CIS 2017 Discussion

What poll are you talking about? What are you referring to? Fine, let's say we vote for Sochi, and then what? What's the plan, what facilities, what's the final price? The same goes for Yekaterinburg. Until there's a presentation and at least some kind of budget, voting is pointless.

The organizers for Sochi and Yekaterinburg are serious people and know what to expect in terms of the budget for the upcoming Community event.
The probability that the price will be inflated by at least 15-20 percent compared to some average cost of accommodation, food, rent, and other services is minimal.
So, it's important to find out in advance where the Community wants to hold the next event.
And then, from a logistical and preliminary pricing perspective, Sasha has a more difficult and expensive task in Sochi than Sergei in Yekaterinburg: he's at home, while Sasha still has to travel to Sochi to find out the preliminary price.
Therefore, it will most likely depend on which location, Sochi or Yekaterinburg, is more convenient, cheaper, and faster for the players...

The price in Sochi will probably be higher.
The weather in May in Sochi is about 5-6 degrees warmer than in Yekaterinburg, but there may be much more precipitation than in the Urals during May.
And, to be honest, the nature in the Urals is more beautiful than in Sochi, in my opinion :D
