Why don't you upload your replays to heroes3.tv?

Why not? Is it difficult?

It seems not. “Currently, to have your stream featured on HEROES3.TV, you need to either write to the VKontakte group (http://vk.com/heroes3tv) with a request, or send an email to info@heroes3.tv.”

I don't think so. "Currently, to have your stream appear on HEROES3.TV, you need to either write to the VKontakte group of twarin (http://vk.com/heroes3tv) with a request, or to info@heroes3.tv"

I wrote, but there was no response.

So, you’ve finally been added. Things don’t happen as quickly there.

I looked at the results and was touched... Well done, guys, for still playing. Maybe I'll come back someday ;)

We're trying to play. Sometimes it even works out :) We're eagerly awaiting each game. I saw the post and immediately remembered the fun Habbo times. It was cool :)

We played the final with Shnurov. I couldn't get into the game properly. More precisely, I started well, but after the third turn, I had to leave for half an hour. Half an hour turned into an hour, and then an hour and a half. I came back feeling exhausted and lost the battle on the Gloves, where I lost my runner. We were playing Power Spot. It was going great. Battles with almost no losses and excellent joining. Many Cyclops and Ifrits on the respawn, as well as near the entrance to the center. I watched Shnurov's recordings. He had, in my opinion, a very rare start. Already on the second day, he completed the quest under the Gargoyles, joining them with a Master Diplomat. On the third day, he joined another Gargoyle guarding the level 3 monsters. Here, Shnurov, like me on the Gloves, loses his runner. Only he manages to take the Castle with a double join, and I can't do the same. I really regret not playing the game properly. I couldn't cope with the circumstances outside the game, but I did everything I could in the game. The awkward isometric view ruined the tactics. You can see the mistake in the third part of my video; the battle itself starts at the 4th minute. My recordings of the classic PS start in three parts are here, here, and here.

What Shnurov did in three days is difficult to describe adequately in a short time. It's better to watch it in full in two parts here and here.

I felt like Nadikus - when a disruption in strategy leads to a loss due to the opponent's overly successful game. I couldn't pull myself together after losing the runner. I watched Shnurov's recordings. The report is well-deserved. It's hard to be happy - I really wanted to settle things in hand-to-hand combat. But it can definitely be said that this year we had our best World Championship. If Zezuk had competed with Gastn for bronze, it would have been even better.

Thank you to all the participants for the games! Congratulations to Gastn on the bronze! Congratulations to Shnurov on the gold!

Shnurov and I played in the final.

It happened. To have even a slight chance, I had to come up with a plan. I executed my plan as intended. I had zero chance on "technical" maps like the Circle. Therefore, I gave Ruslan the choice between a "deployable" PS and a strong Bizarro. Ruslan chose PS. I'm counting on the deployment and strength. So, I leave the option of keeping a death with a bunch of uninteresting monsters like ice and bone creatures for myself, and I focus on preventing Ruslan from gaining access to the town portal. This is an obvious chaotic situation that is very difficult to play without losses.
Let's start. The starting position is excellent (which is what I planned!). On the market, there are venom and devil creatures, and two dwellings of venom creatures. There are 2 stacks of spellcasters. As a result, I get the best PS start in my life. With a free altar of nobility, I get a master diplomat. This is enough to join a gargoyle on a quest. The quest gives 3 ice creatures! Another join at the quest with vampires. 2 joins at 2 cities. As a result, I get a city on the third day. I start developing a future decent mage. And I have a quite combat-ready army even without level 3 dwellings. I also considered leaving space for a powerful stack of mages, which could be bought on the external market. Then came the surrender. Which, however, I secretly expected. What can you do? The level of play is too incomparable.
This was a strange championship. I won purely on strength. Thank you all. :)

It’s a pity that many unfairly overlook the fourth installment due to imposed stereotypes, even though it has the most extensive multiplayer capabilities. I would like to play with you, but I’m afraid I’ll lose badly as a newbie, because my style is the standard “campaign” style: 2 heroes in the army + all the units of the castle (although I sometimes remove some of the slower units). And here, everywhere you look, an army consists of 6 heroes and a fast unit for speed…

I'd like to play with you, but I'm afraid I'll lose badly as a newbie, because my style is the standard "campaign style": 2 heroes in the army + all the units of the castle (although I sometimes reduce the number due to lag).

Right now, people are playing the fourth installment on Heroes Portal. We can meet up there.

Good afternoon. When will the next tournament be held?

Next year.
