In particular, because the surveyed community, represented by PReDSa, Yama, and Stinger, is fed up with Might and Magic V and voted for Might and Magic VI.
The supposed guest, Samurai, is also in favor of Might and Magic VI.
Yama plans to try to recruit someone from the Chaos faction – it's unlikely they'll be drawn to Might and Magic V.
The template isn't the main thing; the important thing is that the tournaments take place. And it's indeed easier to gather people for Might and Magic VI in Moscow because most players played this template with the Chaos faction and know it.
In Michurinsk, they also played Chaos maps, but they can't accept Might and Magic V.
If it doesn't coincide with the St. Petersburg qualifier, why not.
It might happen that the two hero gaming centers – Moscow and St. Petersburg – start tournaments at the same time. This has happened a couple of times before; I could barely keep up switching between forums, and it was interesting.
