I like Violet a lot but this issue is entirely down to him, so I don't feel too sorry for him. The mess is of his own making. It is his responsibility to ensure he did not overstay his previous Visa conditions. WCS should prevent him from participating in future seasons of WCS NA until he can show he has resolved his Visa issue. Otherwise Season 3 could get messed up as well. | ||

That's their perspective and it happens to be correct. I know online we're all one big happy family, but countries take this stuff seriously. viOlet and his management really screwed up. Honestly, viOlet should probably try to switch regions, because it's going to continue to be hard/impossible for him to get into the US for years. My now wife got refused once at the border. They wanted more evidence of self financial support and foundation back home (bills being paid, etc) since she was not driving in her own vehicle over. Once that flag is on it was an hour at each crossing. She also had to have set limits on her stays and they made it clear if you overstay things will harder in the future. Its been a few years now and the last couple times it has not been as bad. Now she has her green card but we have not tested re-entry yet with that. | ||

You're welcome to your opinion, but I hardly think that this is going to produce more NA players in WCS AM. It's just going to open a spot for a lesser known eSF or KeSPA player. | ||

Until 3 weeks ago China didn't have a HotS scene at all officially, since it hadn't been cleared and released, and we had already started this round of WCS. As many people said initially, this whole WCS thing hasn't been fully thought through, they launched it too soon, and it's still having issues. Region locking doesn't solve those issues without a whole lot of other work as well/beforehand, so just saying "Region lock for heavens sake please" is pointless and not at all helpful. | ||

Honestly, viOlet should probably try to switch regions, because it's going to continue to be hard/impossible for him to get into the US for years. Yes but even switching regions won't help too much. For at least one season finals a year, should he qualify for it, he will be unable to attend as it will be in America. And if by some strange occurrence he makes the yearly final, which is nearly impossible without making it to a season final, he won't be able to attend that either as its at Blizzcon IIRC. Although I don't think its a question of should switch but a matter of he should be forced too. Its pretty sad for the second time to see how drastically this changes WCS AM. | ||
