It seems like FB-8 has just ended, the players have put their horses back in the stables, and Maretti is basking in his glory, but then... New heroes decided to challenge the champion and prove their strength in battles against him and other prize winners in the next final battle; in short, OFB-9 tournament is officially open.:smile03:



I. Regulations and deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using a "Swiss" system.

The tournament starts on April 20, 2015; registration ends on April 19, 2015 inclusive.

Each round lasts two weeks – matches will be scheduled without regard to opinions or authority (the only exception is CNG-15 in Volgograd).
Players can agree on a convenient time for themselves, but if they cannot reach an agreement, the critical time for the game is Saturday night - Sunday at 9:00 PM Moscow time - the game must last at least 5 hours (if it was not possible to play in one go, then in the second week - at least 7 hours)thus, in order to resolve the issue of awarding points, players must play at least 12 hours!!!, so I recommend contacting your opponent immediately after the draw and making arrangements; if you fail to do so, write to the organizer or judges; if you don't write, I assume that everything is fine with you and, in case of a controversial situation, I will proceed based on this. In case one player does not show up at the agreed time, the other player must write to the organizer or one of the judges, and when submitting the results, this will be the main argument.
This point is non-negotiable.

OFB will consist of 9 rounds; preliminarily, 7 players advance to the final stage, but under certain circumstances (such as tied places, a player who qualified for FB withdrawing, etc.), the host has the right to expand this list (has the right – does not mean he will necessarily do so – for particularly pedantic demagogues :) ).

The organizers reserve the right to change these regulations.

II. Rules and templates.

1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod latest version; by mutual agreement, WoG, HotA, or any other HOMM3 version can be used.
Games using HW rules mods are only allowed with mutual consent.
3. The template is chosen in turn from a list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish - standard (played with random castles at 200% difficulty with the HW_rules_mod patch, you can play mirror matches if both players want, Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked in red in the table chooses the template first (in this case, the player indicated as number 1 in the pair plays in red).
4. Castle selection... In this tournament, castle selection will be "optional," meaning there is no specific order – you want to play Necropolis? Please do so; you want to play Dungeon? Be my guest, BUT… you cannot play the same castle more than twice in the tournament (if this rule is violated, the match will be forfeited; upon recurrence, disqualification).
The red player starts choosing the castle. If the players want to play with the same castles, they must agree on who will play which one; if they fail to reach an agreement, they will play with random heroes.
This point is non-negotiable; if it doesn't suit you, don't play.
5. The winning player, before the end of the round deadline, must submit a report, and the losing player must confirm it - those who fail to comply with this rule will not be allowed to participate in the draw for the next round.
6. 2 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
Winners are determined by the number of points scored. In case of a tie, additional criteria apply:
1) Buchholz coefficient
2) Head-to-head result
7. Draws are prohibited in the last round!!!

III. Organizational issues
1. This is an official, regular tournament.
2. The tournament is held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
3. Tournament host: zloy_romantik (296524052), Palach HP (426409548) – organizational matters.
Tournament judge: Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873) and Pit for LM (471401475)
4. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. Saves from all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and submitted upon request from the tournament hosts or any member of the AC (Arbitration Committee).
6. If controversial situations arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve this, contact the host or judge in ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information. Appeals against decisions can and should be filed with the AC, not by starting arguments - I will delete such posts and punish offenders (Palach is co-host for a reason; he definitely has an axe :D ).
7. All games in the tournament count towards the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are posted in this thread and will be copied to the "Reports of online games and their confirmations" thread. Therefore, there is no need to duplicate reports in the season ranking.
8. The final stage of the tournament will be held using a round-robin system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other gaming resources are invited to participate in the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are allowed (applications will be considered individually).
3. Players who have just registered are not allowed to participate in the tournament (exception – active players from other gaming resources; applications will be considered individually).
4. Players with permanent bans are not allowed to participate in the tournament. If any player receives a permanent ban during the tournament, they will be disqualified, and their results will be annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who repeatedly "ignored" tournaments may be rejected.
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. Winners and 2nd/3rd place winners of FB-7 tournament are NOT eligible for selection (Maretti, Aive, and Stinger).
8. Attention all participants. Those who have unconfirmed reports that are one month or older at the start of the tournament will not be admitted. Please check current tournaments and the season ranking for outstanding debts!

Well, I think that's it; saddle up, and may the strongest win :smile13:

There’s no point in continuing in the tournament, and I’m short on time right now, so I’m withdrawing.

