Unfortunately it has to be like this, very difficult, considering so many people from around the world come here and try to stay so we have to be as selective as possible with a lot of rules.

this kind of stuff it really sad for humanity as a whole

maybe the nasl can call the embasy or something to explain the situation? maybe they are reasonanble. i bet they have made exceptions for athletes, singers, actors, whatever in the past.

who knows.

I'm really sorry for you . Your performance in the tournament surprised me the most and you made a massive fan of me, more than anyone else. I'm super glad you're planning on coming out to the NA scene more and I wish you as much success as you deserve, which is plenty.

I'm rooting for you warmachine ^^.

I really don't see why they can't just let him play anyway. Sure, its a LAN event, but matches between USA and Europe happen all the time. It isn't possible to play LAN, they have to play online anyway. Just let the guy continue in the tournament and stop trying to act like this actually means he can't play..

Maybe even just fly him to Sweden or somewhere that has really good internet :p

sucks for you strelok, best of luck in future tournaments, but i dont see how people can blame NASL for anything, they have provided us with great entertainment for the last 3 months, having a ton of pro's play weekly. I just dont understand why so many people are hating on it.

FlamingTurd: US officials are absolutely paranoid about it. The worst thing is that even you get a visa, they can disallow you to enter the country AFTER landing in USA. I this case you have to buy a very expensive ticket back to your country.

Unbelievable. So stupid it is so hard to make exceptions.

They should have given the extra spot to Artosis.

The fact that there are Americans that actually believe this makes me lose a lot of hope. You do not have to do it that way. If you have to believe that illegal immigrants are a big issue, what about, I don't know, finding them and deporting them after they try to stay in your country, not before, if you have no idea, what their intentions are?

Or you can just wake up and realize, that certain parties are using the threat of "illegal immigrants" to distract your attention from more serious problems, exactly as it now happens in several countries accross Europe.

The US is far too tightly wound as far as security goes. Most countries in the world let you get a 4 week visa upon arrival at a port.
It is, in the end, whatever the Hell I want it to be, And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole, This wide, straight through the worlds own idea of itself. They're throwing bottles at your house. Come on, lets go break their arms.

Well, it is too late anyways. They have strict rules about showing up to the grand finals
and TSLalive, as the runner-up of the open tournament, was promised a seed into the finals,
should somebody not show up.

It would be nice if every country could just join the EU and have open borders (at least EU internally). The world would be a better place if everyone had just a little more trust in those he doesn't know.

Anyways, sad to read that Strelok won't compete. He deserved this spot and while i doubt he'd gotten to the finals, he would have still gone through a few rounds and maybe earned a share of the price.

Maybe NASL should adjust the schedule for season 2 and move the finals a week or two back to prevent such problems.

Here's the unused Strelok highlight video NASL produced. Looks like they stepped up on the production value a little for the finals: http://nasl.tv/Videos/20110702streloks-journey-to-the-finals
Thank God and gunrun.

Ow, missing it by hours. Yeah, getting U.S. visa is ridiculous, unlucky. Hope to see you in future U.S. tournaments though.

Aw, we wanted to see you in the NASL. This is unfortunate, but at least it's fixed from now going forward!!
