Application for the CIS region.

So, talks about statistics are just "talk for the poor".

Therefore, the most reasonable and objective decision is to combine SoD and HotA at the template level. This is exactly what will allow us to see the statistical preference of the active CIS audience regarding game versions. And then—it will be possible to draw some organizational conclusions for the future.
As for myself, I can add the following: as a spectator, I won't go to HotA by default under any circumstances. But SoD vs HotA—if there is an opportunity, I would gladly come and watch (just as a spectator; currently, I only digest HotA from 3-4 streamers, and in fact, I was only able to start watching it without disgust on Stinger's streams).
Just please make the poll correctly, with sufficient options to choose from, rather than in the style of: "I'm doing same-only HotA—either you come or you don't"... This will help avoid a lot of further flaming. (And it will prevent a situation where you just announce only HotA, and after a couple of days or a week, someone shows up and says: well, I'm also ready to pitch in with the hosting in Georgia—but only for only SoD)

P.S. Off-topic. Where is Korolyov's application?
