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:
Qiwi wallet +79372490006
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.

TOURNAMENT REGULATIONS

In case of equal points in a group, the following items will be considered first:
a) Berger coefficient (calculated only based on results shown in the group),
b) Head-to-head match,
c) Points scored in the game "weigh" more than technical defeats,
d) Decision of judges.
2. Seeding into groups is done according to the overall rating at the discretion of the organizer. Aim for no more than 2 players in a group with the same rating range.
3. Players in each group will be assigned numbers: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5. The order of games in the group will occur as follows:
Round 1 – No. 1 vs. No. 2 and No. 3 vs. No. 4;
Round 2 – No. 5 vs. No. 1 and No. 3 vs. No. 2;
Round 3 – No. 4 vs. No. 1 and No. 2 vs. No. 5;

Round 5 – No. 5 vs. No. 3 and No. 2 vs. No. 4.
The order of games in the groups is mandatory for everyone, but if you have the opportunity to additionally play the remaining games within these deadlines, no one will object.
4. The deadline for each game in the group stage is 10 days.
5. Draws are not possible at this stage. In case of controversial situations regarding the results of a game or an unfinished game within the deadline, saves from such a game may be submitted to the tournament judges for adjudication.
Awarding points:
Victory – 3 points; defeat – 0.

FULL DOUBLE ELIMINATION STAGE

1. Two players with first and second place advance from the groups, then a draw is held between (precisely) the groups where the first places play against the seconds and vice versa.

3. For template selection, red will be the player who is higher in the table.
4. Players in the losers' finals, winners' finals, and grand final must stream all games live on www.heroes3.tv. Players who neglect this rule or who do not have the ability to stream or experience technical problems will be disqualified from the tournament without exception. In other words, no streaming - ban (you will have almost the entire tournament to comply with this requirement).
5. The deadline for each game in the playoffs is 14 days, except for all finals. Deadlines for the finals will be announced during the tournament.

TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION:

1. Registration will last for 2 days, from September 27 to September 29 until 12:00 PM (inclusive).

EPILOGUE


In conclusion, I want to say that if you are unhappy with the rules of the tournament or have a personal dislike for the organizer of this competition or anything else – please don't waste your nerves and time and do not register :). Good luck to everyone!!!

It was a long game; at first, I gave the Tower town with DD and TP to the opponent's noob, then there was an exchange and new money-grubbing. In the end, I caught the opponent in the city without support, but with Cursed Armor, which was a surprise to me. However, the same own one and stats eventually prevailed.
Thanks for the game.
Thanks for the game.

Quite an interesting game, with a bunch of lizards at the start, thanks to which, with the forced shooting on the Tazar, I headed towards the central treasure zone, which turned out to be a small area, just mines; over the course of the game I took 3 Hives scattered across all corners; the map turned out to be very poor in terms of resources, and my opponent also emerged extremely timely for himself, taking a village with 4 GM on the second week (and Town Portal had just been built there); I managed to fight back thanks to the lack of normal stacks besides skeletons, Battle Solmyr, and scrolls of Town Portal and Dimension Door, I pushed the opponent back to his respawn, but he managed to snatch a Dragon Utopia from me, which dropped some decent loot, but his army became even smaller, thanks to the efforts of my dragons and mages. In the end, Tazar captured a Castle on day 137, where I placed angels, and on day 141 there was a week of angels :smile03: also a Griffin Conservatory (3) near the town, in short, I was well-stacked, but without buying enough angels and not taking the Conservatory, I went at the opponent who had had a Castle built since the end of the first week, I thought he had built it too, I tried to snatch it, but the opponent was sitting there, and I had only bought three little angels, yes there were 20 ducks, in the end Armageddon in the face, out of about 400 skeletons 250 remained and an angel resisted, I have 3 ducks, 2 lightning bolts - angel - 60 skeletons and a buyback, then buying angels, taking the Conservatory, and a couple of turns later the opponent himself comes to visit and gets slapped, not having first speed; 7 angels with Anti-Magic on Tazar handled it, thanks for the game.

