-- The thing is the single board computers are popular, convenient for development (you can test your service anywhere, just put the computer in your pocket) and inexpensive. Besides they are cool and interesting to us :)
Another advantage: services are separated on a hardware level, which allows to avoid unexpected problems when through vulnerability of one service it's possible to steal flags from the others.

A little more than three hours left. Now it is a coffee break time, but the game is not pausing. Who do you think is going to win? :)
Had a talk with developers Mikhail Vyatskov and Maxim Muzafarov:
-- Bushwhackers made a large gap from 2nd place (Tower of Hanoi). It's too early to talk about others (first version if this post became irrelevant while we were writing it, as SiBears and Shadow Servants got up in scoreboard, leaving behind LC↯BC, and it's unpredictable what's going to happen in next minutes).
-- This year we want to note that a good difference of this final from previous ones is the green colour of a scoreboard, which means most teams have their services up almost all the time.

While we were publishing the post, LC↯BC went down to 5th place, and Tower of Hanoi occupied 4th place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
