I'll just provide an update on the deadlines; I don't think there's much to discuss regarding the venue.
Overall, the situation is somewhat unfortunate, but there's a solution: how do you use the "cue of intentions" to guide the "ball of desired outcome" into the "pocket of reality," considering the "cloth of available opportunities"? (I apologize for any other associations – that's just a reflection of how jaded everyone is.)
You can ignore the needs of others and force the situation to suit your own goals.
Or, you can make a few minor concessions to your own convenience (just a few) and find a solution that works for everyone.

In my opinion, which may be biased (though I try to avoid that), Eric has to manage a whole bunch of conflicting interests.
The interests of the Ukrainian Heroes players are not necessarily the priority; they are on equal footing with everyone else.
Along with them, he also considers the interests of the other players.
The problem is that there are unfortunately no additional qualifying rounds in Ukraine in May.
The solution proposed by Peter is: let's wait for the Ukrainian holidays so that we don't interfere with the work.
But this means that the work will have to be postponed for those who have already completed the qualifying rounds.
Personally, this isn't a big deal for me, but it is for the others, and there are more of them than Ukrainian Heroes players.
It seems like they've reached a compromise – they will arrive, albeit with a delay, but there have been some problems – that's just life.
Then Eric suggested a slight deviation from the rules of the draw and the venue.
But what else can he do without infringing on the interests of the majority?
So, on one side are the Ukrainian Heroes players, and on the other are the rest, and delaying the dates, which were originally planned for most of them, is also inconvenient... Well, damn it – if you want to participate in this tournament, you'll come no matter what; all issues can be resolved in person, but not always comfortably.
Pressuring the organizers – let's imagine hypothetically that they give in and postpone the dates, but then even more people won't be able to come, and a much larger number of people will be disappointed.
And yet, I would really like the quorum to be complete, so that Peter and his team can find a way to come, even if it's with a delay, and play a few matches beforehand... There's always a solution!
But first, we need to understand that by accommodating one group, we are disadvantaging others. In the case of delaying the dates from May, this other group is the majority. As I understand it, Peter has a corporate event on May 1st, but he doesn't want to let his team down and is fighting for them – that's great! But Eric doesn't want to let anyone down either... So, let's have a little more understanding and mutual support.

I'll try to suggest a solution: among those who are traveling to Michurinsk by car from Moscow, is anyone reading this forum? Let them organize and bring the Ukrainian Heroes players with them, who have safely arrived in Kremlyandia.
And let's end this squabble; there's still plenty of time to organize
