Posts from Discussion of CIS-2015 details

The world has never seen such a poor presentation of the most anticipated event of the year. I hope at least the participants enjoyed it.

A 40 Mb internet connection was announced, but in reality, we had a connection without interruptions for an hour on the first day.

I've been wanting to write and ask you not to call this little gathering a SNG, but now it's clear that it's just a regular regional "brawl" from 2015.

I've been wanting to write that you shouldn't call this gathering a "CIS event," but now it's clear that it's just a regular regional "brawl" from 2015.

So, when the CIS was in Kyiv or Odessa, and you were there, everything was fine? But now it's not? :D Those who wanted to come, came. People are really excited!!

Reports and photos will be available, but tomorrow.

Hey everyone! We apologize for the lack of updates in the first few days – we simply didn’t have internet access. We complained, we argued, and eventually, somehow, we got it working. Tomorrow morning, we’ll try to upload some photos and write about a few things. If they deliver on what they promised, we’ll even do a stream. For now, the internet is still terrible. Sorry if anything is delayed – unfortunately, not everything depends on us. And as a bonus, we’ll share the video of FTS singing – it’s hilarious and will definitely be the meme of the year! Brazik played in the CIS region just as well as Gomungulus did. :D

I've wanted to write for a long time that you shouldn't call this gathering a SNG, but now it's clear that it's just a regular regional "brawl" from 2015.

However, I'm a bit annoyed :D

Misha, happy birthday!

The world hasn't seen such a poorly covered event, especially considering how much it was anticipated. I hope the participants themselves enjoyed it.

Due to internet instability, the super-mega event isn't being covered as it should. I can say that a full range of entertainment is included in this trip and is still being implemented! And of course, with such a lineup of players from the CIS region, it's hard to call it just a friendly match:cool:

