Duel Finals
The duel tournament has come far since its humble beginnings. After eight tournaments the balance has been better than ever and the finalists improved and prepared for the task ahead  I present you the contestants:
     
Elvin 31 pts in 7 tourneys / 13 pts in finals.
Gold Cup - First place in tournament.
Vampire Lord - My vampiric vampire princes slowly gnaw upon my opponent's mental defenses as they drink his blood with a straw and torpor his remains.
Elvin Fury - Damn you Arcax!
Frenzy - 7 victories in a row, I'm on fire!
Elvin luck - 
    
Pera 13 pts in 4 tourneys / 10 pts in finals.
Silver Cup - Second place in tournament.
Slow to start - As usual but his games are always worth waiting for.
Dragonform Abuser - Rune of dragonform totally doesn't work for dragons.
Dark Knight - There is darkness in his heart and more importantly his spellbook 
   
Sq79 16 in pts 2 tourneys / 9 pts in finals.
Bronze Cup - Third place in tournament.
Guardian Angel - Somehow he manages to escape his fate when all seems lost.
Haunting presence - His ghosts never die AAAARGHH!!
     
Arcax 25 pts in 6 tourneys / 6 pts in finals.
Medal of Honour - Fourth place in tournament.
Overconfident - Pride comes before the fall
Crazy Warmachinist - Go dungeon quadruple cold steel flaming ballista!
Outrageous Resistance - How can you get 3 consecutive resists with 15% chance?
Erratic Defiler - His 20 goblins can do what 300 of them could not, some Nival tester is laughing right now.
 
Veco 11 pts in 4 tourneys / 2 pts in finals.
Winner of small final - Back door entry 
  
Blizzardboy 20 pts in 6 tourneys / 1 pt in finals.
Badge of Misfortune - If the mentor disses you when you have good arties and warmachines with sylvan you just know it.
Berserk - Crazy attack mode! Guessing is for wimps, into the fray! 
 
Radar 15 pts in 3 tourneys / 0 pts in finals.
Victory Challenged - Six in a row baby
To make things fairer the elimination format that was used throughout the season is abandoned, every player will now have to fight each other 3 times. Losing to one opponent won't kick you out but every victory point counts. In the end the two highest ranking players will clash for the Caesar title.
The tournament should start by the end of the week, if someone cannot participate please let me know.
Those next in line are:
Asheera 12/6
Tann 11/3
Veco 11/4
Eugen 11/5
About the map
- Marketplace is disabled so do not depend on trading.
- Mentors were moved in the battle area. Should you fail to get expert in a magic school you can return via town portal.
- How much army you buy is left in your discretion. Less army means more artifacts or tries with mentor.
- Fortress resources reset to minimal once you pass the garrison.
- As usual stormwind is modded to give -10% init, -1 speed.
Get it here. UPDATED
RULES
- Haven may have 25 paladins max.
- Academy can only build lvl 2 mini arties.
- In case of equal rankings for first or second position it will be resolved by overall statistics, however you have the right to challenge your opponent to the best of three.
- Sneaky strategies like 7 stacks of 2 stalkers and last stand are now allowed.
Optional: Set Kaspar's bonus to gold. If he gets artifact it will randomly be transferred to one of the players.

Someone possibly found and destroyed his phylactery, a shame because I liked the guy. I recently uploaded the old replays and had a chance to watch again his games, good stuff.

I didn't say five
The final version of the map is ready, games begin tomorrow.
There will be two groups:
Group A: Sq79, Arcax, Radar
Group B: Elvin, Pera, Blizzard
When he is done, the winner of the small final will fight one from each group, Blizzard and Radar. Note that points the aforementioned will gain from him won't count in their total score, it's for determining his.

Check your hcm
Some clarifications. When both groups have finished(ie Radar plays the other 2 from his group) the top 4 players will proceed in the semi finals and afterwards the top 2 will meet in the finals. Good luck!

Sinec this is the masters championship, will games be best of 5 instead of best of 3 as normally to eliminate chance wins?

I am not so sure about that due to time restraints but the finals will certainly be decided in 5 games. Group phase and semifinals will be 3 games vs each.
To put things into perspective there will be 2 weeks deadline for the first round.

Well? No results or what? On my end I have played two games with blizzardboy but will have to replay the second, looks like 1-1. Considering the lack of updates I'll keep it to best of three, apparently you are not up to it.
Also depending on how my connection goes in the next several games I might resign, the amount of disconnections is ridiculous even when I try to load pages and my studies are catching up with. No sense in wasting my time if this keeps up.

So i needed to play another 4 with arcax to finish my games right ?

Yep. Meanwhile good news for me, I called my provider and the situation can be fixed - at least to an extent.

I finished another 2 with Arcax, it was 1-1 so far.
Got slaughter by him in the first game,
he was fortress versus my inferno.
Even though had enlightment, totally helpess against rune of rez and battle rage. Got slaughtered in game 1
Replay 1
http://www.speedyshare.com/826640194.html
2nd game was Arcax fortress again, versus necro Sq,
Almost gave up the game again after the first round. But some vampirism abuse saved my ass towards the last min against a destructive fortress This was probably one of the longest ever battle i've ever played in terms of no. of turns.

Great games, especially the necro one In the other I blame the ballista though it would be hell anyway. Dead man's luck and cursed ring? Funny how battlerage can be a puppet counter, at least it will refuse to attack your own units.
Here are my games. Guess the inferno one could not be helped, maybe if I got lucky strikes in first round.
Second was more fun 
I'll join the fray again as soon as possible.

2nd - Fortress (what a lucky outcome of events I am having lately...) - Inferno
2-0
Warlocks Luck sucks...thats all...
