This is sad news, I didn't watch much of Streloks matches in the NASL but I know he done really well. Also sucks for NASL and how much effort they put into trying to get him a visa. Least its good news they've already found their replacement and hopefully nothing else will happen.

Glad NASL has the foresight of putting the backup player clause in the nasl open tourney. Too bad for Strelok, he was the european I rooted for the most throughout the season. He's the one player I could count on to not take this tourney lightly and see it as an platform to prove himself, rather than a week chore.

Best of luck next year, Strelok!
Thank God and gunrun.

Pretty crappy by Mousesports to assure you he could get a visa and then not deliver. I thought these were supposed to be professional businesses?


Eastern European players in the former soviet bloc, like Strelok, have always had outstanding issues getting visas for international events. In no way is this mouz's fault. Blame the overwhelming bureaucracy.

I agree with Naniwa. It would make more sense if Alive replaced the open bracket winner who couldn't come but not if a player from the group stage can't make it when a player from the group can.

But why is Alive able to get a visa on a shorter notice then Strelok?

Pretty sad for Strelok hope he does well in season 2.

Trying not to paint a whole region with a brush here, but there's been numerous problems with players from the Ex-USSR - Eastern European countries like Ukraine, Russia, Belarus - attaining visas and getting to international events in the past.

It honestly shouldn't have to happen these days.

Visa requirements for eastern european countries are stricter due to economic reasons, another victory for bureaucracy
The embassies of EU countries are not any less strict in that regard.

I think he has relative(s) in US, might have to do something with it, but I am not sure.

^--- quite true, and i guess this will be another reason why u wont be back for season 2.

how long do these visas last, like a couple of days? if it lasts for like 6 month+, why cant strelok just get one to have one, so this shit doesnt happen

I agree with Naniwa. If a group player can't make it, they should be replaced by 3rd place from the group.

Poor Nani ;>, I do agree with it though, the Open Bracket runner-up should be a back-up for the Runner-up.
It appears I have been chosen.

don't want to be a jerk by asking this, but why was the runner up of the open tournament selected, shouldn't the player with the best regular season record not in the playoffs have gotten first dibs on the open slot?

I would guess it is because players from the groups that were not 1st and 2nd also played playoffs for a possibility to attend grand finals. Using one of them would basically invalidate the playoffs they played.
