Just calm down, Vitia is just testing the waters for the future; he won't interfere with the organization this year, at least I believe that.
Actually, it's amusing to watch Merlin's hysteria, who tried in every way to undermine Ekaterinburg (sometimes openly, sometimes subtly), mocked Korolev (saying "submit an application, but when you do, it's already too late"), the points system, and openly supported Volgograd.
I would personally enjoy going to Volgograd if I could, but initially, the goal of the CIS tournament was to have different locations, different cities, and new faces, etc.
Of course, it's great when there are 10+ regular participants with 60+ points, and you can lobby for something based on their desires, but that's not the right approach.
And Merlin is clearly annoyed, and it's quite amusing :D