I'm back too))
I still think that the lack of coverage of what was happening at the tournament wasn't due to a lack of internet, but because everyone was at the restaurant, where time flies by!
I'll write a little about my impressions! On the day of arrival, I managed to meet everyone, and there was additional interest because people were arriving throughout the day!
On the second day, there was the draw, and around 12 o'clock we started playing. Later in the evening, there was a banquet with songs, which, as it turned out later, Albert liked and remembered the most :D
On the 3rd day, we finished a game with Artyom (Cobra), where I lost, and later started a new game with Ivan (Fire). We played until about 2 am.
On the 4th day, we continued the game, where after a long chase on day 22+ I surrendered.
Later in the evening, there was a quiz)) which everyone also remembered and enjoyed! And I even managed to win some candies)
The next day I left:)
In the end, I was very pleased with the meeting, I really enjoyed communicating with everyone!!! It's hard to even remember when I laughed so much))) everything was super!!!
Regarding the games. In the first one, based on the list of templates, I decided to play Jebus Cross. The strongest towns were removed, and I bet on getting a good layout. Two draws were very good, but Artyom re-rolled them. In the end, we each took 3 restarts and started relying on luck! The layout wasn't great, blocks on the roads immediately above and below the town, I spread out to the sides... I ran 4-5 moves down, and there was almost another block near the town. I had to split my army and return home. Then, on anti-morale fields, I lost some army and broke the block up the road... In the end - in the first week I placed Efreets in a Castle with 1 external dwelling of Efreets and Pit Fiends, I scouted GO - 20-49 Nagas and 10-19 Arch Devils. At the start of the second week, I grabbed Griffin Conservatories (for 3 Angels) and 2 Dragon Fly Hives (for 16 Wyverns)... I had little army and there was no point in going to GO, so I started farming respawns to then break Dragon Utopias. On day 126, I broke a tier-2 one - gave Wings and Fire Book. On day 131, I broke a max Dragon Utopia with the loss of only 16 Demons, 80 Imps, 6 Wyverns, and 1 Dog!!! It gave Titan's Plate, Helm, Boots +2 all, and some other good stuff. On day 132, I grabbed a swamp next to GO and from there grabbed another mini Dragon Utopia - gave a Sword +5 all, and I started boosting. On day 133, I ran into a Treasure Chamber, and there was a mega Lord of Protection with 40 defense, a Red Orb, and about 70 Monarchs. They destroyed me in the central town without a chance))
In the second game, everything was very good. I made a couple of small mistakes throughout the game, but there were many morale triggers for neutrals where I lost tons of army... In the first week, I scouted 3 Griffin Conservatories, killed the Conflux computer. On day 116, I killed 49 basic Vampires with the loss of 3 Centaurs, 5 Pegasi, 7 Dwarves, and 1 Grand Elf - only 12 Grand Elves remained after the battle. The Pandora's Box gave 15k gold... I recruited Air Elementals from 2 external dwellings. At the start of the second week, thanks to this money, I bought everything and attacked 10-19 Manticores. And from that moment, trouble started. Morale triggers killed 9 Grand Elves for me. Then morale from Pit Fiends - 3 Air Elementals, - 1 Grand Elf from a Conflux dwelling, where in the 2nd week, instead of 5-9 Air Elementals, suddenly there were 10-19 Arch Air Elementals))) Next, I visited stables and ran to a Griffin Conservatory. I leveled up poorly because there was nowhere to level my hero. In the end, I attacked the first Griffin Conservatory with a full buy - tier 3. Again morale triggers, but I won. I split my army in the capital. Then I ran from it to the next Griffin Conservatory - max. Again without Mass Earth, I suffered quite a bit there... And Kairi runs to a Treasure Chamber while I send Amriya to another Treasure Chamber. There, I break another Conservatory with a scout hero - max again... The scout hero died outright. I took max damage to my entire army there except the Angels and came out with all the Angels (7) and 5 Arch Air Elementals... Total 11 Angels around days 125-126... On the next turn, I passed the army to Kairi and ran into a Treasure Chamber and collected a Vial of Life. I also grabbed 2 Dragon Fly Hives there and passed the army back to another Treasure Chamber, where I grabbed another 2 hives... Then Shakhtar arrives with an army of 20-49 Wyverns, 5-9 Angels, and 100-243 Troglodytes + 20-49 Evil Eyes... He attacks in the same Treasure Chamber where I am, but enters a different underground area... On my turn, I pass the army back and grab 2 Dragon Utopias (tier 1 and 3) - from them, useful items included a Water Book (Kairi already had Water) and a Necklace +3 all... I grab another Dragon Fly Hive and run from this Treasure Chamber into Conflux to go from there to another Treasure Chamber... Then with Shackles, I catch Gunnar, who was a leveled-up scout on Fly, trying to break into my Treasure Chamber... I kill 3 of his Angels, he kills 4 of my Angels and 15 Grand Elves with Implosion... I run into the Treasure Chamber, grab 3 Conservatories and a couple of hives... Nothing else interesting there... I plan for Kairi to run to the center and do reconnaissance there... Scout heroes on Temptress (Dessa, Pyre, Monere) finish off their Treasure Chamber... Also, there was a moment after Gunnar's death to reach the center and grab the remaining loot with a scout hero, but I was 300-400 MP short of the town and didn't go there... So, on the 4th week or so, I grabbed the Necropolis and from there ran to the biggest Treasure Chamber on the map (it was about 1/4 of the underground). I entered it with Kairi and immediately bought her Boots and Gloves... Then I ran around this Treasure Chamber with Kairi and all the Logistics heroes, grabbed several more Conservatories and hives, several Dragon Utopias (about 6)... And Shakhtar was capturing my towns... In the end, around day 22+, I climbed into the very corner of this huge Treasure Chamber and never got Dimension Door or Town Portal. Luckily I had Wings... Throughout the entire game, I checked all the Pandora's Boxes and scrolls, built 2 Mage Guilds - in Conflux and Tower, also empty. And in this corner, I surrendered with my force - 24 Angels, 90 Wyverns, and other army, Red Orb, and Vial of Life, because running back was very long and there were no prospects... Kairi's speed was 4500 MP... It's sad, of course, but there was nothing to be done.
Thanks for the games!!!:)
I took several photos, I think I'll upload them in a few days.
I join in - Happy Birthday, Mikhail!
P.S. If anyone ever finds themselves at this tourist base, be sure to try the baked carp with potatoes, I recommend it!:p

[/U]There will be reports and photos, but tomorrow.

Tomorrow it will be like this: :smile32:
Yeah, guys... honestly, I realized that everyone was at a banquet all week, and only Dark was in the final, and who he's playing against is unknown. I think Helaytik (who also observed a dry law) won against Kubra, so whoever wins is the champion?
What are they even playing...?

Anton entertained people by preparing and serving various rum-based cocktails.
Vanya (aka FireToSky) performed energetic songs and dances.
And the Cobra, after losing to Hellight, got drunk, and to prevent him from causing trouble, they locked him in his room.

Final: Dark vs Hellight.

Fire defeated Napalm, Shevanyan defeated Stinger.

Pairs for the fourth round:

Me against Shevanyan,
Fire against Mizrael,
Lizard against Cobra.

The broadcast of the CIS-2015 championship final will begin soon.
Dark (red, Conflux) vs HellLighT (blue, Tower) Anarchy

The stream will be on Mizrael's channel.
