Tune into the live broadcast on youtube.com/@codeforceslive to see your favorite contestants compete and commentate!
Match 7 looks particularly interesting!
tourist is now the conqueror of conqueror_of_tourist, respect!
Really enjoyed watching the streams over the last 2 days. The result was never in doubt. Congratulations!
lol tourist vs. conqueror_of_tourist
Edit: congrats tourist!
lol lol tourist vs. conqueror_of_tourist
I think you mean "winner of 13 and 14"?
What???
Now this... This is what I wanna see
The time has come for conqueror_of_tourist to prove his username.

I bet it's going to be tourist vs Geothermal
Agree, Geothermal is a beast in term of solving easy problems fast! He finished 1st place in almost every div3 rounds!
your prediction was right
Can I bet money against you? I would bet anything, because what you are proposing is literally impossible given the bracket.
Bet 1M$ on that. Then mnvbmar just gonna go to the KAN and ask him to change the bracket for 250K$. Another 250K$ he will give to contestants for ensuring that tourist vs turmax will happen. Easy 500K$ profit for Andrew and easy profit for everyone else except you, Umnik.
where is jiangly?
heuristica did not participate today, is he okay?
What a comeback Ksun
Out of curiousity, how does one implement opening problems feature during the contest? It would be really fun if everyone can use the blitz feature!
After 7th round:
tourist = conquerer of conquerer_of_tourist
That means:
conquerer_of_tourist = conquerer_of_(conquerer of conquerer_of_tourist)
That also means:
Tourist = conquerer of (conquerer_of_(conquerer of conquerer_of_tourist))
...
(an infinite recursion)
It's funny to see tourist demolish everyone lol
This is so interesting. We need more of these.
Scoreboard2?
Unfair for Golovanov399
I agree, something tells me if tourist solved G, they wouldn’t have given Golovanov the same courtesy of a free rematch. Also “unproven” is a bit silly, either you can hack the solution or you can’t.
they would have. The decision was made before the problem was solved and also a new contest was also made before it was solved
I'm wrong in my assumption then, my apologies.
Justice for Golovanov399
What happened to Golovanov399?
So basically a controversial problem from an old contest was the G problem which has no proven solutions and in contest very few people solved it. Golovanov339 ended up solving it but he was not awarded the win because this would be unfair for tourist.
Pure injustice.
If there is really a problem, the contest should be held completely from the beginning.
3 people final should be great but the rematch is also a good option
OMG is this rematch for tourist and Golovanov399
tourist my goat
Two last second clutches is crazy (ksun vs Kuroni and tourist vs golovanov)
tourist vs Golovanov absolute cinema ✋
Golovanov won me but he didn't win tourist. Sad.
Real G Golovanov399
True final thas in match "14" (tourist vs Golovanov399). It was so close and interesting. Thanks for this good weekend!
P.s. Golovanov399 was really best opponent for tourist.
Russians are built different
I am sorry but real winner for me is Golovanov399
I agree the match was unfair, but that also doesn’t mean Golovanov would have beaten Geothermal
Great stuff, especially match 14, waiting for custom blitz tournaments!
Why does tourist and Golovanov399 need a rematch?
It seems that there needs to be some form of verification, maybe extra 5 minutes to check that tasks are okay — it is really sad that people get an "unwinnable" match before the last problem and do not know it.
Would have liked it if Geothermal won it due to me losing to him obviously, but it was a great tournament despite some of the issues (and I hope my PC will not get crashed by monitoring software again) ).
Thank you to all organizers for making this happen!
huge Respect for Golovanov399 He Won Against tourist but due To Wrong Selection of Problem the Match Cancelled and again in The Rematch he Did Well
This was very fun to watch! Thanks a lot for the organizers
Looking forward to getting this feature for everyone :)
