Here's what happened:
It's the first day! The Bishop has 100,000 of his own Archons:smile08:, he teleports to a Castle, buys 2 Archons there, combines them with his own, and gets 100,002 Archons. Then he sits in the Castle, buys a Loshk, and gives him 2 Archons - I want to note that these are the same two Archons that he bought for the red rush:D :D That's how it was planned!:cool: and he red rushes a strong MARRETT:smile04:

Have you seen the game?

This clarification works depending on the judge and how he interprets it.



There's no red rush.

This just shows the quality of judging in your Fortress game. Complaining about a lost Imp is a rare form of pettiness, but they should have been satisfied.

but ideally, they should have been satisfied.

how do you think that could have been achieved?

In your opinion, how should it have been?

Chemist should have been awarded the victory.

Let's wrap up the discussion and smoothly move on to the banquet hall. I am keeping track of the results and don’t want to miss the report amidst a pile of opinions.

All 6 restarts spent, at first my map looked very bad with the only road blocked by harpy hags, but it turned out to be pretty rich and with a behemoth dwell and 2 dung towns plus boots and gloves. Was about to take the behemoth dwell week 2 when opponent showed up at the worst possible time and managed to take my town after killing 3 angels and 6 wyvs with some hit and run tactics from the nearby dung town. I lacked one step from taking the behemoth dwell and getting the towns back so had to leave it. Week 3 I upgraded my 8 behemoths and ran in the direction of opponent. Found a t-area and saw a tope there that gave wings and lion shild. Went for other t-areas and got blue hat and all lvl 4 spells from box guarded by griffens. With full control I started to take opponents town but wanted to avoid FB untill I had some decent shooters since I feared red orb and AOTD. Built clops week 4 and took a dwell and week 5 I had 18 clop kings and felt safe. I took one town after the other and in the end opponent gave up since he saw he had no chance left without DD/fly. Hack rules. Thanks for playing.

Maretti used his 6 restarts and started the game. It turned out decently: good starting army, 2 Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a behemoth dwell. On the first, he took a secondary hero and killed the necro computer; at home, behemoths and basilisks in the Citadel, took the dwell. On the second, Conservatories 2+1, split in different directions. Gretchka on the 1st angel ran to the secondary hero, then to the gray Conflux, and from there the road to Maretti's secondary hero; I take the secondary hero on 126 and see on a scout hero 3 angels and 6 Wyverns; with the help of 2 mages and sacrificing my angel, I kill Maretti's 3 angels and 6 wyvs, take his main. He takes it back the next turn. I see his army: 3 behemoths and 5 birds. At that time I had 2 angels, 19 black bulls, and 20 wyvs; there are also 2 Dragon Fly Hives in perspective. While Maretti picks up growth, he moves towards my Conflux (as it turned out later, there was no other road left for him). I plan to take 2 Dragon Fly Hives, upgrade the Wyverns, and fight into that Conflux. But the last computer hero of the Conflux screwed up the whole game: ( It took the village between my town and the Conflux and killed the scout hero in the chain :mad: . Maretti takes the Conflux, then runs past this secondary hero; there was also a passage to the treasure zone, where right away a Dragon Utopia with wings and +4 all. Well, after that it was a matter of time; with wings, expert Logistics, stable, boots, and gloves, Maretti quickly farmed wyvs and stats, found the needed Pandora's Boxes and a Dragon Utopia with Dimension Door.
Thanks for the game!

The first Champions League tournament in the world of Heroes is coming to an end.
It's still too early to draw conclusions, so I'll just mention one thing, using a few points to summarize and justify my final thought:
- all three winners have been determined.
- the final third match in the BISHOP - Maretti pair is currently underway, which will determine the last participant in the grand final, where Gomunguls is already waiting.
- initially, there was a lot of enthusiasm about streaming this tournament from many people, and especially from me.
- in reality, I only managed to stream one game (Kilgor-Maretti), and although this match was simply excellent, it was full of unconventional decisions, suspense, and fierce competition, and it lasted over 20 hours in total (of which about 18 hours were streamed). Why was it only possible to stream one game, and not more (especially considering the, dare I say, huge interest from viewers in this match, which took place without any prior announcements or notifications)? It's difficult to answer definitively, but there were both personal commitments (and free time was spent on tournament games and just relaxing when I wanted to unwind instead of having tedious negotiations about the date and time, and most importantly, getting the players' consent to stream their match to a wider audience), as well as completely incompatible schedules of day/night, commitments, and the players' availability to play, and my ability to stream.
- after each report from the final round of the playoffs (let's just say, not always informative, and how can you convey all the intensity and beauty of the game with just a bunch of letters and symbols?), I regretted that I didn't see this game live.

Taking all of the above into account, I ask Gomunguls and BISHOP/Maretti to understand the following addition to the regulations.

Starting with the first match of the grand final (best of 5, with a score of 1-0 in favor of Gomunguls) and until the final whistle (the end of the entire series), all games will be streamed by me and invited guests.
We will meet the requirements of what needs to be done so that, first of all, the players suffer as little as possible and can show their best game.
The time limit for the final is removed; I have no doubt about the honesty and interest of all three remaining people, so I don't see the point in setting boundaries that will put moral pressure on the participants and be a possible reason for refusing to play on stream due to a lack of time for preparation.
The agreed-upon time for the game - almost certainly, we will try to schedule all matches for the weekend, at worst, Friday. The agreed-upon time for the game involves three parties: player 1, player 2, and the tournament organizer. After the time for the match is agreed upon, an announcement of the upcoming battle is created in the tournament thread, primarily for the convenience of viewers.
All three remaining participants have the technical ability to provide a video stream (streaming, broadcasting via TV, etc.), so before the start of each game, the participants send the organizer links/numbers for the broadcasts.

I am addressing you, dear tournament participants, you have done a tremendous job and overcome a long path to the final, so let's not allow your game to be forgotten and give everyone else the opportunity to feel the taste and tension of the grand final in the best traditions of the Champions League!

P.S. I am ready to discuss all questions on ICQ.
P.P.S. The cup is ready, and therefore the winner of the first mini-contest has also been determined; for now, it's just a small announcement, but soon there will be a full announcement and presentation of the award itself.

Generator win. Thanks for playing.

I got a good surrender. In the first week I collected a lot of gold, built 1-6 in Castle, grabbed Boots of Speed and Gloves of the Master, and leveled up my logistic hero. On day 1, I get a drop of 99 Water Elementals for 10,000 gold with losses. On day 2, a level 3 Griffin Conservatory, then another level 3 Griffin Conservatory and a level 2, then a mini Griffin Conservatory... on morale I lose an Angel and break a mini Dragon Utopia, which gives a Sword +5 All... on day 127 I finish scouting the treasure location... on day 131 I see the red army... I break a level 2 Dragon Utopia with Lojkov's Müllich, which gives КЗ and a Book of Water (there was a Water and Earth Elemental pool)... and I went to kill enemy heroes. I attack Crellion, who has 5 Master Genies, 2 of them repel the Death Wave, another 1 is killed by Angels on morale, and he runs away... the entire army is given to Tazar, and I run towards the opponent, where I reach level 1 Dessa with all the power, and the surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!
