This is really sad for a player. Even more so now given how much important WCS now holds.

When I read the title I figured it was due to working with a tourist visa. I know several people who had issues trying to get working visas, which are utterly ridiculously difficult to get because of the whole "They took our jobs"(in South Park redneck voice) attitude.

Sucks for Violet but it is what it is.
Meh

Starcraft is important, but not that important

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_fraud

Now of course, those are some of the extremes, and I doubt any of those punishments will happen to Violet under the hypothetical situation, but it just isn't worth it.

Maybe they should have let him compete online from Korea against opponents in the studio? Better than forfeits

This is a failure from AZUBU. I don't understand why Violet apologized and took all of the blame, he is supposed to practice SC2 and be gosu. Not work on the politics that will let him gain more exposure for AZUBU and it's sponsors.

Just no.

Azubu and Violet decided for him to compete in WCS America instead of Korea and therefore he has to abide by the rules. He and his management have to carry the can for their fuck off on this. No sympathy.

Or he ran into someone who knows the law. Let's not forget that he was earning during his year long stay in the US before. Bet he paid taxes on that income right, RIGHT?

Haha, you think this would ever happen to a hero in a "real" sport?

I know from personal experience getting a visa is one big coin flip even if you got big cheese behind you.

Total bullshit. Wish violet all the best.