I took two stacks of 111 creatures, and my opponent took 111 creatures, with one being a tech rest for the upcoming battle. We started the battle, and I didn't take the last rest, even though there wasn't anything particularly special, except for 4 roads (for the blue side). My opponent also didn't take a rest. On the rest screen, I saw a hidden gnome stack. Kiray took a mini-gnome with 111 attack, and it performed well. On the next turn, Kiray visited the stables, the experience stone, and positioned himself near the second-tier guard. The next day, my opponent typed "gg." Thank you for your time!

A rather interesting game turned out.
We immediately played out the first layout. I got Müllich, the opponent didn't resist, which is strange. I thought Kyrre had come up there, and turned out to be partly right, since Gosh was also there. But I have stables, a dwelling for archers and pikemen, 2 exits to surface secondary [towns], normal resource buildings, and a dwelling for angels. Müllich gets Earth as his second skill. Until week 1 day 1:7 I run back and forth, first I took a Double, then also a Rampart, Craig was found, also an exit to the opponent's surface secondary. Seeing Gosh in the tavern on day 1:5, I realized I had to act fast. On day 1:6 Müllich defeats 35 Diamond [Golems] for the dwelling of gryphons and the dwelling itself, they bring him a Helm +3, with which he refills at a very conveniently located well near the stables and immediately fights into the Rampart for the spellbook, where in the Mage Guild they gave everything needed for Earth. On day 1:7 Müllich stands at the entrance to the zone of the opponent's secondary, and Erdamon on an angel is already there, having broken through the guard of 20-49 Evil Eyes. On day 2:1 I buy what I can, build chains and a treadmill, run through the view [obstacle] to the opponent's secondary. On day 2:2 I almost reach it — it's Conflux. On their turn, the red player makes some moves: Gosh is bought in Conflux and runs down from the road into the darkness. On my day 2:3 I take Conflux, do reconnaissance — Gosh is standing in front of the teleporter to the treasury, I attack with Celka — there are 4 angels, 260+1+1+1+1+1 bone [dragons], +1 speed and mana for one cast. The saddest part is that Müllich can't reach... But through a maneuver, Craig can reach, who on the way to Gosh's advances Air [Magic] with Haste. I attack. Tons of mana, since together with Müllich, Craig replenished mana with the Helm back on the 1st week.
Craig: 8 2 4 7(50), 2 angels, 5 champions, 70 archers, 70 pikemen, 9 griffins, 6 swordsmen
Gosh: 3 4 5 4(7), 4 angels, 260+1+1+1+1+1 bone [dragons], +1 speed

The angels, thanks to the first speed, immediately charge into the archers and exactly halve them; in return, they take minus 3 after the [attack] call, and Slow on the bones. After the angels and singles were taken down, and Haste on the bones was again replaced with Slow, I run around the field and through Wait hit and shoot down the remaining bones. GG.

Thanks for the game.

It was a rather interesting game.
We immediately played the first layout. I got Mullich, the opponent didn't resign, which was strange. I thought Kyrre had come up, and turned out to be partly right, as Gosh was also there. But I have stables, a dwelling of archers and pikemen, 2 exits to the opponent's grass secondary, decent money buildings, and a dwelling of angels. Mullich gets Earth as his second skill. Until week 1 day 1 I run back and forth, first I took a double, then a ramp, Krag was found, also there is an exit to the opponent's grass secondary. Seeing Gosh in the tavern on week 1 day 1, I realized I had to act fast. On week 1 day 1, Mullich hits 35 diamond golems for the dwelling of griffins, the dwelling itself, he is given a helm +3, with which he replenishes at a well very conveniently located near the stables and immediately fights into the ramp for a tome, where in the Mage Guild they gave everything needed for Earth. On week 1 day 1, Mullich stands at the entrance to the opponent's secondary zone, and Erdamon on an angel is already there, having broken through the guard of 20-49 evil eyes. On week 1 day 2, I buy everything I can, build chains and a delivery, run through the view to the opponent's secondary. On week 1 day 2, I almost reach it - Conflux. On their turn, the red player makes some moves: in Conflux, Gosh is hired and runs down from the road into the dark. On my week 1 day 2, I take Conflux, do reconnaissance - Gosh stands before a teleport to a treasure, I attack with Celka - there are 4 angels, 260+1+1+1+1+1 skeletons, +1 to speed and mana for one cast. The worst part is that Mullich can't reach... But through a split, Krag reaches him, who, on his way to Gosh, advances Air with Haste. I attack. Lots of mana, since together with Mullich, Krag replenished mana with the helm back on the 1st week.
Krag 8 2 4 7(50) 2 angels. 5 champions, 70 archers, 70 pikemen, 9 griffins, 6 swordsmen
Gosh 3 4 5 4(7) 4 angels, 260+1+1+1+1+1 skeletons, +1 to speed

The angels, due to their superior speed, immediately charge into the archers and exactly halve them, in return they get minus 3 after the melee hit, Slow on the skeletons. After the angels and singles were taken out, and Haste on the skeletons was again replaced with Slow, I run around the field and, using wait, hit and shoot the remaining skeletons. GG.

