Yep, finished 1-1 with Typhys
Thanks for the games, a pleasure to play with you too
On a side note :
First game Typhpys used 2 restarts
Fortress SQ79 versus Inferno Typhys - restarted
Sylvan SQ79 versus Necro Typhys - restarted
Orson SQ79 wins Nymus Typhys
To sum it up, he couldn't do snow about my dark magic, and i almost screwed things up myself trying to get battle frenzy since it was so close, and that cost me all wraiths and liches.
He surprised me with 4 shots from flaming ballista, but low stats didn't help much. But favourable matchup for me surely.
2nd game SQ79 used 1 restart
Fortress SQ79 versus Inferno Typhys- restarted
Ihora Typhys wins Deirdre
This was almost completely hopeless game lol
Storm wind and battle frenzy with mass haste, righteous might and distract and map was full of obstacles. By the time army reached him, 40% anniliated and some critical lucky strikes secured the game for typhys
Was lucky to be 1-1 in fact, i didn't play well and should have lost 2-0 
Here are the replays.

Just finished with Koar, match ended up in 2 - 0 in my favour...
First matchup : Necropolis (Zoltan) for me, vs Inferno (Grawl) for Koar.
Nothing much to say about this matchup, which I consider as being broken in a large favor of Necropolis.
I have good spells in my guild + an almost flawless build. Mass suffering + Mass endurance make my troops solid like rock ; just add mass slow + mass haste, vampirism & blind as well... my opponent kept defending all game and harass my troops with Cerberus and Nightmares.
Zoltan cleansing Meteor Shower also made things even easier.
Hard to counter Necropolis as Inferno anyway...
Second matchup : Dwarves (Inga) for I, versus Necropolis (Lucretia) for Koar.
I thought I would have hard times to beat him since I didn't manage to get stormwind with Light magic ; but fortunatelay, I had mass cleansing which helped me a bit and kept my troops from using exorcism runes ; but the only mass buff I had was mass endurance from the defense perk. The rest was totally screwed, even though battle frenzy helped me alot.
Facing Inga, a Lucretia with 22 spellpower, summoning-oriented.
Arcane Crystal could have been ravaging : he summoned one before my warmongers & my dragons, but didn't hit it with Lich Masters o_O. Good for me cause I got rid of 5 wraiths & 3 ethereal dragons when I could exploit it.
Mb key of your victory was there : summoning fire elemental first and then abusing arcane cristal. What screwed the battle for Necro was the facts they didn't have any might perk as support ; while battle frenzy is a must.
Nethertheless, thanks for the games, hope you grow better fast

Played games vs. Sinchduck
Tintagel (Dungeon - Vashyan) wins Sinchduck (Necro - Kaspar)
Tintagel (Necro - Kaspar) wins Sinchduck (Stronghold - Garuna)
Final result: 2-0 !
First game I had Dungeon Vayshan vs Necro Kaspar
I got no earth or firespell only cold and lightning, but 4 moral and 5 luck cause of some artefacts helped.
Had magic res 15 from skill and it got his first frenzy fizzled
No Mass slow from him, so creatures with luck and spells crushed him.
Second game I had Necro Kaspar vs Stronghold Garuna.
I had Darkmagic, Enlightment and Sorcery on Exp and advanced def with vitality. I used Mentor to get rid of balistic and First aid before leveling cause its cheaper.(500 only instead of 2k)
Mass slow and mass confusion came first and after that Blind on cyclops. He could not get rid of Blind and had no resistance.

Koar quitting because of losing is not the best thing to do, and it will make you look like a coward.
Also it puts me in a delicate position, I hope you will reconsider, and finish all your games, you might even get straight wins from now on, and for sure you'll get a lot better for next tournament 
Also, congrats to typhys and tintagel for their first full wins in the tournament

Finished games with Destro23, which ended up in 2 - 0 for I.
First game was restarted as I fell on Inferno, versus Dwarvens. Thus I have no more restarts.
First game so :
Me : Haven - Dougal
Destro : Academy - Jhora
Nothing particular there ; expected powerbuild with retribution, leadership, Expert light with cleansing + fire resistance, luck & and expert defense.
A very favorable ATB at the beginning + boots of speed helped me to reach my opponent army very quick. Archangels' 1st strike crushes 4 Titans for example... the fight was over after two turns.
No surprise here.
Second game :
Me : Dwarven - Inga
Destro : Necropolis - Zoltan
The game offers me the best runes I could hope (berserk, exorcism, thunder, battle fury...) + Inga also learns charge.
I also manage to get + 4 hp for all my troups (ring + endurance power), and I'm also very lucky to get Battle Frenzy at my two last levelings (no money left). Apart of that, usual stuff against Necro : Stormwind. The undeads are quickly overwhelmed by my troops who assault them with charge stacked to battle fury.
I even destroyed the first phoenix before he could even do a thing, thanks to my bears' claws.
Again a no-match.
Thanks for the game Destro ; hope you'll have you chances against SQ 
Also, agreed with Towerlord : Koar, you shouldn't give the tournament up ; maybe you'll have your chances to win other opponents, since you fought the most experienced players first...

