I don't think the topic is outdated; it still has potential.
As for the push... I'll talk to Vik, Captain, Peterius, Napalm, and the guys from Yekaterinburg. I'm confident that everything will be fine with you, Siberians.
Here's the CIS championship; there's no need to overthink it. The situation with Moscow is unclear; I'm not sure who to talk to. Sticky said in ICQ that he won't take on the responsibility anymore; it took a toll on him. I understand him perfectly. :(
Why is it necessary to talk between potential organizers first, instead of announcing it right away:
1. Official status. In general, it's a typical fan tournament, but I wanted to somehow legitimize it. However, building relationships with Buka, the Computer Sports Federation, etc., is not my thing; I always stay away from officialdom. Some experience suggests that this is the best solution, but not everyone thinks so; they want status. :eek:
2. Sponsors and partners. There were some ideas for the first championship. But the tournament didn't take place in Michurinsk, but in Kyiv, and a great, business-minded person, to whom I wanted to offer cooperation, unexpectedly died at a very young age; everyone who knew him is grieving.
3. There are also other issues, such as the rules, for example.
Ivan, I'll write to you later, maybe in a private message.
