Posts from CIS 2016

We rolled an ancient papal MM6, and an uber-pair of Necro-Necro came up. I gave same old Klavik for a symbolic 300 and bought the color for 1600. The map turned out to be very poor; both played excellently, but in extremely different ways. Artem went through Dragon Utopia in the near zones, while I went through control in the home Mage Guild. My kung fu proved stronger. Thanks for the game!

Am I correct in understanding that =Lizard= is the new CIS champion?;)

He really wants to become one! )

Round 3 results. Surprisingly, there were many "Smite" and "Jebus Cross" plays in this round; perhaps people were just tired of HL+U.

P.S.: And today, Mizrael is celebrating his birthday, so we congratulate him! :smile12:

Managed to rush in time.
Thanks for the game.

I spent a total of 3600 on the castle and color scheme (including Mikhail's 500 for regenerating the Necropolis-Tower pair). We played without restarts. I had few objects, but a good road network and 4 castles by week 1. Mikhail had a good start, but he lost momentum when trying to attack me with his heroes. Thanks for the game!

Yegor, thanks for the support, but the tournament is still ongoing.

Kostya, let's try our luck!


Misha, Happy Birthday!

My second game in this wonderful poker and Hearthstone tournament, but the opponent and I broke tradition and played "horses" instead.
In the first week, I moved into an adjacent zone, where I scouted and took four zombie external dwellings, planning to later trade them in the Dragon Utopia for something more valuable. The enemy necropolis was also captured. At the end of the week, the question of building nags arose. Due to a lack of money, I doubted their necessity for a long time, but eventually put them up. On 121 with 60 zombies and 120 blues, I decided to take conservatory 2. There wasn't enough money for the rest, but following Stiki's commandment, I decided that tempo is everything. I estimated the chances of success at 5% and, deciding that was enough, took the risk. The griffins let me down, and the angel was never delivered. After the loss, I had to wait another two days to buy a hero and nags to finish what I started in the conservatory. Losing two days was a smaller disappointment compared to all the sold resources. Farewell, guild upgrade.
In the third week, having accumulated power, I took the Dragon Utopia, which for three days prior I had to dance circles around until I found an approach. The reward was a book of air, and after that, I built a TP at home. In the fourth week, I gathered more troops than the opponent, but lagged behind in stats. I was caught in the Castle. I fought without the cloak of renunciation, with which the battle would have swung in my favor. 17 angels were weaker despite the opponent's 400 troglodytes and advantage in vivs. As it happened, I had to trade off to zero and start everything from scratch. Here the advantage was on my side; on the very first day, I gathered 600 skeletons from all castles, 4 angels from the conservatory, and having an advantage in the number of heroes and castles, I made a strategically important move — I left all artifacts on a secondary hero, including shackles, and gave myself up to the opponent in the Castle.
A well-deserved victory for the opponent. Thanks for the game.

Kostya, congratulations on your victory!

Mud (random, random, random) def HellLighT (Tried, but couldn't) CIS2016 :rolleyes:
I'll write the details later from home.

Garbage (random, random, random) def HellLighT (Tried hard, but couldn't pull it off) CIS 2016 :rolleyes:
I'll write more details when I get home.

I confirm. In my personal opinion, Hell is currently top-1, FTS is top-2, and I'm somewhere behind. But that's just how the stars aligned. But next year, we'll compete to repeat Stinger's achievement.

Round 4 draw:
Mizrael (blue, Inferno, Marius, Marius) lose =Lizard= (red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 6lm10 122
HellLighT (red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) lose Aiwe (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 8xm12a 141

Amiloo (red, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) def bayazet (blue, Fortress, Alkin, Alkin) 6lm10a 144
FireToSky (red, Conflux, ???) lose LuckyF (blue, Castle, Valeska, Alkin) 6lm10a 134
Dark (blue, Conflux, Aenain, Straker) lose KobRa_RR (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Gunnar) Spider 131
Amster free win

Thus, the final distribution of places looks like this (points and coefficient)
1. =Lizard= 4
2. Mizrael 3(9)
2. HellLighT 3(9)
2. Aiwe 3(9)
2. Amster 3(9)
3. Amiloo 3(6)
3. Lucky 3(6)
3. KobRa_RR 3(6)

The prize distribution ended up being from 2nd to 7th place, and the coefficient turned out to be surprisingly equal. The organizers decided to award medals for 2nd-3rd place to everyone on the list.

Dark vs KobRa - save, doesn't affect the prize distribution, they will finish the match later.
Amster free win

Why does the first post say that Lizard won, but here the 4th round is still in progress?

Why does the first post say that Lizard wins, while the fourth round is still ongoing?

Perhaps because he is the only one with 4 points out of 4 possible? :confused:
