Heading towards CIS-2020.

Jebus is so prevalent on streams not because he is the most entertaining for viewers. But because the most active and popular streamers are Jebus fans (this is no longer an insult, I am also somewhat one of them). If (hypothetically) the most popular streamers were not Hellight and Amilu, but Lucky and Shopa, then we would see an absolute dominance of Mirror and HL decks. Don't attribute everything to some ephemeral "entertainment value." It is not at all in the template.

Anton and Misha don't get as many viewers when they stream LM or Mirror decks.

I agree with Merlin, the CIS region should be entirely for the players, and the majority should determine the pool. In general, create a poll on the forum for those participating in the tournament, and that would be good. Just let each person vote for 3 templates to avoid a situation where players vote for unplayable garbage because they don't want to vote for what they don't like; I suspect this was the reason for the poor pool in the previous St. Petersburg tournament
