Who should decide this? We don't have a position like "responsible for the CIS region"... Or do we?
Players/viewers will never reach a consensus because everyone has different tastes. I think the organizers should communicate with each other first and come to an agreement. There is no other way to find a compromise. Otherwise, it will come to the point where the CIS tournament will be held in three different locations :D. It turns out to be the well-known fable "The Swan, the Crab, and the Pike."
This issue needs to be resolved in the coming days because there is no point in delaying it. After that, all topics should be archived, and we should start preparing.
It's actually funny to watch Merlin's hysteria, who in every way opposed Ekaterinburg (sometimes openly, sometimes subtly), mocked Korolev (saying "submit an application," but when they did, it was already too late), the point system, and openly supported Volgograd.
I would personally enjoy going to Volgograd if I had the opportunity, but initially, the goal of the CIS tournament was to have different locations, different cities, 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 right.
Merlin is clearly very upset, and it's amusing :D
