I thought the bald one was Gomunguls. Where is he?

Hellight is great – second place first, now first – there is progress. Kober – no progress! And the beard didn't help him get lucky.

Here he is, Vitaly, also known as Gomunguls himself (sitting behind a laptop).

I'll go over my reports:

1st round: it turned out that Alexxl gave the right to choose the opponent for the 1st round to Vitaliy, and he chose me. But I didn't mope for long)
KobRa_RR (blue, Fortress, Tazar) def Gomunguls (red, Inferno, Pyre) Jebus Cross 133
We did restarts like this: first the opponent twice, then I three times. And then Vitaliy's last restart again, in the end we played on luck. In all my draws, I had absolutely no Hives. And here, my first Dragon Fly Hive I only found on 116. Immediately took +8 Wyvern, the next turn through 9 heroes with a prison another one fell +4 Wyverns.. Before that, on 111 for 100 corpses I long beat a Pandora's Box for 45 gr. lizards!! On 112 - a max Dwarf Cottage with a gr. stack fell - there were a lot of morale boosts on their side, so they hit hard, next 10k exp for 50+ gr. harpies. Expert Logistics, Pathfinding, Earth magic took. Then another Pandora for gr. bases 20-49, kind Stinger and Alex whispered to attack, but screw them! or I would have definitely lost without feeding on 49 pieces..)) Then I turned my skis home, scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories. I started with a tier-3 with a gr. stack on 121, and then a minimum(( and I crashed home. Somewhere here we saved, thought for a long time at night whether to take the Dragon Utopia at the Castle without Mass Shield and mana or to rush straight to the ГО, in the end I decided the next day to go and did the right thing!.. Along the way I picked up 3 Pandora's Boxes for 15k gold, 10k exp (leveled up Grinya and Luna) and the Sword of Ol' 5all for Zealots, for 24 Master Genies they gave the whole fifth((( (to Luna with Advanced Wisdom, Grindan still had to drag a turn, well, I wasn't upset, because a scout hero with 1 Dimension Door isn't really needed for anything, but all the 4th level magic would have been useful..) On 123 on the remains of movement I break 28 Hydras with a gr. stack (broke for a long time without Offense, in the army 4 Angels, 60 gr. Archers, 16 Wyverns and a bit of meat) next 50 Cavaliers with a gr. stack also fell not without losses. But I camp at a Dragon Fly Hive with Wings for 70 Scorpicores, which I break with a supply of meat, then I took another Shield + 12 and 1 Dragon Fly Hive and sat in the central swamp Castle right under Vitaliy's nose.. The opponent broke for a long time, but still broke his Nagas and then unexpectedly crashed on Arch Devils. Here I could have taken his Dragon Utopia, but I managed with scout heroes to take КВ and transfer to another central Castle - Castle, nearby 2 external Angel dwellings and a decent number of Hives, with Dragon Utopias. In 3-4 days I farmed all that, crashed home, took the home Dragon Utopia on КЗ! (there was an opinion) upgraded the Wyverns and attacked with the red orb on a emerged Vitaliy, who naively thought I left him anything tasty :D 60 Monarchs vs 22 Sultans and defense 40.. thanks for the game!

KobRa_RR (red, Conflux, Fiur, Sir Mullich) def theShevanesian (blue, Fortress, Tazar) 8mm6a 137

Sheva took 112 in a borderline situation and didn't take 111 against a double Conflux, I also had an external dwelling of Psychic Elementals under the castle, nearby stables, Mullich and a Conservatory 3-4! - such a thing is not restarted on principle!.. On 114 I revealed with an overview an external Wyvern dwelling, a Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia on the opponent's respawn. From the long turns of the opponent it became clear that they were temping.. On 115 I took a second Conflux, scouted three more directions! A Dragon Utopia there too, I even imagined that with the help of its contents I could take Dim's Dragon Utopia too)) Well, I just daydreamed for a second, but in reality it turned out that the opponent grabbed his Dragon Utopia somewhere in the interval on 125 and then on the swamp, which I saw on 126, I had to urgently grab mine on 127, there were a measly 2all and trash. Then I rushed to the centers and cut the opponent off from the map critically!.. On 131 I could even take the main, but didn't risk it under time pressure, just cut off scout heroes like Crag Hack)) Captured a decent number of castles, the scout heroes were stronger in parameters than Mullich) because I never found any more Dragon Utopias until the end of the game. Out of desperation, I rushed at the opponent, and he also, out of desperation, attacked me with a scout hero with all his might.)) Thanks for the game!

