I wonder if Necro got some more bone dragons in this order version .... They have a bone dragon hoarding building and giving them same ammount (8) as other towns isn't very appropriate.

I am not so sure about that, have you EVER built bone dragons much less upgraded them in a real map? Seems unrealistic. Also necro with vitality and power of endurance seems strong enough without adding more troops.

Thus the Chaos cup is concluded and Larry proclaimed the luckiest player of the tournament  I'll get you for this, I am luckier and I can prove it to you! Again 
[About the games:
In a streak of good luck his zealots acted before his champions that ended up crippling the cyclopes. Picking marksmen though proved a bad idea and the teleport timing did not help either. What made a difference was bloodfire, rage accelerated to crazy levels in no time.
In the second game I feel that arcax should have attacked paladins instead of going for massive damage to the others. Made it easier for them to be killed and his other forces were left open for the paladins to charge, besides the others were not going to be a threat anytime soon. Loved academy's damage potential 
In the third I would have used the initial puppet to hit the spawns or maybe the grunts, mistresses were not an immediate problem and at the very worst the princes could move next to warriors for protection as well as torporing the nightmares. Decay with liches was also a bad idea, expert weakness would help more in the short term. Or leaving the princes unprotected behind enemy lines. That combination of buffs, mass slow and vampirism paid off nicely in the end.]
Congratulations, Larry is now the proud keeper of the Chaos badge. And Arcax is not that bad off, still gets the silver 
  
 
The order tournament will begin soon, I shall close the slots at 12 or 14 players depending on how many will join.

well i knew i had good chance winning this tournament since few days before it started sq said "you'll win next tournament"
at first i didn't believe in that prophecy but as time went by i had a feeling that he might be right
even highest powers like Elvin's luck ,SQ's treant defender powers,Peras haste slow combo begun to fail...
and after winning that Dwarf/Academy game vs Asheera with only golems and gargoyles left after armageddon i was sure that prophecy can not be broken by any spell
at the end chaos cup went to where it was destined long time ago

I suppose not too bad, best of luck to all. Though we will hopefully not see any games lost to pure chance Games start today.

Yep as usual. Tried to start with zamfir but net disagreed, we'll probably finish this evening.
The first game is done, my necro vs Zamfir's dungeon. I was initially afraid as I usually am of this matchup, after all while dungeon typically gets lesser spellpower than before the cloak of sylanna quest was removed. When I saw decay I decided to go for dark->master of pain, distract, vitality and possibly power of speed. In a strange turn of luck I got none of these so I was stuck with no mass dark(vampirism/frenzy), defenase->protection->resistance(...) and my only good card was luck with magic resistance. I was one level away from distract but mentor just toyed with me, no vitality either.
When Zamfir attacked I was relieved, his spellpower was only 16 and had 11 attack. He also had warlock's luck  But frenzy coupled with his own luck and my attacks being a bit too lucky I managed to pull through. Vampirism and my resistance helped. That said he did not get the best spells, ie icebolt, firewall, chain lightning.
I should also note Zamfir's impeccable behaviour, he was a good sport He has redeemed himself and gained a reformed status.

Larry and I did 2 games.
First game was Sylvan(Bliz)1 vs Fortress(Larry)0. Close fight:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?th3uhmtkwto
Second game was Fortress(Bliz)0 vs Academy(Larry)1. We went probably less than half way through the game and I was getting really really bored and forfeited. I didn't know whether or not gems refreshed for Fortress in the order cup so I just got phoenix and not arcane armor. It was going rather well but Larry had a high mana reserve, and although he thought it was still up in the air, I would have ran out well before him and I knew without arcane armor I would never have won it. I know Academy well enough to know that if you haven't crippled them at a certain point and their wizard still has a ton of mana (as they usually do) than you're screwed. With arcane armor I might have won but that's entirely speculation. It would have been an extra tortuously long fight if I had it as two turtles poking each other with toothpicks.

I think from the moment only treants remained fortress could have won. Just by moving away, casting an immunity or two and using direct attacks.
So 1-1? Looking forward to the last one.

i think u are right,but the problem was i thought i'll win it without much problem so played that end without any good plan and when i realised it'll not be that easy it was too late
congrats to blizzardboy on that 1
edit: also big mistake is not using rune of magic immunity on patriarchs in first turn ,however i thought he didn't go for destructive
here's a 2nd replay
http://rapidshare.com/files/221614009/blizzard_boy_duel_2.sav
i really think it was too early to say who wins ,but blizzard quited so that was it

Impeccable timing Vokial. Just minutes after you asked Arcax contacted me to join since he will have the time - Good versus evil has found a new embodiment! I will soon edit the chart in the masterpost.
Also I finished my games with Zamfir, 2-0. This time the game was decided in a clash of haven versus the sturdy dwarves and light prevailed. As in mass haste/RM/regeneration prevailed I had the build of my dreams featuring stormwind, retribution, empathy and enlightenment so my units were hard to bring down. Incidentally so were Zamfir's since he made the best use of offensive and defensive formation but he lacked good spells which had him at disadvantage.
