It all started with a get-together at a pub in Moscow, after which PReDS demonstrated amazing logistical skills navigating the Moscow metro, and Stinger made a heroic decision to travel to Michurinsk, having only 100 rubles with him.
The next day, I had a lot of work to do, plus, to prevent my car from turning into a "gas van," we decided to leave at 6 PM. Moscow traffic had other plans, and we only left at nine. We arrived without any incidents, listening to a mix of Leningrad's music and children's songs (this wasn't "Sex with Stinger" :)).
Upon arriving, we made a couple of clumsy attempts to get to the train station so that the guys from Siberia could buy some town portal scrolls for their journey back to Novosibirsk. After an unsuccessful attempt to buy tickets, we finally decided to get down to business – buy beer and relax.
At the apartment, we were greeted by Eric, Scorp with Mizrael, and Dober's friend. There was beer, a little poker, a guitar, and Eric trying to get some sleep. The next day was the tournament. Well, enough has already been written about the games, except that no one mentioned Stinger's know-how – upgrading demons to level 112 on the campaign map, which forced a surrender and the subsequent "papal move" © – sleeping in two chairs right in the club.
Then there were kebabs with swimming, a lot more poker, etc., etc., but much has already been written about this – I won't repeat myself.
A big thank you to Eric for his hospitality; everything was great!
Dust, Dyrty (© Eric), Van, Sanal – well done for coming despite the distances.
And finally, a few photos:
Не стремясь приобщиться к основам пришёл.
В прошлый раз утащил я молитвенный коврик,
Он истерся до дыр, - я за новым пришёл.
