Last I checked Stockholm and Moscow wern't in Asia. Mumbai, Jakarta and China were. If you do your research; you will find a whole host of non-Asian ICs with 64 draws and Asian ICs with 32 draws.
1) there are no badminton tournaments in stockholm and moscow. so i dont know why you mention them?? 2) please tell me some non-asian ICs with 64 draws.
lol, i just checked all international challenge tournaments from 2014: 13 are in european territory 0 has a 64 draw and no, iran and bahrain are not in europe!
Swedish IC in 2015 has 32 draw: http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draws.aspx?id=857DBD95-FA0F-407C-92DB-07F2B7F5CE66 so white nights is the ONLY exception. congratulations.
Lack of participants in WD as so many byes here, BUL Stoeva sisters and GER Goliszewski/Nelte will capitalize this weak cast, JPN combos may deliver strong resistence for the top two seeds. For XD department, two home pairs Durkin/Vislova, Dremin/Dimova along with former world #3 Chan PS/Goh LY should be the fave to nail victory.

Tommy should take the title for MS. I'm guessing the giant Russians and top seeds would take the title easily too, unless the Malaysians boys get their act together.
