I'm not a long-time member of this forum, but I agree that a democratic approach to deciding on a city for the CIS event is not suitable.
It's just a circus, with personal attacks, a lack of specifics, and little substance.
We need a forum organizing committee, composed of authoritative, respected people who strive to be objective and impartial, with the goal of ensuring a quorum of players from the CIS region, with comfortable accommodation and leisure activities.
The audience should be informed of the decision that has been made. They will be for or against it, but there aren't that many fans, but there are enough.
And there should be accountability for those who vote: if you vote for a city, you go there; otherwise, you're just talking. (Unless you get sick or die).
Those who submitted proposals did a good job, and the organizing committee, after identifying the pros and cons of each proposal, made a decision.
But a meaningless vote from people who don't know all the potential problems and are listening to Merlin, who, as I understand it, might add his own opinions and not notice the obvious... Yes, he's trying, but lobbying for his own interests is not respectable.
Fresh did a good job; he lost, but he didn't forget the essence of the CIS event – a championship for players in three heroes. He realized that a larger and better quorum would be achieved not in Yekaterinburg, and therefore the goal would be better achieved than if the CIS event were held in Yekaterinburg.
Vigo, I don't know who he is, but his proposal was submitted late, but it was worthy, and without it, it wouldn't have been as complete.
This is the first time, as I understand it, that there has been so much hype, a race of proposals, and competition, so we need a council of arbitrators to make decisions.
