger is the best! :D

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations :smile44:
The biggest and most heartfelt thanks go to Timur for organizing everything; it was all at the highest level :smile20:. I have a rough idea of the amount of work involved (I used to do similar things myself and don't want to anymore).
I also thank the generator, which provided a large batch of accumulated debts from the past year just in time, allowing me to play for enjoyment rather than struggling with the situation and having to find a way out...

The most interesting thing was seeing and meeting in person those I've known for a long time on the forum; I had imagined many of them differently, which was amusing.
And it will also be interesting to find out how the games for 2nd and 3rd place will end :smile33:.

By the way, has anyone finished any games yet?

By the way, has anyone finished playing yet?

In this thread, you will find the results. As far as I know, all the remaining participants have already agreed on a time to continue their matches. I think we'll finish within a week, and the prizes will find their new owners. :)

I lost to Twaryna. Thanks for the game.

I would like to add the tournament data to the summary results table. How are the standings for 2nd and 3rd place?

Lost to Bishop. We each took 1 rest and started. I was dealt Citadel, opponent got Castle. I was dealt well — 3 stacks of Tirax, wolves built, quite a lot of gold. On the first day I took a Dwarf Cottage for 15 and recouped a lot of gold, which allowed the bears to be placed in the fort. On the second week, I opened 2 Pandora's boxes of 80 imps and 40 gargoyles, and a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns. On day 123, the opponent shows up with a massive army, stats, and takes the Dragon Fly Hive I had my eye on. I decide to move to another treasure zone, but the opponent went for the breach. No choice — I attack. Even with expert Tactics and mass Haste, I only managed to cut down half the army. Well, and 10 SP left no chance. Bishop was dealt perfectly — a stable and 2 SP boosters right along the path, 2 external dwellings of spearmen and 1 of marksmen, gold mines behind free guards, and even 2 money heroes on the very first day. That can't be countered.

I would like to add the tournament data to the summary results table. How are things going with the 2nd and 3rd place playoff?

There are two games left; as soon as they are played, the results will be in the bracket and in the first post.

Our LAN tournament has ended; it partially transitioned to an online format. **February 27, 2014:** The_ (blue, random map, Inferno faction, Octavia hero, Rizza hero) defeated twaryna (red, random map, Tower faction, Fafnir hero, Solmyr hero), balance: 123. It was a dynamic and fast-paced game where the winner benefited from having mass Haste, which they managed to acquire at the last moment, as well as more units overall, although in the beginning, it seemed difficult when I saw Solmyr and two Consorts. Here is a recording of the entire game, totaling three hours, including all restarts and other moments that might be interesting: http://www.twitch.tv/the__the/b/506549495 Soon, I will post photos of the cups with the winners' names engraved on them. Thank you again to everyone who helped and participated in this event!
