VISAs outside of a ring of countries the USA has "quick" processes with these days can be hard to obtain. However, this is mostly a corruption/bureaucracy issue. Most of the world is, unfortunately, actually like this.

My guess why WhiteRa hasn't had an issue is simply because he got his ages ago during the SC:BW days. BratOK missed a solid 4 or 5 tournaments due to the VISA issues. You don't get through them quickly, unfortunately.

It was in the rules from the start, stop whining kids.



Never seen such an ill-informed post. Foreigners of any note (Huk, Haypro, Ret, Moonglade, Sheth) get seeded into Code A by virtue of not being Korean and avoid the hardest competition in Sc2 (Code B). No foreigner has ever made it through Code B.

Everyone was invited to NASL, whether they were European, Korean or American they were all invited.

In MLG Koreans are invited and avoid the qualifiers just like they do in GSL and given how easilly they destroyed the open bracket (July), and the Championship bracket (MC, MMA, Losira) they've at least proven they were worthy of being seeded. Where as the majority of foreigners in Code A have gone out in the first or second round and even Huk only made it to the Third Round.

Not only that but for NASL Season 2 and the Open Tournament for Season 1 Koreans got in by virtue of beating everyone else, again proving that while Koreans may be occasionally invited to stuff when they're not they just crush everyone anyway, which is not the case at all for foreigners.

First of all: why? My emotional response has absolutely nothing to do with my professionalism, work ethic, or decision making in an official capacity. If Naniwa wants to act like he can do whatever he wants, publicly denounce our league and talk about how he hates playing in it... why should I bother to give him any courtesy? I'll even tell him to his face, and he'd do the same to me.

At the end of the day, I didn't sit there and say "fuck that guy I'm gonna ban him from NASL cuz of what he said," our rules were very clear about our policies.

Hearing things like this makes me very disappointed. Your organization is trying to promote the growth of esports yet you have a representative of the league saying things like this. Do you think the commissioner of the NFL would publicly say things like this? You emotional response DOES have something to do with your professionalism. This is one of the most unprofessional things I've yet seen with this league. And don't get me wrong, I'm a NASL supporter. Perhaps that's why this is a little upsetting.

Idra, Jinro, Ret, Haypro, Artosis, TLO, Torch all made it through the Code B qualifiers without ever being given an auto-seed. That would be HuK and Sheth only.

Idra and Jinro were seeded Code S by points, and maintained with top 4/8 finishes. The others remade qualifiers once or twice, exception Artosis and Torch.

TLO, Artosis and Idra get in through the qualifiers for the first ever GSL, before Code B/A ever existed. Ret and Haypro I'm fairly certain were seeded for GSL March into Code A as was Huk and Moonglade.

So let me get this straight. It's only the tournament's job to follow the straight and narrow. However, if a player publically acts like a dick towards the tournament they are just supposed to take it.

If you are going to spout that "professionalism!!!!" mantra at least understand that if you actually want that everyone, including the players, have to act professional otherwise it doesn't look, you know, professional.

Edit: The absurd amount of NASL hatred in the starcraft community is both amusing and depressing at the same time. FOR ESPORTS, right guys?

Actually, US Visa is processed very quickly, only around 3-4 days and it is done. However, the interview appointment queue is atrociously long. I was trying to get an interview queue for my mother and I can only get the appointment 3 months later simply because everyone wants to go to the US .
