This weekend, the ESL Legendary Series Season 1 Finals were planned to be held, but at least one participant will not be arriving in California for the LAN finals. A few hours ago, Eric Brinkley of ESL America posted the following on Twitter:
Magicamy is known for being one of the absolute best and one of the only female players in Hearthstone. She is also known for her large following on Twitch where she frequents the channels of many popular streamers. Magicamy had earned her place in the finals by winning week 6 of the Legendary Series, defeating Trump, FlyBird, and her teammate, Hyped, along the way. This was just a mere few days after joining Tempo Storm, which gave her victory even more hype. Because she will miss the tournament this weekend, she won't get a chance to meet up with her Tempo Storm teammates, Frodan and Reynad, who will be casting the tournament.
Replacing Magicamy will be Max, a lesser known British player, but not one who's devoid of accomplishments. Some of his more notable ones include:
- Top 16 Blizzcon EU Finals
- Qualified for EU vs CN #2
- First place ESL Legendary Series Week #2
For more information on the tournament this weekend, check the Liquipedia article on the ESL Legendary Series.

That is sad. I was really looking forward to see her play in the tournament. 
Good luck to Max, though! Still looking forward to it.

Not only is this bad grammar, is it also untrue.
Hope all is well with Amy.

The "personal issue" was really just a visa issue apparently

Little issue with the visa... I'm upset and sad I won't be able to make it this time around, but I will do my best to participate in future LAN events including the next ESL. Sorry for all those who wanted to see me... I will make up for it somehow

The grammar is fine. Also, I could have been more specific, but it's true that she's one of the only female players in the western competitive Hearthstone scene.

at least now we know where Veralynn went :p
i'm very disappointed, was excited to finally get to see her play in a LAN
then again, the only time I found her in a twitch chat was when she made a joke involving a specific US adult video site that I can't remember (and had to look up in the first place to figure out what she was talking about). Which was VERY weird to me. But I can understand that being in twitch chat for so long will give you cancer eventually, so who knows.

Hmm do you rememeber when Hafu was invited to that WCA? tournament and she... couldn't go ?

Oh my god. Chakki and others posting "proofs" that magicamy is two persons over twitter: http://imgur.com/a/7fsWY
Crazy day for HS, eh.
Edit. Sorry, I’ll stop posting stuff like this around here. It is just so damn funny I couldn’t resist. ;-)

Dang, the plot thickens.

didnt she do skype while she was playing ESL legendary series? if that was faked, it was pretty good because she reacted right after a good play and beating trump (?).

Yeah, she was on Skype for the ESL series, but the guy is accusing magicamy of being two persons: a female in front of the cam, and a male (from Montreal! hello, neighbor) actually playing the game.

If the "2 person" accusation pans out to be true, I really hope Reynad wasn't in the know... I like Reynad, so I'll lean towards Reynad being taken for a ride along with the rest of us... Chakki feels this could be the case:

I just hope it’s some good old reddit drama. This is too funny to be true.

Hearthstone has some weird drama compared to other esports.
