Random seventeen-year-old Chinese kid comes out of nowhere to show world class SC2 play and possibly be the first SC2 Chinese superstar that can challenge Koreans.

Somehow everything possibly that could go wrong for him goes wrong, pretty much halting the entire hype without him actually losing a match.

Agh, it hurts seeing that thread cover photo of Jim and reading through the post...

Been like that for the Chineses for years (since 2006 maybe). You can only hope that organizers wont get rid of them altogether so that their tournaments wont be screwed up

That's pretty fucked up. He was showing some great play, too. Woulda been a nice story line, Chinese kid comes out of nowhere and smacks everyone around.

Especially with HOTS just coming out in China this could have been such a great time for China to get way more involved in sc2 :/

Well this is sad. He had great games and was really looking promising.

Is there anyone who can suggest this to the IEM admins? It's pretty reasonable he should get that chance to at least play the lower bracket...but he should be able to play both since three group games can be played before he has to play his group anyway...

Ouch. Very sad turn of events.

What causes these Visa problems anyway... that's the worst part of it imho. Is it US government regulations? Then we should move WCS Americas to Mexico or something! :p

agreed

The difference is, he is stalling two matches, not only one. I don't know how tight their schedule is, but that certainly is a difference. Also he was not present for the matches at all. I can imagine it might be difficult to get the needed VISAs, but do you need to that on the day of another tournament?


no it's just him vs MC 1v1 for spot in groups, there's nothign after that

As I see the bracket, it is him vs Daisy and the loser vs MC. It would be not right just to have him play the last match.

It is not just the US government. Getting a VISA for the EU is difficult for many countries too.

They already made the decision, they can't change it now as it would be totally unfair to the qualifying players.
