once you get a visa...its good for years..once you activate it. so there is really no reason for this happen if your an international pro player.
Not true, unless you are talking about certain types of work visas. However, if you succeed in getting a visa once, the process is fast-tracked for future applications, and is much less likely to be denied. So, it can feel like you have a permanent visa, but the paper work remains necessary.

This really freaking sucks, you always here how large and talented the Chinese gamer base is. I really really wanted to see how the best the Chinese had to offer would stack up against the rest of the world since they usually don't get nearly as much exposure as EU/NA/KR players. Very disappointed.

Chinese is famous with getting pregnant and travel to US to bear their children so they could get US citizenship. Not too surprise how hard it is to get VISA from these country.

If you're surprised , wake d f up. I'd prefer communist china over faschist america any day of the month. Every poker player has been a55fooked by america several times in the last few years. Cannot wait for that evil empire to fail. Why don't they have blizzcon in holland or some reasonably civilized country?

Because Blizzard has its offices in the US :D
I wonder if Blizzard has even considered a Blizzcon in France haha, after all Vivendi is a french company no?

Blizzard needs to bring back the BWWI and host it in China. It's a market they can ill-afford to lose once WC3 has fizzled out.

Mexican doesn't need to travel to US -___- They just need to jump over the fences.

This is a very disappointing scenario, I hear great things about these Chinese players, and yet they get little to no exposure to the e-sports scene because of issues like this.
I highly doubt professional gamers pose any national security threat, seriously.

It sounds really far fetched, but it's true. Once the kid turns 18 he/she can apply for citizenship for their parents.

I dont get why it would be that level of difficult to enter the US as a Chinese citizen.. China is supposed to be the communist nation that is hard to enter, yet you dont often hear of americans denied visas to China -_- The reason is very simple. Because US bureaucracy is horrible and way behind the times. That America shoots itself in the foot to deny tourists $$$$ out of the stupid fear of "taking American jobs that no one else wants" is retarded to say the least. You are correct in that there's no "logical" reason why this should be the case. What? They fear Xigua will take Idra's job as America's BM zerg player and put Idra out of a job? It's ludicrous, but that's actually their fear. I literally laughed out loud at the stupidity of this post, good education system they got in China. hahahaha Haha yea that post made me laugh to. Someone from China talking about behind the times governments lol.
And someone from US is proud of their government? O_o

Maybe they can invite Genius to defend his title since spots are open now? Unfortunate, but this seems like a good alternative to me.

I feel worse for the WoW players tbh. I think this is one of the few events they have for WoW.
Have they said who will fill up the spots? I assume they will invite the higher ranking Chinese players with available VISA no?

I've heard up to 3-4 months for a US visa for a non-exempt country (Indian). This was after being accepted for a post-doc position at MIT. A conference I went to in the US this week had a lot of Chinese no shows because they couldn't get the visa in time. Luckily I have an Australian passport.

Post 9/11 it's become very difficult to enter the US from any nation that doesnt have visa exemptions. it's terrible what's happened here. which is strange because the states needs more money and chinese tourists spends the most weird, being chinese but with an australian passport, i got my usa visa just fine. i doubt this was anything politically related....but who knows :S
Because Australia loyally followed America into Iraq George Bush created a whole slew of pro-Austarlia immigration regulations. For example, Australia is the only country in the world whose citizens, if they find a job in America, can simply pack up and move without any further applications. Even Canadians, despite being members of NAFTA, dont get the same level of employment openness.

It's the other way around, it will be hard to enter a country when you live or originate in a communist country. Ofc you wouldn't know coz switz has always been the "neutral" country :D

They didn't have this problem LAST year. So why the sudden turn around now?
