If he gets far in the tournament I think they would be sad to miss out on a live finals or something like that. I don't really think thats a viable solution.

You can't just find out if you're allowed to travel to the US. Either you have a reason to travel (and thus to get a VISA), or you don't. And you don't find out if you're allowed in until you ask and offer those reasons. So if you're annoyed by that, you don't know how your country's immigration system works.

That he was living in the US when he was legally a tourist is the problem and why he now can't get back in.

Why don't they let him play his matches online since he can't travel to the states to play? I know wcs wants to do the whole live experience thing but it seems kind of silly to screw up a group like that because of visa issues =/
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

blizz has been pretty big on the whole live tournaments thing. Online tournaments historically have WAY lower draws than anything live. They want their tournament to be the biggest and baddest and online play doesn't really allow that. Especially considering he would have lag from wherever he ends up.

They are so anal with that visa business in the US. I went there for a conference two weeks ago. They handed me a form on the plane with questions about if I had kidnapped an american or if I was in any way associated with the German government between 1939 and 1945... (I am 26)
