KobRa_RR поздравляю! :smile25:

Congratulations on your victory, Artem!!!

Overall tournament statistics.

A total of 55 games were played:
- 28 wins for red
- 27 wins for blue

Castle selection:
53 - Castle (including 11 Castle-Castle pairs)
18 - Swamp
16 - Rampart (including 1 Rampart-Rampart pair)
8 - Fortress
7 - Stronghold
3 - Dungeon
2 - Tower
1 - Necropolis, Inferno, Tavern

Win percentage (excluding games with identical castles):
63% (5-3) - Fortress
57% (8-6) - Rampart
45% (14-17) - Castle
43% (3-4) - Stronghold
39% (7-11) - Swamp
for rarely played castles:
100% (2-0) - Tower
100% (1-0) - Necropolis, Inferno, Tavern
33% (1-2) - Dungeon

These are some amusing statistical quirks - Castle has a rather modest win rate against other castles, but it significantly outperforms them in terms of selection priority (in 48% of cases, players chose Castle).

Swamp was heavily discussed before the tournament, and even rose to 2nd place in terms of the number of games played, but the results turned out to be not very good.

Rampart has always been considered not the most convenient castle for Jeb, however, in this tournament, many players started playing it from the beginning. Apparently, the guaranteed elves seemed like a strong enough bonus. After a couple of rounds, the trend for Rampart faded, although the result turned out to be decent.

Fortress and Stronghold are still somewhat unknown - they weren't played that much, but they were played. Fortress has good statistics, Stronghold doesn't have very good statistics, but given the small sample size, it's difficult to draw definitive conclusions, especially since the playing style for them differs from the SoD style and hasn't been fully developed yet.

The situation with the other castles is amusing - they were chosen a few times, but the statistics are 100% for everyone except Dungeon. Mainly thanks to Sticky.

Statistics for the second starter in Castle-Castle pairs (the first starter is Valeska):
Caitlin - 4
Beatrice - 3
Orrin - 1
Lord Haart - 1
Loinis - 1
random - 1

The reports don't contain information about the size of the "kickbacks" and the selection of the winner, so the question is: in a Castle-Castle pair, what should you bargain for, in your opinion - the color or the hero? And what is a reasonable size for the "kickback"?

I was bidding for a hero, but only because of the timer, to finish everything faster. Around 2000 is a good amount.

First restart, a block of 75 Lizardmen (Kostya started throwing obstacles from afar) on the road = restart, then it got even worse: blocks on both roads, a path leading somewhere off-road into a dead end, showed it to the judges, they said "complete crap, but you have to play by the rules". I was thinking of contacting the AC, luckily Diabler turned out to be a good guy and gave me a tech, and I promised +1 restart and a round of drinks in return))
The final generation turned out to be balanced in terms of chances, but I made fewer mistakes and won!
Thanks for the game, Andrey!

This is my 5th victory on Jebus Cross (JC1 on HeroesWorld), the Polish league (the roster was decent, with our guys and some Western players), VT-Jebus Cross (Lizard and Stinger in the final), and Random Jebus Cross. To borrow a football term, I've earned a star for my jersey! :D
Thanks everyone for a great tournament!

Crabdom in all its glory. Thanks for the game. And congratulations on the win)

Moved to 124 with 4 angels and 20 ducks, after taking the Dragon Utopia house, cleared the center; at 132 via one-view I saw the opponent's exit and crushed them with KS
Thanks for the game
