Would be pretty ambiguous to an actual developer, which is what Git is made for. Download the latest release? Clone the repo as a .zip? Download the source code?
It's in their rulebook that the signature must be something that could reasonably be drawn/written by someone in under 30 seconds or something like that.
Sure, why not, I have plenty of Russian friends. Unlike you I don't immediately demonize an entire nationality of people based on the actions of their government. If that was the case I would reject having any American, British, or German friends.

Don't be purposefully dense, BLAST is literally an S-tier event with some of the highest viewership and production of any CS event, it's going to be very prestigious for that fact alone.
Certain autographs could get preferential treatment on the market and players would make their autographs less about themselves and more about how to make the most profit on a user-submission. That's my expectation anyway
