Today in the hotel "Salut" gamers from around the Russia started to gather. They will be living here for the duration of WCG Russia preliminary. I've gone to the hotel to inspect how people are getting into there and preparing for the tourney. There was a hitch with accreditaion process - badges will be available only at the evening, not a big problem. Evening will be more interesting there :P. I've met many people i know that I've lost count. Someone I knew only through internet, others I know personally. GreenJeK has arrived from Odessa, M19 had come in Moscow completely, Mayer, GreeN, ComaR, forZe.Karma, Mitro from Novosibirsk, some more from Samara - PartyZan, Exi, Shotgun... Voronezh also 'sent' us some backup - DemoN, HorneT. Ekaterinburg - Death, Dracula. People are coming and coming... The entrance and the main room of the hotel is overcrowded... We've returned back to our office, taking with us Death and Dracula to practice a bit here.

Afaik, at 4 o'clock in 'Drujba' will be held a seeding event for all games in the preliminaries, so watch this space for seedings results. Now, simply look at the photos I've taken today.
