I remember that. However in my case you pick the skills yourself with sphinx leveling so you can pick the right counters. Also remember that the new stormwind helps a lot with the dragon/dryads speed/initiative. From that part the spells and artifacts you will affect the outcome as well so it's hard to tell.

MY CHANCE TO MAKE HISTORY RUINED!! GAAAH! So close.... soooo close!! Ahahaa good times...good times...
I hate warlocks… When I saw your 29sp warlock my morale decreased to -5 . Necro vs Dungeons is all about luck with artifacts, and luck favored me that day.
Quote: I had a feeling you were good. Whether we play in the tournament or not I'd be interested in a friendly game.
When this tournament ends we can play a game, of course . I hope to be a hard challenge.
Quote: And some here complain Sylvan is underpowered
Well, this duel map is balanced, but there are still some matchups that need a bit of attention, like dungeon vs necro or sylvan vs inferno.

Quote: Now they complain because sylvan has lost in the games so far The only thing I have done to sylvan is remove any chances they would get dark or summoning spells because of high druids and rain of arrows. With a week 5 army sylvan has great potential but from the games I have played so far it's pretty balanced.
Few days ago I was fury that sylvan hasn't got any mercury - I wanted to try the Frenzy+Rain of Arrows combo and I was about to write in that case to you,Elvin !
So that's the reason... Everything fits into puzzle...spooky
Anyway tomorrow Im fighting with Lesij so be aware of tasty replays

I just lost, Eugen passes to next round! Normally I'd demote my status to major n00b but the last game was damn lucky for him Either way both games were fun.
A few comments. The first was academy vs sylvan and motw with arcane armour, regeneration and summon hive saved the day. Eugen's first hit was overwhelming but academy has enough tricks up its sleeve 
The second was inferno vs orcs. What to say, perhaps I should have charged bliindly on! My seducers never got the chance to act and his superior speed and everpresent lucky strikes dispatched my demonic forces before I could do anything. My dark were pretty ineffective even though his shatter was basic.

Duel vs Elvin finished, final score 2-1 for me.
Academy (him) vs. Elves (me)
This was a hard defeat. Wasps can really be a pain btw. 
download replay
Orcs (me) vs. Demons (him)
Just watch the rep and you'll understand what extreme luck is lol
And retribution + 8 morale is just...
I was very lucky with this, without my luck it would have looked way different.

Anyway, congrats to Elvin, he has been a hard one to beat.
EDIT: thanks Ash.

So here's the deal. Whoever wins the next game plays Eugen and the winner will have the final with Final_Boss. What's a contest without a final boss in the end?

Watched the replays, hmm Sylvan lost again. And got slaughtered (although Academy is pretty darn hard to beat with MoTW and mini-arties going for it).
Saying that Sylvan was the in faction in Doomforges duel is NOT in any way indicative of this current version of Elvin's map/duel system btw. The game has gone through expansions and patches since Doomforge and Elvin's set up is unique. Anyone who draws conclusions from Doomforge's post is a bit simple minded in my opinion.
In this round the are like 0/5? And most weren't close at all. Just seems they could use a beefing up, or that no one knows how to play them right. Outside observation.
On that note. Inferno continues to be weak, but no one seems to want to champion the cause for them. The orcs mopped the floor with them! Winning with 98 warmongers left is kinda yikes.

But I don't think that's fair to Final Boss in regards to those points... I mean, the others will have a chance to get 2 more points.

Anyway I've won with inferno on this duel map...so what's your point?
In fact I've won and lost with just about every faction.

Omg I’m the boss of the final! I’ll wait here for the last hero, and we’ll see if 3 credits are enough to drain my kilometric hp bar .
Congratulations Eugen! Elvin probably was the strongest opponent of the tournament, so I guess I must prepare for the worst scenarios and hope to be favored by luck again.

Actually.. There is still the matter of points to settle. I have lost the right to participate but I could challenge you for the points, whether you win or lose you are still in the final. What do you say?

What kind of man would I be if I refuse your offer? I accept the challenge for the 2 points .

That's the spirit! Will add you on msn and contact you when I can.
Meanwhile some replays I had with Arcax.
First is an epic long fight of sylvan vs haven. I pursued destructive, Arcax dark and it was grand There, sylvan doesn't always get losses.
Second was inferno vs orcs, another interesting battle. This time inferno won and the game was more like how I had pictured it when playing with Eugen This time I used swift gating. In the end he should have hit my spawns directly, chances were he would take the game that way.
Final one was necro vs dungeon, funny replay My implosion and circle/deep freeze with the icicle never came into play hehe.
