Congratulations to Mamoulian - winner of the XXVIII global tournament!
It was a blitz-mode tournament with a new rule: each player can use just one game class for the whole tournament.
Surprisingly, players chose very different classes - there were neither unused classes nor very popular.
Plynx was a confident leader of the preliminary stage, but was kicked out by Mamoulian in a very tough battle.
Then Mamoulian defeated his next play-off rivals: PutnikAda and Tosher in the same (very tough) manner.
SaintPetersburg team (Noxi, Tosher, PutnikAda) won the team competition and thus broke the victorious series of ProSpectro Team.

Thanks for trying the idea out, Cooler! I had fun and I hope everyone else did. I was really glad to see how many classes we had. I'd definitely love to try it with a non blitz tourney sometime too but not for a while of course.
Congrats to Mamoulian. Great forest play.
Congrats to mamoulian!! It was a very well-fought tourney by the Top 15 or so.
I think the "mono-class blitz" would be great once a year!
If we do a "mono-class normal", I would only play if Necromancer is banned, since those games often take 20+ minutes, sometimes up to 40. It is annoying when there is a set that goes long because one game had a Necromancer, but such a format would guarantee that every round has sets where TWO games have a Necromancer, meaning each round would likely take over 1hr to finish. There are similar concerns to be had about hyper-scaling classes like Cleric, but Necromancer is by far the worst offender.
Also, congrats to Illusion 8 for winning EXP and Glory.