Thanks for the game.
Just didn't have enough mana.
Thanks for the game.

I took two 111s, and he took 111 and one was a tech rest for the match. We played a round, and I didn't take the last rest, even though there wasn't anything special, except for 4 roads (for the blue side). My opponent also didn't take a rest. On the rest, I saw a hidden gnome. Kirai took a mini-gnome on 111 and ran normally. On the next turn, Kirai visited the stable, the experience stone, and stood next to the second-tier guard. The next day, my opponent wrote "gg." Thank you for your time!

An insanely long late game with a bunch of mistakes, an exhausting game. Where I turned out to be slightly more fortunate and, with the help of КЗ, gained control of the map.
Thanks for the game!

Game 1
On week 2, in the treasure zone I took an external dwelling of bears, then near the Barbarian computer's [town] I placed white bears, and collected as many as 17 bear cubs.

The opponent on week 2 lost in the Griffin Conservatory with 0 [army]. But after pouring control into Dessa, Gunnar, and Monere, [they] were covering 2-4 castles per turn, while Aislin with a portal was hiding along with the army, simultaneously managing to necro and demon [units].

And so Ivor stands in the middle of the field, without friends and without shelter, but with Dimension Door, Fly, 3500 movement points, and a decent brigade, and thinks: why was it necessary to strain and swing the sword, if it's enough to climb onto a magic carpet, and from there, from above, shout: Draw!
I understand that it's for exactly such cases that 3 Dimension Doors were banned.

Game 2
Same [players] in the arena.
While Valya is picking [fights] in the treasure zone on week 2, Shakhter, with 4 phoenixes and 3 angels, shies away from the guards into a sandy treasure zone, like the devil from holy water, somewhere deep into the respawn of the computer-Flax, supposedly for resources. Though [he] does find a couple of angels. And now young but daring Crag Hack runs through the underground Necro treasure zone along a very long path. Without looking, he mows down 50+ Wizards in his path for a sword +12/-3, and still reaches the village. He also reveals a third Dragon Utopia with КЗ. And the Wings are lying in this same treasure zone.

Monere and Shakhter together slip past two Dragon Utopias and reach the third КЗ. And by then, the [sacrificial] chump for the flight to Valka's respawn is already ready.

In short, my Castle [player] and two of my computer-controlled castles [are taken]. Valka, in the second treasure zone, snaps up three Dragon Utopias, gets the Wings, and another multi-hour search for the portal begins. But alas...
But this time Shakhter jumped [in power] only twice as much, so [he wins] in the Final Battle without a chance.

P.S. In society, there will always be people who use the imperfections of the law for their own benefit, and often to the detriment of others. Of course, they are not judged for this, but 'thank you' is not said either

Thank you for the game!

That was something.
I reached the computer-Dungeon in the beginning of the second week, and I already had Manticores, but then an opponent with 5 Angels appeared at the second crossroads. I had nothing to counter them with, so I ran to the corner treasure. It was empty. The opponent went straight down the path, through my crossroads, and right into my capital.

I ran to the second corner treasure, the opponent was about to chase me, but he turned around and took my computer-Dungeon. I gathered some minor items in the treasure, but against the triple growth from the Dungeon, and also with a Castle Shahter, I couldn't stand a chance. Capitulation.

Thank you for the game!

06/24/2015 KobRa_RR (Blue, Necropolis, Tant, Galtran) def GoD (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 6lm10a 213

I chose 6lm10a, but Zhenek took Dungeon, so I had to take Necropolis as a counter... I had no money, I barely managed to put down some horses, and they even added some computers on the first day)). From turn 131, I saw that my opponent was jumping around in the center, and in the middle of the third week, I was already thinking of writing a report saying that I don't know how to play Necropolis without a Ghoul and a Vampire Lord :D, but then everything suddenly changed: my opponent exposed his Ghoul's assistant, not knowing that I had a damage dealer (I didn't expect it myself, I got it in a scroll)), which I took down with armbands, and immediately bought him in the tavern!! There was an offensive, defensive, and logistics skill, a perfect upgrade in general, only without wisdom, I bought some water and fire just in case, and I ended up with 2 heroes with 3500 MP and 2 damage dealers + teleport! Then I helped a little and took him down in the super treasure.
Thanks for the game!

We caught Ghoul on the run, and on the same day, he appeared in the tavern... that's what decided it.

Thanks for the game!
