First and foremost, one should consider the purpose of the Tournaments.
If the goal is to promote and advertise the Russian localization, then, of course, players should use that version. This decision would immediately eliminate a significant portion of the participants, as not everyone will rush to the store to buy a DVD that costs around $15 (or more) just to participate in a virtual tournament. And there's no point in even discussing those who are fundamentally against the Russian localization.
However, if the goal is to popularize the game itself, then all versions should be allowed, as long as there are no differences between them. This also applies if the aim is to develop the website where the Tournaments are held. After all, the participation of half the players who use the English version often creates a multiplicative effect, or a snowball effect. For example, if Dust participates in a Heroes II tournament, at least five other people will likely join him. And these will be both friends and "enemies," for various reasons. As a result, the quorum, attendance, etc., will increase.
In general, the choice is not really about which translation is better, but whether it's worth promoting the Russian localization at the expense of the project, or promoting the project by putting the Russian localization on equal footing with other versions. Any reasonable person will make a clear choice.
However, if the Russian localization is paying for advertising, then it should be the only version used. ;)
