"King of the Hill-2" Tournament

King of the Hill is an ongoing tournament based on the "play until you are defeated" principle, where only two players can participate at a time – the loser gives up their place to the next contender, and the winner continues playing until they lose themselves. In other words, players must try to defeat the current King of the Hill and end his winning streak; the player who defeats him takes his place. The winner of the previous tournament is HellLight.

Organizational matters:
1. Tournament organizers – Nitro, skd; judge – Dirty Player.
2. The tournament starts on April 1, 2016. The deadline is April 1, 2017.
3. The tournament will be held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments.
4. All games in the tournament are played within the HoMM3 HW Player Rating system.
5. Minor adjustments to the regulations may be made during the tournament.
6. If any controversial issues arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve them, contact one of the organizers or the tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily save files, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
7. Any unjustified delays in the game, squabbles, and disrespectful behavior towards opponents will be strictly punished, up to a permanent ban from the tournament.

Requirements for participants:
1. Experienced Heroesworld players are invited to participate in the tournament.
2. Players with a General rating of 1800+, as well as players included in the top-15 Tournament Ranking, have the right to register freely for the tournament (at any time from the start of registration until the start of the tournament).
3. Applications for participation from other players will be considered by the organizers and the tournament judge individually.
4. You can submit an application to participate even after the start of the tournament.

The winner of the tournament will receive:
1. An avatar award: King's crown

2. Cash prize: $200 + donation (to a bank account or Paypal) within a week after the results are announced.
Donation:

Spent all rests and the luck distribution. I got a good respawn, but not much money + the 2000 that the opponent just happened to get were felt from the start. At 121 I grabbed a 2nd Griffin Conservatory, at 123 I grabbed a max Griffin Conservatory with a loss of 6 skeletons and 9 spearmen))...at 125 I broke a mini Dragon Utopia, they gave me junk...I had a portal scroll to the start of the 3rd, quickly built up the Necropolis...and then just grinding everything everywhere...then towards the end of the 3rd I went on the attack and ran straight into a noob with his whole army, and Taz was nearby...attacked Taz with shackles and ГГ...built up 1600+ gold skeletons, 16 angels, 37 ducks and other army.
Thanks for the game!

Used all restarts and gave away luck. My respawn was decent but with little gold + 2000 that randomly went to the opponent was felt from the start. On 121 I took a Conservatory 2, on 123 I took a max Conservatory with the loss of 6 skeletons and 9 pikemen))... on 125 I broke a mini Dragon Utopia, got junk... I had a portal scroll by the start of week 3, quickly built up Necropolis... then it was just grinding everywhere... then at the end of week 3 I went on the offensive and ran right into Lojek with his whole army, and Tazar was nearby... I attacked Tazar with Shackles and GG... I ground 1600+ gr skeletons, 16 angels, 37 dragons and other army.
Thanks for the game!

Start was perfect, gorgon dwelling by town, took it with Ciele, and captured flux AI, scouted 3 cons, and another gorgon dwelling. I took the cons early week 2, and headed for tope 126, but it was garbage. Then tope 131, got wings, but Tazar was very slow without logistics, no stables / boots either, I had gloves from day 4 but that didn't help much. I had 2 more topes, but both were 3-4 days walk from the closest town, and I had swamp treasure next to my start area, I went there because it was close and hoped I got something good. Meanwhile I built up flux MG to lvl4, then lost it like an idiot and couldn't rebuild it, but had scarce resources anyway. Swamp treasure gave nothing to boost my speed (+4 all and +3 all on ground, no topes). If I had gone for the topes instead, I would get air tome, but with limited movement and the tope with air book was in the middle of nowhere, I don't know how I could have played it better. Opp played his side perfectly, so well deserved win, as always.

