It's shitty that this kind of thing happens all the time...not just to Violet. When it comes to the US immigration system, the only thing that everyone seems to be able to agree upon is that it is broken. Hopefully visa issues don't become a recurring problem in this competition, or Blizzard will have to begin looking at alternatives.

This isn't just a US issue. Anyone that's ever had to attain a residence permit or a work visa in a foreign country has probably gone through a long and tiresome process. I'm curious when they actually began the process for Violet.

In the meantime, the country/government bashing in this thread is getting out of hand. This is not a US-specific problem.

Exactly. The Canadian form used to have "Are you a major war criminal? Yes/No"


im not surprised. There's a bunch of people here who take shots at america pretty much every chance they get, whether its shitting on NASL, MLG, the talent level, WCS America. Pretty much anything that happens in the states gets extra criticism from the community. I don't even think if NA players were winning major tournaments it would be any different. Oh well. Whatever.

This is an international forum though, it's expected (at least to me).

Kinda sucks that one of the only people who has lived in America for more than a month who is still left in the tournament has to forfeit because he can't get back into said country.

Well this is really unfortunate. I always like to see violet's play - very good player.

On the other hand, I guess this is a small risk players take when they travel to events. If they don't get those ducks in a line in time they risk being unable to participate. Even when the situation is delayed for reasons beyond their control, its still a known risk beforehand.

This is something that can't possibly be blamed on MLG, and I'm grateful for that. I personally really like the MLG hosted events, whether its WCS AM or their previous stuff like Winter Showdowns.

Sorry for your troubles violet! I'll be sure to tune in when you're playing next!

I see a lot of people complaining about Liquibets... When was the last time a Liquibet was for points when someone involved in the bet forfeited? Not in the last few years IIRC...

lol, sure, this never happened man.



I filled out the visa for last year - still it's hard to decide wether to laugh or cry seeing the questions in the form. Including similar to these above (kidnapping and human trading certainly, don't remember the II WW stuff)...
I just might get to the form and copy-paste you do questions.

There is a good reason I won't do it though.You don't always get the same set of questions. In my case... I spent more than 20 minutes trying to input all the countries I have been in the past 5 years before trying to obtain the visa... And not just highlight on the list. It goes like this: 1) open a foldable list, 2) find a country, 3) click a country, 4) add another field to the form (refresh the whole webpage), 5) rinse and repeat...

Fortunately I got my visa without any problems...
On more positive note - I was in the USA 2 times already and I loved it. To ALL AMERICANS: you have a beautiful country, don't seat all the time in front of the computer...

Ahah, I remeber that. I also remember about the terrorist/bomb knowledge part.
Crazy american, as if someone would seriously put a cross in the box.