111 saw 3 Necropolis players (Clavius, Nagash) and Tante! Tante wasn't greedy and took two chests for 3k experience. Immediately maxed Necromancy, but the first week wasn't so rosy; by the end of the week I barely raised about 100 skeletons, losing bulls in a Dwarf home 15 at a time, catching dismoral 3(!) times in a row with them :eek:
The enemy Barbarian managed to build a Bear and with Clavius cleared another Dwarf home for 15. On the second week I took 2 Griffin Conservatories (2+1) and headed for the Dragon Utopia, picking up Necromancy Boots from the Sharpshooters. In front of the Dragon Utopia lay all 6, and not far from the Dragon Utopia was KZ. The game then developed one-sidedly; I gathered about half a hundred Dragons, got CW in the next Dragon Utopia, and by 131 I reached my opponent. Resistance was futile.
Thank you for the game!

On 111, 3 Necros (Klava, Nagash) and Tant came! Tant didn't get greedy and took two chests for 3k experience. Immediately experted Necro, but the first week wasn't so rosy; by the end of the week I barely necro'd about 100 skeletons, losing Bulls in the Dwarf Cottage at 15 each, catching dismorale from them 3(!) times in a row :eek:
The barbarian computer built a Bear somehow and with it, Klava took another Dwarf Cottage at 15. On the second week I took 2 Griffin Conservatories (2+1) and went to the Dragon Utopia, getting Necro Boots from the Snipers. Before the Utopia there was all6, and not far from the Utopia was KZ. Then the game developed one-sidedly; I gathered about half a hundred Dwellings, got another KV at the next Utopia, and on 131 I rode to the opponent. Resistance was useless.
Thanks for the game!
The famous setup with no restarts for both players. Thanks for the game!

The opponent bought a red Rampart for 3900 and ran out of money, while I had it easy; at the start of 112 I had 200 skeletons, although in a battle with 7 Bone Dragons I lost 70 (due to a mistake), but on the other hand, I have another hero and an artifact +3 morale and luck. Also, there was a Dragon Utopia on my home respawn and another one nearby the road by the computer player. The Dragon Utopia triple was taken without losses at 124, which gave a very good boost to stats; seeing the stats of my units, the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game!

A triple Dragon Utopia without losses at 124 gave a very good boost to parameters; seeing the parameters of my units, the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game!
Hard lack of funds, the sawmill is cut off by the respawn and covered by gr. ogres. There was no tempo, and after the stats I didn't see the opp pulling.
Thanks for the game.

After all the restarts, it's a pretty rich map, with an archer and cavalry dwelling. The roads aren't very convenient, though. I was searching for my treasure for week 2, and I found it, but it was pretty small, with just 1 tope that gave sandals. With view earth, I spotted a different treasure that was pretty close and was huge, so I went there. One tope gave a black orb, the second tope gave a blue hat. The next day, I had a lucky teleport in flux and took 2 more topes, but they gave nothing. I played slowly and made mistakes, but thankfully it didn't cost me the game. Thanks for the game!

After all the restarts, it's a pretty rich map, with an archer and cavalry dwelling, although the roads aren't very convenient. I was searching for my treasure for a week, and finally found it, but it was pretty small, with just one top that gave sandals. With view earth, I spotted a different treasure that was pretty close and was huge, so I went there. One top gave a black orb, the second top gave a blue hat. The next day, I had a lucky teleport in the flux, and took two more tops, but they gave nothing. I played slowly and made mistakes, but thankfully it didn't cost me the game. Thanks for the game!

I played almost ideally, but the map was terrible. If not for the combo of Solmyre+Mullich, I'd give up in the first week because of unbeatable blocks on the only road. The only top I found on a huge territory gave me boots of resist, boots of levitation, and a red orb. I built a teleport and a dwelling in the main area due to the library, but it was too late. TFP!

thanks for the game.
The main hero was more of an Eleshar rather than a Charna 7th level without elements, who just helped farm some mana along with the convert, after contact on 121. Then there was a long war of weaklings, but unfortunately the opponent had an entrance to a compact underground super treasure zone right next to the road, with 2 Dragon Fly Hives in front of it and 6 Dragon Fly Hives already inside the treasure zone under 4 Dragon Utopias.
Thanks for the game.

Built Town Portal before the opponent, got good stats from the utopia, and went to hunt Tazar with 2 Dimension Door. Drove him out of the treasure a couple of times, and then finally caught up in the main.
Thanks for the game!

Mikhail had a very modest starting position in terms of troops; he didn't get any land, and his hero didn't level up, which is the opposite of what happened with my starting position and hero.

Thanks for the game!
