Liquid has released a statement that this is a private matter for Miracle and they do not want to discuss it further right now.

The rumour that it is visa related appears to be false.

team liquid weibo team mentioned it was a visa issue. but then deleted the post

Everyone can have a Weibo account and comment below the official Weibo. And that was where the rumor at. Even the Liquid have confirmed its a private issue. Then you just keep ignore official the statement.
Or, maybe you just want to create bullshit rumors?

Right when Liquid confirmed it's a private issue said post OP mentioned was deleted. Of course that post never mentioned visa issues, it just mentioned working with Valve to resolve the *issue*, whatever that was.

Curious to see how shadow does. Dota doesn’t feel like a game where a skilled player can help a team win if the communication isn’t good

In my opinion this is bigger then the KuKu drama. KuKu and TNC made huge mistakes that justified a punishment. Liquid did nothing wrong. Miracle- did nothing wrong and he is still banned from the event the same way.

Is Valve really willing to risk to have a TI winner with a huge Asterísk because some of the best western players get "randomly" banned?

No offence and not personal, but to all people that can easily believe something: IF you have a brain, please use it.

We Chinese don't do shit things to you if you are NOT a shit person.

Your reaction is interesting given that my opinion does not contradict official statement in any way or form. Are you telling me official statement by Liquid is a lie and i am just having confirmation bias believing it? Oh, Okay.

Didn't know shadow spoke english. I suppose he is another immigrant or something that only played in the chinese scene like Ana did initially

We'd like to announce that Valve has approved our emergency stand-in, Chu "shadow" Zeyu. We are still working with Valve to figure out the DPC points situation, and we will let you know as soon as we find out #LetsGoLiquid

TL's Twitter says shadow is the official stand-in.

Well, Liquid with 4 stand-ins can get top 4 at Major.

What can Liquid with 4 players and 1 stand-in do this time?

Glad TL can play, tho this sadly means imo that it was something serious that happened to Miracle or his immediate family, because Valve probably wouldnt have approved a last-minute switch

FYI, Miracle is playing pub at the moment, so what should be the reason ?

That you dont need to bring reddit to this forum.

And if you believe it or not ... someone could have time to play pub games, but not to play a tournament which take 2-3 weeks, minimum. You know, when my Grandma died over a year ago, I still found time to relax in front of the computer, but didnt have the time to work all day long, so I needed some days off. Just as personal example.
