Because of war between Russia and Ukraine, and Codeforces is russian platform.

Edit: By above I meant that the sponsors(Go Study company) were not willing to continue because of the sanctions imposed on Russia. Source

    It's not because Codeforces is a Russian platform. Unfortunately in the private discussion between the coordinator, authors and testers, some statements were misinterpreted and someone got the idea that the round was postponed because Go Study didn't want to associate with a Russian organization, and posted it publicly on Codeforces. Now this idea is spreading like wildfire despite the coordinator/authors explicitly refuting it every time it is mentioned.

    We don't know at this time why the sponsor asked for the round to be delayed.

      A classical example of cyans' level of reading comprehension.

        I wrote what I heard from International Master. I have attached the source above.

        Now , the author himself corrects me. So I am sorry for being a part of this rumor spreader.

If the sponsor refuses to pay we could rename it to "Downvote Putin Round 1".

I am fairly sure that would lead to huge positive response.
