Enough discussing things that aren't even clear.
From the very beginning, Mar stated only SoD, and he confirmed this to me repeatedly via ICQ. He was the only one in group W who did not intend to play on WT, and I warned Yura about this immediately after the draw.
No other option for group distribution was possible; none of our newcomers wanted to play on WT.
What the players discussed is their own personal business, and the organizers do not intend to delve into their negotiations. Since the game did not take place, Mar received a technical win due to version mismatch.
