I suggest either joining the discussion about politics with such comments or grabbing your gear and going to prove your worth. This is the perfect opportunity to prove something in reality after the last "CIS" event, instead of just using emojis and tanks.
I personally want to send greetings and an offer of reconciliation to Browsing. I didn't want things to escalate to this point, but you're not exactly a saint either.
Dirty, you're the most flexible of the inflexible here. Please don't disappear. If I offended you in any way, it wasn't intentional.
Pete, even a trip doesn't seem appealing. 12-15k for the plane ticket, about 5-7k for accommodation and other expenses... The question is whether to spend 70k or win 30k (taking expenses into account)... And, as I understand it, you're suggesting not a one-time battle, but traveling 4 times a year? Even mathematically, it doesn't make sense; at most, you can cover the travel and accommodation costs... There's also no point in proving anything to anyone; those who wanted to prove something could easily do so at the CIS event...

P.S. There were CIS championships in Odessa and Kyiv; I don't know who won then, but they did happen. And there was OpenKyiv, where Kyiv won. If you want to create your own tournament in Dnipro, no one will object; I'm sure many people from different countries will come...
