I'm not suggesting that I have conceeded those matchs already, only that my time is very limited, and I do enjoy playing full games also. And that those players have not completed matchs with me due to no fault of their own, it is all on me.
I will try and get them finished, I was just stating that if I can't meet them by the deadline, it is my fault not theirs

Finished games with zenithale, it's 1-1 between us
Matchups:
Hero Raadoo Dungeon(Sinitar) wins Zenithale Necro(Deidre)
Hero Raadoo Dungeon(Yrbeth) losses Zenithale Dwarfs(Ingvar)
Not much to say about the games. First was Fireball extermination for Necro, and second I forgot to take empowered spells ability, and simply couldn't manage to deal enough damage.

We just finished the games Hero Raadoo vs Zenithale.
First match: a slaughter! Sinitar with 25 Power + Ingnite and Fireball... no more comment.  I lost with my poor Deidre (Power 11 with Enlightment...)
Second match: Hero Raadoo with Yrbeth versus Zenithale with Ingvar. My might skills + Runes gave me victory without real difficulties.
Hero Raadoo - zenithale: 1-1
I will share all my replays soon, and hope you will do it too!

 Oooook, so the tourney finally is over, grats to everyone who participated!
Final ranks
Final version of the score table with points and final ranking: (also updated first post of this thread):
1-1 between Heroo and Zenithale was perfect score to avoid additional games for final rankings of top places. So only splitted places are 7th and 8th (Sinchduck and Typhys) participats with identical number of points and draw in their own matchup. If you two wanna play it out till 2 victories who will be 7th and who will be 8th, you can do it.
Impressions
All in all, from point of intrigue and sporting side, this was top level tourney - occupants of top places were determined in the very last games and only few points separated all top 6 players.
Strider was leading the tourney all way long and his final first place does not come as a big surprize as he is da God of all imaginable heroes universes (quoting Valky  ). So far he is the only player who managed to win 2 arena tourneys in russian Heroes League tourneys and, imho, indeed is amongst top 2 or 3 of all arena players that I have ever played. So hurray, hurray and keep it up! 
Yet at the very last stage of the tourney Zenithale managed to put up intrigue for the first place and was only a bit short to get there. Legendary duel player and very good arena player from Heroes League Dexterwar in one conversation mentioned you as very good duelist, so 2nd place in arena tourney is no big surprize, too. All in all, very good job.
3rd place goes to Sq, who certainly is number one in the sense of amount of fun arenas played and therefore can certainly be considered as arena veteran. So being amount top 3 of the tourney is only logical outcome. Also special attention to the fact that Sq was the only person who beated our champion with 2-0! 
Natalka, after first few loses afterwards took the tourney seriously enough to make it finally to 4th place. Good opponent and may be biggest surprize of the tourney.
Although relatively new to arena games, Hero Radoo quickly got a grip on things here and looks like he is at the heart of ToH arena community now. I really like his very serious play style even in fun arenas.
Zilo was biggest dissapointment of the tourney - guess, I've spend my fair share of luck some time ago and hopefully will get some more in the nearest future, but this one was black line in my arena career. On the bright side - at least nobody can say that I won the tourney because I was judging it myself 
I'm also happy that our french friends Sinchduck and Typhys joined the tourney - both showed good initiative and played most of their games very early in the tourney. May be lack of experience and simple lack of luck was reason why count of victories gained was not that big. Yet being able to defeat in some games some of the top 6 players clearly shows that in next tourney it might be different story
On the down-side of the story - we had fairly many unplayed games and 5 ppl were not able to finish the tourney properly. Shame on you, dudes, and hopefully the story won't be the same next time.
May be special comment here goes only to Destro. He got heaps of loses this time and unfortunately was not able to finish all of his games. Yet I personaly had really good feeling here - not only was one of my favorite opponents to talk with, but also I see great potential. All you need is some more experience on arena games and then the glorious days of HOMM3 Tacticians Courner might come back

Seems many people think I am a disease. Just write Typhys please .
Now, I just want to say that I was glad to join this tourney and meet some nice people there. That also helped me to improve my gaming, since I don't feel I played the same way at the begining and at the end ; maybe those early matches disadvantaged me due to my lack of experience. I hope that I will give more challenge next time.
I'd like to thank all players who had joined the tournament, especialy Zilo for the organization & Zenithale for helping me to improve my playing through many games played together and some discuss around it.
Also Congratulation for the top 3 players : not surprised to see Zenithale & SQ among them ; I didn't know Strider in another hand, but I guess he deserves this as well. Also, congratulations to Towerlord to score him 2 - 0, the only player among us to have managed to this
I hope the next tournament will take place soon
About games with Sinchduck, we should easily manage to play a few within the week I think. Will report that later then.

Thx, Zilo, for this novelty undertaking in TOH and consistent judging! Hopefully, with this TOH will comprise both vital aspects of H5 - full online and dueling
Thx to challenging opponents for supplying me wih rush of adrenaline Several games could have gone either way - in some I was lucky, in others not. But always it was a rewarding experience! I'm glad I was able to perform decently against so many good players.
Indeed, Tower's initiative might be one of key factors that promotes arena further in TOH. Keep up the good job Also, I was pleased to see our rising star Nat flexing her muscles
Only wish is that players who sign up, try harder to fulfill their obligations