The most epic part here wasn't the game itself, but the bargaining and restarts. First, while negotiating for Shakhter, I profitably sold my Castle, and taking into account the tournament bonus, I ended up getting a red dungeon and +5400 gold. Level 80 Merchant :D. Then came, perhaps, the funniest rests in my life. First surrender: nobody takes 111; on the second day, I find not a single creature bank and take 112. In the next surrender, I didn't risk taking 111, although there was nothing useful other than Galtran with 2 stacks who got logu. Vitaliy also didn't take 111, and then didn't take 112 either. On my 113, I opened up my entire respawn; it became completely bleak. A respawn the size of a fist, not even enough to properly poke at, no idea what to actually bring into the center with. But then the opponent gives me a mega-gift in the form of his same "papa" 113. The epic didn't end there. In the next surrender, Shakhter gets 1 stack, but Müllich enters and immediately levels up to 6lvl, while the losers successfully take a box of 60 gr. troglodytes — they become 150+. Naturally, I play, but Vitaliy is blocked... Next surrender — Shakhter has 1 stack again, and everything is bleak; I take the remaining 111. Finally, the next surrender, played out: 3 stacks for Shakhter, a few troglodyte caches, a mini-con taken on 112, Gurni had already leveled up exp. artillery on 111 chests and easily dismantled 12 monarchs with 112 and an angel for a box of 10K experience. Got land, logu, search. A total "papa" in general. Came out as 121 at full speed, immediately took the central Castle and Dragon Utopia. Then I completely devoured the center, ran to get my home Dragon Utopia, and waited for the opponent. As soon as he appeared, I crushed him with bracers. Total advantage in power and especially stats. Thanks for the game!

p.s. I won't be able to play tomorrow, so the next tournament not before Monday.

The most epic part here wasn't the game itself, but the bidding and restarts. First, while bidding for the Miner, I profitably sold the Castle, and considering the tournament bonus, ended up with a red dungeon and +5400 gold. A level 80 Merchant :D. Then came, perhaps, the funniest restarts of my life. First draw: no one takes 111; on the second day, I don't find a single creature bank and take 112. In the next draw, I didn't risk taking 111, although aside from Galtran with 2 stacks who got Logistics, there was nothing worthwhile. Vitaliy also didn't take 111, and then didn't take 112 either. On my 113, I revealed my entire respawn, and it became quite bleak. A tiny respawn, not even decently farmable, no idea what to go into the center with. But then my opponent gives a mega-gift in the form of his papal 113. The saga didn't end there. In the following draw, the Miner gets 1 stack, but Mullich spawns, who immediately levels up to 6, and the mooks luckily take a box with 60 gr. troglodytes — they become 150+. Naturally I play, but Vitaliy has a block... Next draw — the Miner has only 1 stack again, and everything is bleak, I take the remaining 111. Finally, the next draw, the one we played: 3 stacks for the Miner, several external dwellings of troglodytes, a mini-Griffin Conservatory taken on 112, Gurney already on 111 leveled Expert Artillery from chests and on 112 easily took out 12 Monarchs for a chest of 10K experience with an angel. Got Earth, Logistics, Pathfinding. Mega-daddy overall. I went out 121 from a full clear, immediately took the central castle and Dragon Utopia. Then I completely cleared the center, ran for the home Dragon Utopia and waited for my opponent. As soon as he showed up, I crushed him with Bracers. Total advantage in power and especially stats. Thanks for the game!

p.s. I won't be able to play tomorrow, so the next round won't be before Monday.

The best was the first generation, then it seemed okay, but by 113 I scouted a bad block + very poor terrain spread, mountains everywhere... and since I had little gold, I decided to take 113, even though there were a couple of Griffin Conservatories and an external angel dwelling.
In the decisive draw, I squeezed everything out of the respawn, but didn't make it to the center in time. On the respawn, Hives with 34 ducks and only one mini-Griffin Conservatory. One Dragon Utopia was complete nonsense, the second was good, but by parameters I was losing.
Thanks for the game!

Question for the organizers: is it possible, by agreement with the opponent, to play a map that is not in the declared pool? For example, a mirror match.

No, I don't know how Nitro handles it.
In any case, this option was not even discussed during the regulation discussion.

In theory, it should be possible because players can even stream the game and then write any template in the report, and no one will do anything if it's impossible to track the execution of such things, so why prohibit them? Also, it's unclear why there isn't a mirror map in the pool. I would suggest, with the consent of 80% of the tournament participants, to change the balance to a mirror map.

This option is usually used in tournaments where templates are chosen randomly. In this tournament, both in King of the Hill 1 and King of the Hill 2, the template selection system is based on the challenger having the opportunity to choose a template that is inconvenient for the current King of the Hill. The regulations do not provide for any possibility of changing the rules by agreement. Initially, it was designed this way to make it more difficult for the King of the Hill to stay at the top. I'm not sure that most people would welcome a mirror SOD (Same Old Dungeon), especially since a separate themed tournament for the mirror is planned for the near future. Absolutely every player has their own preferences for templates. In addition, new players can register for the tournament. Are you suggesting that after each new registration, the templates should be re-selected?

Okay, the balance could still be improved; at least it's just a poorly designed and uninteresting template. But why is anarchy needed in a tournament with rules?! In my opinion, including it in regular tournaments is at least strange.
