I have a slightly different version of events regarding this. VT players are always making a lot of noise

So what's stopping us from making some noise ourselves?

If the VT community is capable of self-organizing in real life, while the SoD community only exists on the internet, then it's logical that club champs are held for VT.

Understand that nobody here is against club tournaments for SoD. I, for example, am strictly in favor—I'd travel to such a tournament of yours and even convince Matrosova to come along.

Meaning the issue here is the availability of organizers and a quorum of participants. In this case, among the VT players, they found Aztec as an organizer and 40 people willing to travel—so there will be a champ.

Or are you bothered by the fact that the "CIS Championship" brand fell into the wrong hands? Well, it's only logical that the most representative tournament in terms of numbers and composition should bear such a name.
