Club championship of the CIS countries (final).

2 Vik. Now, I can imagine what a TE player is. But as for a "TE sympathizer," I just can't wrap my head around it. Something like: "I don't play it myself, but I sit back and sympathize with the TEs"?

Well, I have roughly the following classification:
1) TE player - someone for whom TE is the main version of the game, most games are played on it, SoD is based on mood or specific Tournaments.
2) Sympathizer - someone who knows how to play TE, but plays SoD more often.
3) SoD player - someone who doesn't play TE at all.

You can look at the list of finalists and guess who falls into which category.

2 Qwerty. Actually, why not organize a proper SoD qualifier for the respected Qwerty at the next champ? People will surely sign up, especially since there were plans for it?

Well, it probably makes sense to hold the next champ on WT, and with more various templates.
