Just had my games with Larry which ended 2:0 in my favour. Well I actually only won one game due to my strategic brilliance (obvious understatement) but you'll see foryourself...
Our first match Inferno - Dungeon. Ahh this is a match up I love . We have two very offensive factions and every move can be game deciding. I (Dungeon) won this one for two reasons: I got fireball in the shrine so I could go Ignite which worked like a charm and because I went attack to get tactics. Actually I only wanted tactics to prevent his devils from smacking one of my stacks but I got a lot more than I had hoped for: the nightmares wouldn't reach me either. Larry was wearing the "Ring of Caution" which gives you +2 Deff and Att in exchange for robbing you one speed. And yeah that was pretty crucial in a matchup where you need to take Dungeon out as fast as possible as your dmg output decreases dramatically per hero cast turn.
Second match Necro - Fortress. While the above matchup is easily one of my favourite matchups this is the one I hate the most. BY FAR. Two ridicolously defensive factions who deal pathetic damage against each other... god oO. Takes ages of your time.
To make a long story short this was a game that went exactly like this for me
The funny thing is I wanted to forfeit when the graph had reached zero. BUT then I saw the one thing that would save my sorry dead necro bum. Phantom Forces. His entire dwarwen army (which almost wasn't hurt at all except for the thanes and bears reduced by 50% with him having ressurection) was taken out by one phoenix together with two others... I wish I was kidding.

yep Azgal had good counters for my pretty hmm ,weak plans,lol
in 1st game i had will of urgash set that i didn't noticed till it was too late
also that mistake with ring of caution and his tactics made things lot easier for Azgal, he got swift mind with ignite fireball and it was obvious that i made huge mistake in choosing arties there
2nd 1 what to say really, victory slipped trough my hands ,i should have focused better and try to kill that vamps right from the start when i had a chance,later they blinded 100% and were impossible to kill and with mighty phoenix made unkillable and deadly combo
congrats Azagal good luck in next bouts

Seeing the first game I can only say one thing: One ring to rule them all  Even if opponent did not get tactics(which I wouldn't really expect most of the time) it is a risk, easier to be blocked from hitting the targets of your choice. And of course less useful grunts.
The second game was simply awesome  A true necro victory, slowly weaken your opponent as he keeps hacking at you and then rise from the grave and return the favour. I would probably have started the fight with mass endurance than haste but apparently it worked just fine. Azzie had some good tactical moves halfway through the battle, avoided leaving his units exposed - like princes behind ghost protection That said he attacked some incorporeal targets, as for Larry he could have tried some paw strikes on the phoenix.
To Vokial and lucky dwarf I did give some extra days but if you don't finish by tomorrow evening I can't do anything.

What can I say, I lost cuz of his spamming skills, I was much, much better, here is the replay:
Download (watch it you wan't sorry for it!)
I have to say that I played great, or he is just weak.
However I won't like to play another 1 h duel + where some spam skills are winning (really you have to ban that tele from the map, it can be used same way as curse of the netherworld I hope that this game is going to prove it). So I give up for the second duel, respectively third and thats all from me. Thanks for waiting me all these days.
Gosh! That spell ruined the fun...

Guess it's up to Azzie to spank him.
Edit:
You are a noob vokial  He kept wasting his turns teleporting the dragons around rather than do something constructive and you did still lost. You could have slowed them from the start, place goblins next to them and sacrifice for mana, scare them into coming closer for starters. Why did you even follow when you could finish them with hero attacks and they could barely scratch you from afar? Daughters already had good rage that kept replenishing from elation. If you just moved around at long range or even better kept attacking his warmachines one by one to gain rage and let your hero do the job he'd never have won. If anything I'd complain about battlerage rune and thunderclap that kept stunning

I WON!!!
this was a close game so close you cant even BELIEVE it.
 
