After yesterday's loss, I was really disappointed, there really was just 1 mistake by me that I remember, which was not learning implosion before I rebuild it in my guild, but if I wanted to learn it, that would mean delaying fly / dd by a day. Judging by the map, it was really poor in resources, and I did not expect to be able to get full control, if I start rebuilding towards town portal first, because there was literally nothing else to farm in my zones, and had no more roads to explore. So I do not think going for lvl5 rebuild first was specifically a mistake, but with implosion I would have much better chances in the final battle. Overall, the game was pretty balanced, Antiplayer played well and his victory was fully deserved. I am still happy to reach 2nd place.
Big thanks to Xocenk for organization, personally I liked the new template pool compared to previous Only XL tournaments. Only middle roads was also a rule that had to be added.
(I will let the victor make the report )