Finished with Sinchduck, I scored 2 - 0.
We randommed mirror factions, and on common agreement we chose to play anyway.
So, first game : Orc mirror.
I win with Shak'Karukat versus Telsek.
An appropriate build for Orc mirror gives me the win, I guess...
Expert Luck + Retribution & swiftness aura + Last stand with Expert Defense. I also got the dragon armour, to have a slight initiative advantage with bigger units, thus I also fought with Pao-Kaïs.
I feared a triple flaming balista, but seems Sinchduck didn't manage to get flaming arrows ; so it was 5 perks wasted for him, too bad.
Also some unit variation in our respective builds : he goes Executionners while I'm on Chieftains, he also had slower cyclops & green wyverns. I believe that at least the lvl 5 choice made the difference actually... Last stand also helped me taking some retaliations from his mightiest units.
Second Game : Dungeon mirror.
I randommed Eruina, confronted to Vayshan on Sinch's side.
Nothing much to say 'bout it...
I had ring of 10% init + slippers of emerald for Implosion & Meteor Shower.
I go for a standard build with Advanced Sorcery, Destru & Enlightement ; and @ level 6 I see... Leadership ! No way I let it through. Empathy comes quite easily.
So no big surprise about the action : my blood furies play first and can reach his own ones, while my stack of 1 blood fury blocks the path to his -> 2 morale triggers and I can even cast Implosion before my Grim Raiders charge to Black Dragons.
From that moment, it's already over...
Thanks for the games Sinchduck.

Sorry for double-posting.

Missing one replay with towerlord, I couldn't record it since I left the game before it was over.
Enjoy.

Sinchduck is connected on the evening actually.
With GMT issues, it is quite hard for you to catch him.

I asked Diegis several times but he never had time
Might be best to remove him from tournament sincer he hasnt played against anyone.
Koar also vanished and I cant get hold of him.
He posted that he gives up, does that mean that everyone gets 2 points of him?

Actually I am thinking of extending deadline by one week, instead of removing players from the tournament.
Koar, Diegis start playing cause the mobs are getting angry

Yah, it would be annoying to penalize the players who didn't play Koar yet by voiding their square, while others won him 2 - 0.
In Diegis' case, it is less regrettable actually, cause he didn't play a single game. Still I hope he'll be available for the last week.
But players who proved they were wanting to play them while they couldn't shouldn't be penalized.
Finaly I managed to fight against Diegis, he should be able to play all his games within the next week.
I won those games 2 - 0
First matchup : I random Stronghold (Shak'Karukat) versus Dwarves (Karli) for Diegis.
Nothing much to say about it... I couldn't manage to get shatter light, so I went for my classical combo of retribution, luck & defense. Sar Issus' crown gives me a huge manapool so I can spam horde's anger on my ennemies. Was lucky that Diegis took Destruction instead of light ; maybe he expected to be confronted to a shatter.
Thus, earth daughter can do their work easily, slowing down most dangerous ennemies while fastening my own troops ; afterwards, it was a pure execution from my bloodlusted orcs.
Second matchup :
Me : Necropolis (Lucretia)
Diegis : Inferno (Nymus)
Fast game as well : Expert Dark Magic with mass suffering. Attack / Defense - Mass Haste / Mass Endurance + Tactics. I had also Windstrider boots + quite a lucky ATB @ beginning let me reach his units fast. My Prince Vampires blinded his Pit Conquerors at first strike, then his black Arch Devil were also blinded on retaliation, after they had killed only 9 of my Princes...
I also had 600 warriors skelies thanks to Elaine in tavern.
We can say this was a pure bash...
Thanks for the game Diegis, wish you better luck in next games against other opponents.

Very interesting games, and totally new "style" and "methods".
I have to congratulate Typhys and Tower for being so helpful with a noob like me.
Also, just for the record, I've seen that in this "Arena" game, a good method is to recruit less army from the castle, and invest in leveling up for the hero, otherwise you guys, will end up playing 15 lvl hero versus a 20 one.
I hope I'll have time to finish all my games, but no promise, since I will finish all my works on 20-25.
Thx for the game Thyphys

Played games vs. Diegis
Tintagel (Dungeon - Vashyan) wins Diegis (Necro - Kaspar)
Tintagel (Haven - Dougal) wins Diegis (Academy - Faiz)
Final result: 2-0 !
1 game I had Ignite and +50% fire damage artefact.
15 spellpower emp. spells, ele.vision. Fireball was pretty tough even though he had an artefact and sap magic to reduce damage a bit. Also had Sor and luck Exp.
Fight went pretty fast. some luck helped(dragons killed 5 titans first round with luck)
2 game was a slaughter. Exp dark magic with mass slow and attack for mass haste. 4 morale and 3 luck for me to.
38 champions killed harpies turn 1, dragons turn 2. Had vampirism in case something happened to get champions back.
30 mana was enough for 1 mass haste,slow and 1 vampirism. But vampirism wasnt needed.
