Tournament "PATH TO OLYMPUS"


EPILOGUE:

Since new tournaments, both online and offline, appear in the Heroes community every day – or rather, they don't appear at all. I decided to organize and run this tournament. The idea of the tournament is as old as the world itself – only those participants whom I personally approve will be able to participate in it, with the exception of cases where AK prohibits someone from participating. Basically, this category includes players with 1700+ rating points, but I repeat that this criterion is not mandatory for everyone.
The prize fund for the tournament will be 10,000 rubles plus sponsorship money from anyone who wants to contribute. The distribution of prizes will be as follows:
1st place – 70%;
2nd place – 30%.
If you like the idea of the tournament, want to support it, and have the means, any material assistance will go towards increasing the prize fund (all my contact information is provided; call, write, etc.).
Details on how to support the tournament and increase its prize fund:

Sberbank card 4276 5600 1455 6874

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Tournament organizer: Dark (303751774).
Tournament judges: Dark (303751774), skd (593626431).
2. The tournament takes place according to the current forum rules, which are currently /topic/10593/.
3. Version for SoD 3.2 (4.0) +HD-mod game.
4. Template selection is done by choosing from a list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Jebus cross, 8xm12a, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, Spider, 8хm8а, Mini-nostalgia, Diamond marked in red in the table starts selecting templates first. In the group stage, red indicates the player listed first in the pair (e.g., No. 1 vs. No. 3, meaning No. 1 is red).
Changes to the main rules regarding the timer:
4.1. Chess timer:
for l+y 16+6+1,
for hl+y 16+8+1,
for jebus 21+8+1.15. (roads only FAST!)
Total restarts 113 (111+111+111, 112+111, 113).
Random castle selection and trade:
The host generates a random pair of castles using a special button. Immediately after generation, each player can request a regeneration once for 500 coins as compensation to their opponent. If at least one castle repeats during regeneration, that same player has the right (but is not obligated) to request one free regeneration. Trading begins with the player who is not the host of the game. If identical castles are drawn (so to speak), a free regen is carried out if at least one player expresses a desire. Provided that both agree to play mirror match, players have the right to ban 1 hero each; the host of the game starts banning heroes. In this case, there is also trading for heroes after the ban.
Color trade.
Starting January 11, 2017, on the Mini-nostalgia template, the order of computer selection will be determined by flipping a coin.
4.2. Guild of Mages restructuring – enabled.
4.3. One-sided unit replacement – disabled.
5. All tournament games will count towards the seasonal rating; an report must be provided for each played game (the organizer has the right to remove a player from the tournament if the player does not confirm the report for the previous game(s)).
6. Saves of all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and saves and passwords must be presented upon first request from organizers and judges of the tournament. Failure to provide a password may result in a technical defeat. It should also be noted that passwords for saves must also be provided to opponents upon their first request after the game is played; failure to comply with this rule will result in disciplinary action up to and including disqualification.
7. All controversial issues are resolved through the organizer or judges of the tournament. Organizers and judges follow the current forum rules and logic in contentious situations.
8. The organizer reserves the right not to allow a player to participate in the tournament without explanation.
9. If a participant cannot personally agree with their opponent on a game, they must immediately notify the judge. In such cases, the judge decides on scheduling an ODD (One Day Delay).
Minimum game time when scheduling an ODD – 5 hours.
10. There will be 40 participants, and the tournament will be awarded Official status, and the winner will receive an award under their avatar (in development).
11. The winner of the tournament will have the right to participate in the Wild card tournament for FB-11.
12. By submitting your application, you agree to the regulations and terms of the tournament.
13. The tournament organizer reserves the right to change the rules at its discretion, guided by common sense and logic.

Bought Castle for 5K, color for 1.5K. Everything was rerolled, and the opponent even gave me 2 terrible hands in a row with a 2-hero split and no prospects, when I had no restarts left. In the played hand, the split turned out to be 5 heroes. 111 Tazar took a box for 5K experience, expertised Armor and Pathfinding. Then he got Offense and Earth. 112 took a gold mine and Gloves. 114 Hive on 6 and a mini-Griffin Conservatory. 121 took a weak Dragon Utopia with 28 Monks, 2 Angels, and an Ogre Mage (stats 5-7, expert Offense, expert Defense, Mass Shield). 1 Angel and only 1 Monk died thanks to Papal Morale on the Monks in round 1. Got +5 All, КО, and Boots of Resistance. With the leveled Resistance and Resistance Cloak - a decent combo. 123 rushed to the center, but the road was long and I didn't make it to the central Castle. 124 took a Dragon Utopia with КЗ and returned home to the Dungeon town. News of capitulation arrives. Thanks for the game!