HellLighT (blue, Stronghold, Dessa) def KobRa_RR (red, Inferno, Pyre, Tazar) Anarchy 136
I lost on restarts. After them, a hellish hell was generated underground with 0.00(0) chance in the period. On 115 with 30 Magogs I almost didn't break 49 Vampires with a stack for the only freebie on the respawn - a Pandora's Box for 15K exp, Tazar at least got Logistics and Earth magic... And the opponent right in 1 cell under the castle an external dwelling of Bears, in three Sword of Ol' 5all and the Blue Cloak... on 121 I broke a max Dragon Fly Hive, then a couple more small ones and with 24 Wyverns rode, as it turned out, to the opponent through a bugged passage (we played map #7).. on 124 I could have broken, as it turned out later, his Dragon Utopia, but didn't risk it and did the right thing (again there were measly 2all giving..), broke into his piece of the underground secondary. And there is a Cartographer, from it I spot all parts of the Cloak of the Undead King (two parts under the opponent's control. I set up chains to steal them when I get Fly), and I return back home. After 2 Dragon Utopias with Dimension Door I tried to hold on, finally gave Diplomacy to a scout hero-Necromancer, but with 4 Dimension Door and wild power I was immediately punished. Thanks for the lesson. I lost the hidden final.

Video of the award ceremony for the tournament winners and runners-up. By the time the winners and runners-up were determined (as always, everyone was waiting for Cobra, with his typical delays), the audience was getting quite bored, so the ceremony was moved from the conference hall to a VIP cottage.

And then Albert didn't miss the chance to have a drink:smile20:

Many probably already know that at the current CIS event, the phrase "sladyshi vy moi sladyshi" ("sweets, you are my sweets") has become a cult saying, introduced by Albert. It has stuck in everyone's memory so much that by the end of the event, two impromptu songs were dedicated to it. Merlin's version (a cappella): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s_tMFNXYnQ Lizarda's version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSmN6WdXX4w

This is Lizard. I'm writing from my wife's account because changing your username on this forum is even more complicated than registering. In short, I'm not ready to write a full report yet, but I'm interested in reading what others are saying. So far, almost everyone is as pleasant as they are in person. Here are some people I either didn't know at all before Volgograd or got to know much better: FTS - simply a fun person to be around. You'd enjoy going on a scouting mission or to a pub with him. Cobra - a truly unique person with a lot to offer. You can learn a lot from him, both in the game and in real life. Browser - after stopping his heavy drinking, he unexpectedly became a very reliable friend and a quite respectable person. Gomunguls - I used to think he was a less pleasant person. Turns out, he's extremely polite and intelligent, with a subtle sense of humor and no pretension. He proves himself through his actions. I'll continue later. In any case, thank you all very much; it was unforgettable! And I think it made some of us better people.

Preds and I played Diamond in the final round.

Me and Preds played Diamond in the last round.

Thanks! I've fixed it. If there are any other inaccuracies, please let me know.

This is actually Lizard. I'm writing from my wife's account because changing a username on this forum is even more difficult than registering.

Write to me on ICQ, and we'll try to figure something out.

Here's the translation: Finally, I have half an hour of free time after dealing with work, following a long absence. I'll try to recount "how it was," from my own, rather critical perspective.

Overall, both I and Ksyusha enjoyed the time. She didn't expect that there would be so many intelligent and interesting people among the "old-school" Heroes enthusiasts. In turn, I was glad to show this and prove it, so to speak, in person. The opening and presentation of the championship, as always, were excellent – thanks and respect to Merlin, who, in this aspect, doesn't give reason for criticism. After the festive banquet, many people noticeably relaxed, and the subsequent communication flowed easily for the rest of the days. I really enjoyed the excursion. I don't know about others, but "Motherland Calls" made a much greater impression on me than the Eiffel Tower and the National Library in Minsk combined :). The excellent cuisine (and the signature beer!) at the "Blamberg" cafe perfectly concluded the excursion day.

