All joking aside, i don't really get it either other chinese athletes are constantly allowed into foreign countries to basically gain fame for their country, maybe Blizzard needs to try that angle. | ||

Country of citizenship prevent citizens from leaving the country by not issuing them passports. Country of destination prevent non-citizens from entering the country by not issuing them visas. It require both sides for any person to leave the country. But since you can't even apply for a visa without a passport, they obviously got cockblocked by the US embassy . | ||

Uhhh. This is about Chinese citizens unable to enter US, not China blocking them. The US blocked the Visas... | ||

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. Woah now, i think you are really jumping to some wild conclusions. | ||

Maybe you guys don't know, but some brazilians couldn't make it to Latin America Invitational and then Blizzard took some replacements, they searched for players that already lived in USA or had a valid visa still. Though the brazilian problem was mainly buroucracy as it takes 6+ months to get it. | ||

If what my friends tell me is correct, you need to do an interview at the embassy even if you're just going for a short trip. China's visa system is bullshit too though, so I guess it's an eye for an eye =/ Huh? I don't know about NZ, but I am an American. My process for getting a Chinese visa was as follows. Step 1: Give embassy my passport one page form with my basic info like name and address. Step 2: Get my visa | ||

Absolutely sucks, and it's not the first time players/teams won't get their visas soon enough or at all. Same shit happened with Dota 2 Invitational. | ||

Fuck that, I want to see these Chinese players that are ranked 1-5 of the Grand Master League. Otherwise I can not help to believe that the Chinese Ladder is inferior, which it probably isn't. | ||
