Siberian qualifier.

This "fuss" was caused, as it turned out, by unnecessary actions.

But why are these actions suddenly unnecessary? It's not very clear what goal the organizers of this event are pursuing. Are they trying to hold an "Olympics" for 1000+ people, or organize a decent gathering for communication and getting to know each other? If it's the former, then it's clearly a miss, since that many people don't play Heroes. If it's the latter, then 5-10 people are more than enough. There's a list. The list has 7 people. We can say 7-10. And how many did the organizers initially expect? It's unlikely that another 10-20 people will show up at the last minute. What can you do if there aren't many people in Siberia who play Heroes or are such fans that they are willing to travel to Barnaul in early January? In St. Petersburg, there were only 8 people. And in Moscow, it was canceled altogether :D So, we were lucky to make it. ;)