Games:

1. Victory over Stinger. Immediately after the draw, Max Bloodlaiker approached and rightly pointed out that I got lucky. Because in the first round, Stinger is usually still figuring out how to prioritize – heroes or poker. That's what happened. He readily agreed to play Jebus. With our usual pairing (his red Swamp against my blue Castle). And he played carelessly, often making mistakes and drinking more beer. I couldn't possibly lose in that situation.

2. Loss to Predsu. A game that will be remembered forever. Experienced and calm as a rock, Dmitry Adamovich once and for all showed Lizard that he can always lose to himself. In general, we played 8mm6a, again, I was blue Castle, and my opponent was red Swamp. I got Tamika and Galtran, and the game, in general, went smoothly in my favor until the very last battle. Without forcing events and taking too many risks, I steadily increased my power, captured castles, and cornered Dima. When I decided that my advantage was total, I went on the offensive, directly attacking the castle, and for unknown cosmic reasons, I put the Black Orb, which had been in reserve, into Galtran's inventory. I received 2 Armageddon spells, a Berserk spell on the skeletons, and an unprecedented barrage. After the game, my heart ached for 5 days; now I'm taking pills. But I've become immeasurably calmer.

3. Victory over Bayazet. We decided to play a full-WT mirror match for fun. We played on dungeons. I was red Laura, and Lyokha was blue Das. 2000 turn limit. Given the champion's long absence from competitive play (CНГ-2010), I thought there shouldn't be any major problems. However, the game turned out to be very exciting. I killed the main hero and the artifact carrier on the last moves of turn 127. It would seem that 131 would be more logical for red, but not in this game. With 131, Bayazet would have taken his Utopia with control, and the game could have dragged on for a long time.

4. Loss to Cobra. We played Diamond, I was blue Necropolis, and Artem was red Castle. We both got mediocre starting hands. In the late game, I had a temporary advantage, but at a critical moment, my nerves failed me again – a mouse click failed to transfer artifacts from the artifact carrier to Tamika. As a result, the Viv and skeletons were lost, and Cobra predictably took 2nd place at the CНГ championship. This time, I wasn't upset, as I understood that I had shown a decent level of technique and strategy at the championship, given the impressive list of participants. And we'll work on our nerves :).

Thank you all for the games and the company! Until next time!

3. Victory over Bayazet. We decided to play a mirror match with full-WT for fun. We played on Dungeon maps. I was playing as Red Laura, and Lyokha was playing as Blue Das. The rollback was 2000. Considering the champion of CIS-2010 hadn't played for a long time, I thought there wouldn't be any major problems. However, the game turned out to be very exciting. I managed to kill the main hero and the support hero of my opponent on the last moves, at 127. It seemed logical to go for 131, but not in this game. 131 Bayazet would have taken his Utopia with control, and the game could have dragged on for a long time.

Everything was different! You owe your victory entirely and completely to Georgy Petrovich :smile12: :smile12: :smile12:

Everything happened differently! You owe your victory entirely to Gennady Petrovich:smile12: :smile12: :smile12:

Please come to the karaoke on BIS on September 3rd:D :D :smile04: :smile04:

Vanya, you're hilarious!!! GEORGIY Petrovich!!! And what's with this Gennady))) no offense to all the Gennadys ;)

p.s. For those who don't know. Drunken FTS caused a sensation, commenting on our game with Bayazet, explaining my strategy. We were practically lying under the table and physically couldn't play. The peak of the laughter was the image of Georgiy Petrovich. That's what Vanya called the Astral hero. "And this old man. This one with a beard. This is Georgiy Petrovich. He's just walking around, chik-chik. It's that easy."

It's a shame it wasn't recorded on a voice recorder; I think it would have become a legend.

Georgy Petrovich was simply magnificent :D

Kostya, please record a high-quality voiceover for the "PR Manager" role.
