It would be not right just to have him play the last match.
just say daisy gets the defwin but have the loser final be played

flexibility is better than rigid rule adherence in this specific case 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... They already made the decision, they can't change it now as it would be totally unfair to the qualifying players. Unless someone popular stamps their feet takes it to twitter and threatens a boycott.
Yes, we need more public uproar idiocy on Twitter, that is for sure :/

That would be unreasonable. Why should Daisy get the freeride and MC not? Also again: Why does he just leave the venue during a tournament?

Visas are by appointments. If the government only has that time/day, there's not much more you can do.

Hey you know what would be cool?
If Chinese SC2 pro gamers were a part of the whole US acknowledge thingy making it easy to get visas.

because of extraordinary circumstances
rules don't exist for the sake of having rules, they exist to better the tournament

TBH as soon as Chinese players signed up for WCS AM this possibility popped into my head. Just a bad track record of Chinese players missing events in CS 1.6 that made me think that way. Hopefully they get them though because it would suck if they didn't.

in other note what happens to macseds and jim spots, does blizzard just give 2 forfeits or me and puck advance by being 3rd places in respective groups
i hope 2nd one :D
And you can get a visa with a reason that you might be coming to play some computer game if you first clear preliminary stage for the tournament. Yeah, I also think that it's that easy to get a visa, especially if you are a Chinese.
And no, you aren't getting the 2nd place if Blizzard has any part of their brains still working. It's the same situation as with Violet last season. Seriously this post is just stupid and a kind of disgusting.

This is exactly right, was told by iG.Edison(MacSed/Jim's team coach) that they waited outside the embassy standing for 2 hours in 40 degrees heat and another hour inside the embassy, just to get their visas denied after visa officer looked at their WCS invitation briefly.

But it's quite a different situation with these two matches. Oz and Grubby were at the venue and it isn't their fault if it is decided to close the location or whatever.
Although it is very disappointing and sad for eSport, Jim wanted to handle personal issues not related to the IEM tournament. There has to be some deadline. The IEM administrators cooperated by playing the second Open Bracket first - despite that Jim didn't manage to show up in time.
In fact the Chinese embassy is to blame - it's not the first case with visa issues for chinese players.