Fortress VS Stronghold
Here i picked thunder thanes cuz Thunder bolt seems to triger allot more often than flame wave. I also picked skirmers because i like criple wound better(It saved my LIFE). Took on luck, morale, light magic, enlightenment. I got no mass spells but i got freaky amount of mana and teleportation. I Used memory mentor and got rid of magic protection(which is useless vs stronghold). We entered battle and we fought brutaly. I Got his cyclops out early and used rune of battle rage to attack him(he had three guys next to me so i could'nt resist)
and paw strike activated... 1... 2... 3 times. I bashed his remaining cyclops with battle ragers. And after the blood bath had finished i was left with 3 magma dragons, 10 rune patrichinans, 100 spearmen.
He had warmongers, goblin trapers and sky daughters. I used teleport to get out my spearmen when he attacked my ranged. My dragon was fast on his feet and killed warmogers. I used teleport until the end.
At the end my spearmen kept making cripling wound and when the daugters got to me i simply ported out of there. I used hero more often at the end now that the initiative got decreased and they were slowed down allot. I ended up with 1 spearman and he with 2 daughters with my heros turn on hand i struck them down.
Imagine how that would sound like in real life
"Lad! How did the trouble with the orcs go?"
Erling steps aside to reveal a battered dwarf.
"What is this? Defeat?!" said the angry dwarf.
"No..." said Erling "we won but... this one is the only survivor"
They fall silent.

Oh dear... I hope I don't lose to you xD. Thunderstrike triggers ALL the time while flame wave doesn't xD.

Some further comments. Vokial lacked a sense of space - cyclopes were in a place they could easily be blocked or cut off from main paths, warmongers were in the edge that really limited their mobility, you did not protect your units from battlerage - not that you could do that in every case but still. Then there was that fearful roar on thanes AFTER they had just moved - not only did you lose on rage that you would get attacking them, they landed on a safe spot and you allowed yourself to be attacked by more dangerous units right afterwards.
Not that lucky dwarf played masterfully but all things considered you can't complain about abuses, he didn't even have mass spells which would have been worse.

Vokial, you could have done one more goblin sacrificing and I think a chain lightning with quadruple spellpower would have surely helped you.

That was one of the funniest matches I've seen in some time xD. Ahahahahahaa just when you think you'll smack the cyclops out of this world bzzzzzt their gone xD. Aw man that was great.
But seriously Vokial, one more sacrificing a goblin, a hero attack instead of that bloodrage call, anything would have won you this game. And if you'd played a little differently I'm certain you could have won this one much more convincingly.
Apart from that the luckyshots, rune stuns, bashes and paw strikes and crippeling wounds were indeed outrageously lucky (even with soldiers luck).
One question... couldn't your Brawlers reach the cyclops before even being teleported?

Poor Elvin, as if tournament development was not dificult enough to manage, I bring a new issue. Im having a bit of trouble dueling Veco.
Our last 5 attempts have ended up wether in disconnection or in wierd bugs never seen before. Such as: 1 - him being unable to see my hero on his current map location. 2 - We seing different orders in the initiative bar during combat, ending up in a stand still when he was awaiting for my rakshasas to act, and I waiting for his unicorns, at the very same time.
I have tested duel map with other opponents and it worked perfectly, while Veco has reported some difficulties regarding his current connection status while playing Elvin.
We will possibly try once more to see what we can get, but based on our previous experiences, Im skeptic about the outcome.
I waiting for Elvins suggestion on this particular situation.
Good games,
W.

I am aware of the case. Seeing as it is a net issue should you get the same again I'm afraid that veco will have to get the short end of the stick

Ok, this is somewhat not fun, we had ~7 disconnections on 3 different games and managed to play only one to the end 
Game one ended here
Game two ended here
Game three is here
Game four ended here
In the last one Wolfsburg forgot spells and favorites but still insisted on playing so it would be piece of pie with that crazy phoenix and 95 fire elementals. I couldn't see his hero turns and eventually game bugged out. If he didn't forget to visit castle it could be a different story..
First Wolf wanted to give me victory
Second, I want to resign becaus eof my bad connection
Third, we'll hopefully finish the duels another time since it appears possible