The opponent never got any jumps throughout the entire game. As for me, I had Town Portal and Dimension Door from scrolls since the second week, and 2 Logisticians in my stacks.

After the faction balance change, the exchange rate is almost 0, and there's no point in trying to compete again in a party that doesn't have any tournament significance.
Thank you for the game.

After the Facebook exchange, it was almost a draw, and starting over in a match that doesn't have any tournament significance didn't seem worthwhile.
Thank you for the game.

In this match, Yar Mishuta is awarded a technical defeat.

After FB the trade was almost zero, to power up again, in a game without tournament significance, we saw no point.
Thanks for the game
very difficult game with 3 mini Dragon Fly Hives in the middle of nowhere behind tough guards. eh, there was no resistance, no anti-magic, otherwise it would have been an easy FB... also i thought, when the opponent had 13 ducks left, not to shoot with the ballista—but still chickened out, that he would buy himself out with 11 (2 ballistas were killing), so i left him 2, otherwise i could have killed him. later the game boiled down to searching for anti-magic and powering up on heroes, agreed to a draw. thanks for the game

Thanks for the game.
Start with an external dwelling of elves, not bad. But then a mix of bad luck and clumsy play.
I revealed a Dragon Utopia in an adjacent treasure zone, roads are long so the plan was to gather Dragon Fly Hives and head there. With the Dragon Fly Hives, a nasty situation occurred - from 4 hives I dug up only 20 Wyverns. No angels, simply no gold. I never reached my own town, which later severely impacted the tempo.
The opponent's Necro appeared with stats, fighting in the field was not an option - another few days of tempo lost. But I had a Dimension Door scroll. I build a Mage Guild in the village, Dessa fends off AI noob hero raids that stubbornly try to take it through wasteland. Just as I was ready to build the 5th level, the AI brings an overwhelming army. I surrender the town, buy troops, halve the army with lightning bolts, evacuate the scout hero. I retake the town and a major fail - greed stopped me from buying at least 2 Eyes from the external dwelling (resources were tight), I attack with Solmyr, and he has the full setup with Ballista, First Aid Tent, and Ammo Cart. In short, I didn't kill. Next turn, he takes the empty town again. Basically lost several days for nothing (Kirryusha meanwhile was unsuccessfully exploring an empty treasure zone).
And the main mistake was going to take that same Dragon Utopia. The next turn, the opponent takes another very strategic tree town with Dragon Utopias and a Griffin Conservatory, and afterward leaves no chance to retake it.

There was a chance to hold on with a good stack of elves if I had evened out the stats. But I blew that chance.

Thanks for the game.

Very lucky game.
111 - Beat 100 dwarves in the treasury.
112 - With the upgrade of Trolls, I beat a pack of Rocs for the Hive and took it, losing half my army, but I got 6 Wyverns.
117 - Reached the Fortress AI, but it was completely blocked by a pack of Cavaliers.
121 - Had to make a full buyout and beat the Cavaliers, refilling mana in the Fortress town. Got Slow in the Guild and already had Expert Earth.
122 - Took minimal and maximum resources in the Fortress area.
124 - Doubled mana, entered the treasure with 6 Hives and a Tojan. Picked up a DD scroll behind a horde of Storm Elementals.
127 - Took the Tojan; I got +2 to all stats and +12 attack, TP in the Dungeon Guild.
131 - Got level 5 in the Guild for DD; the 2nd Tojan gave nothing useful except +1 speed.
132 - Have Expert Air on Gunnar, upgrading 50 Wyverns.
133 - Spotted the opponent's army and attacked him.
Thank you for the game!

Why? All three will have 2 losses.
Surmay has a higher burger, he will definitely finish in 2nd place,
and Nitro and Deluxe are playing for top 1/elimination.
