Actually, Loinz should have been disqualified a long time ago, as he missed three games within the deadline, and he hasn't been active on the forum or responded on ICQ for a month now.

Well, if Tanya disqualifies him, it will bring up an old, unresolved problem with all group tournaments – who advances to the next round if there are two qualifying spots, but more than two contenders with the same results. Maybe they could play an extra game with all three? Or draw lots? Or is there some other optimal solution?

Thank you for the game.

You're welcome, thanks for the game too!

Dear tournament participants, we remind you that there is 1 round left until the end of the group stage = 2 weeks until May 31st, inclusive.

If you encounter problems with completing games (2 weeks are given for each started game), or if your opponent is blatantly ignoring your game requests, and if the opponent does not respond or does not want to finish the game, please let me know (with a screenshot from the chat). P.S. If anyone has written anything, please update the information.

Group 1
The leaders are already known:
Medium_HP - 1st place
Aiwe - 2nd place
Group 2
Chemist_HP - has played all games and advances to the playoffs.
BISHOP - a candidate for the playoffs, where are the other 2 games?
Group 3
Maretti advances to the playoffs, an important game is needed in the group with Makiavelli, why aren't you playing, what's the problem?
The situation in the group is unclear, why aren't you finishing the games? There is 1 round left = 2 weeks. I'm waiting for news in the chat.
Group 4
LuckyF - 1st place
silenthill doesn't want to compete for a place in the playoffs?
Group 5
What's with the delays? Let's play. Or is Amilu letting Togu into the playoffs?
Group 6
A fun group... finish your remaining games to clarify the situation in the group!
Group 7
It seems that only Redi wants to advance?
Group 8
Player Loinz has not played the required number of games within the deadline and does not respond to requests, so he is disqualified from the tournament. 3 players from the group Sanin, Dave_HUN, Kilgor have the same number of points. A second round of games will be scheduled to determine who advances to the playoffs. In case of a tie, the rating will be the main criterion for advancing from the group.
Group 9
This is just awful! What's going on in the group? Why aren't you playing? I'm waiting for explanations in the chat.
Group 10
korvet has an important game with u2noob, or are you giving up without a fight?
Group 11
cost has an important game with Dark30, Tvaryna with Nitro as well. If there are no results, a replay will be scheduled 100%.
Group 12
Kobra and marajan don't want to compete for a place in the playoffs?
Group 13
There are already 2 leaders, the remaining players must finish their games in time to continue participating in the tournament. The situation is unclear, the result depends on you.
Group 14
HellLighT is in the lead, the second player is still uncertain, and finishing the games is needed to determine the final standings.
Group 15
Again, there are 2 leaders, and the rest have decided to withdraw from the tournament without a fight?
Group 16
Trolling Group. The group leader Sevensan has withdrawn, Dark has also withdrawn from the tournament, as he has played 50% of the games, so the remaining players will be awarded technical wins.
Blitz - 1st place
Mizrael - 2nd place


The group stage ends on May 31, 2016. No saves or completed games will be accepted after this date. The results will be based on the submitted tournament reports. If no information is received, the results will be based on the submitted reports.

The opponent was too quick to surrender. If we hadn't met on the 2nd map (which wasn't planned), the lack of Water creatures and extremely weak Tier 3 units could have decided the outcome...

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game!

+3000. We played the first game a long time ago... it wasn't played quickly because of me, as I wanted to finish the game with Amster first and understand my chances (but Amster is also quite indecisive). Anyway, yesterday we tried to finish it, but Lyokha messed up the saves and passwords a bit. We decided not to bother and play a new game - luckily, the previous one was roughly even. In the new game, I didn't take the last restart, and it turned out I was right.
Thank you for the games and your patience!

We could have played this game a little longer, but I couldn't stand it and left. Thanks for the game!

Thank you for playing!

Group 7
Looks like only Redi wants to advance?

We haven't heard from Wizard in a long time. If he shows up, we'll try to play.

It turned out to be a very long game, which I could have finished without any difficulty by week 4. I rushed and saw a main unit that I could have attacked. In the end, I let it go and prolonged the game, in which I wasn't meant to catch up with the opponent. The opponent attacked on their own. And in the battle, there were also serious mistakes that almost left me with no chance, but the opponent also made a number of mistakes and left my archers under antimagic, which made them virtually invincible. Thank you for the game! Also, thank you very much for a separate act of sportsmanship during the game!

I gifted the game. Thank you for the game.

Thank you for the game.

I don't remember how much I paid for the red Rampart, and I placed Ivora there just for fun. At the end of the third week, I found a Town Portal scroll and immediately built his dwellings, developed air control in the Utopia, and started upgrading Dessa. In the fourth week, I started taking cities from the AI and my opponent. The advantage was on my side: the armies were equal, but my hero's stats and combat skills were much better than the opponent's, and I had full control of the map. Further, in my desire to capture as many cities as possible, I used several heroes with army transfers, and I put a not-fully-upgraded Dessa in a vulnerable position under the opponent's Castle. In my haste, I didn't leave enough mana for a Town Portal. And here it happened: Dessa lacked mana, she didn't have a red orb or a cloak (and this was after four Utopias, although she could have gotten a cloak on the next turn), and I also forgot to equip an antimagic scroll. Then, without even checking Dessa, who had much higher stats (compared to his +3 attack), the opponent attacked me with his main hero, without even scouting. In the battle, my +3 morale didn't bring any benefit, and the opponent won the battle with magic, using Shackles. He survived with 9 angels, finishing with a beautiful Armageddon spell. Seeing such a clumsy opponent, and having a well-developed hero Ivora and 3-4 other mages of level 10 and higher, who would soon have teleportation and other spells from the home guild, which I had already rebuilt 4 times, I, to the great surprise of the opponent, decided to continue. Next, I accumulated a new army while maintaining control of the map and avoiding encounters with the enemy. In terms of army, we eventually became equal, but I still hadn't gained enough stats. The two captured Utopias didn't give me anything special. On the 5th week, after the 8th game with the opponent and almost my 24-hour stream, I again put Dessa in a vulnerable position (she was fortunately found in a tavern on the second day after the first Fortress Battle). Dessa was no stranger to this:smile34:. Half of my troops remained with Ivora, and the opponent, using the Armageddon spell, again destroyed all the troops, and not only mine. He had only 1 angel left, and the phoenixes died, including because of the equipped black orb, but this didn't bother him. Considering the larger number of castles and the growth, and the availability of a Cloak of Disruption, I naturally didn't give up: I had 12 unicorns in my dwellings and another +2 hidden units, and I still had 4-5 heroes with full control, while the opponent only had his main hero. It was now easier to win than after the first Fortress Battle. However, the opponent decided to make it easier for me and, on the next turn, attacked the Flaxen Castle without a hero and, for reasons I don't understand, again used the Armageddon spell with the equipped black orb, destroying his main hero. Then there was a discussion about how I should, according to the rules of honor, give him an automatic win, and this was motivated by the following: I didn't know how the black orb worked, and someone had once told me and given me incorrect information (allegedly, it only removes immunity from the enemy, so why wasn't he confused by the loss of phoenixes in the battle with Dessa?); I misclicked and forgot to transfer troops (what does this have to do with it, and even if that's the case, why attack the castle instead of immediately writing about it?); and finally, the classic - I'm a noob, you're a pro, so you should give me a break. I don't see the point in explaining why I didn't give him an automatic win, and I just happily went to sleep)).
Thanks for the game.
