finally we get to see jim come and wreck havoc
|
NESTEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

great news!
what about IEM New York though? IEM said they would make it up to Jim for the DQ in Shanghai by giving him a seed in IEM New York in October
Will Jim need another VISA for IEM New york?
|
Violet is the odd one out, how embarrassing.
|
all thanks to violet's sacrifice =(

Im pretty sure they came out and said (the IEM people) that they never said that he would get a seed. It was a miscommunication AFAIK.

When we are at a time when people receiving their visas is news, you know we have trouble.

This is great news! So psyched to see especially Jim's offline play.

I can see it right now. Jim and MacSed will show us an amazing performance! Watch out everyone.

Wow, so nice he made it, I hope he shows good games, but I don't think he is going to "own everyone", let's see, anyway I am waiting for those matches

i wonder if they will get visas to Germany supposing they advance

It'll be interesting to see how they do. We haven't seen them against any real top players offline so it should be fun to see how they do against some of the best.
|
Really good news, looking forward to their play

Yea ! I'm happy to see Chinese players finally getting out of China to show their skills to the world ! I'm anxious to see them preform well in WCS
|
Very nice, looking forward to their matches

Yay now Jim can win it all!

More fun jokes coming from Bitterdam. Can't wait

I have to ask, is getting Visas that complicated (as in they can get denied and you can't apply again) or does it just sometimes take too long?

Getting visas IS that complicated, dozens of pages of forms and a whole bunch of stuff (evidence etc. different visas have different requirements). Though I'm not sure what happens if you get denied. American visa is probably one of the hardest I believe, but I'm sure a couple other countries are just as hard)

Some people on /r/starcraft (in the thead about Jim's visa) claimed that Violet overstayed his last visa.

Hopefully, next time around if people have a problems players can use they can go through less public channels to get assistance, rather than feel the need to go public with the issue. ESL, Gom, NASL and Blizzard need to provide players that qualifed with an email address and say "Yo, if you have problems with a Visa, immediately email me here and we will get on that."

Violet violated some part of the rules of the 90 day visa he was using to come to the US and the USCIS are now grumpy with him. He either overstayed to got to many 90 day visas in a short period of time. Reports are mixed, but both are big no-nos I asked a friend of mine who gets visa's to come to the US all the time(from student all the way to business over the years) if she had these problems and she said that coming to the US on a waiver visa(90 days) is not good if you are coming more several times in a year. She was detained at an airport several times in several countries because of things that she wasn’t even aware of at the time. Visas are not plane tickets and it is always a process traveling to any other country.
His issue is totally different from Jims, who can’t get a waiver visa in China and needed to go through a more “standard” process.

Sorry, the information hadn't been correctly uploaded when I made that post. It showed Jim 2-1 in the WB finals and 2-0 in the Grand finals. Not 0-2 and then 2-0.

awesome, good to see some exposure for Chinese players. would have been terrible if they also couldn't get a VISA and WCS AM would be short 3 players on the ro16.

Jimcredible coming to wreak some havoc!!
|
YEAH JIM AND MACSED! CANT WAIT.
|
Great news! The foreign hope for WCS NA!
|
we are not prepared!!
grats to both players :D :D :D
|
omg this is great!!! Jim to win WCS AM

This is starting to look so weird.. 0.o..
Something stinks now.. Perhaps Blizzard finally did evolve and get their corporate hands "dirty" around.. Sounds good, but the problem is that it happened all out of a sudden.. In the middle of a season too..
Hope Jim didn't lose hope a while ago though.. Pretty sure he's not as hyped (and probably not as much motivated) as he'd have been.. Perhaps the hype is even greater now, as well as the will of showing now, but hope it's not late TBH :/

You really should get some basic knowledge of how visa works if you care enough to feel "something stinks".

I doubt it, considering he just won http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/CPL_Championship_2013 a couple of days ago. He's probably feeling pretty good and rightfully so.

Nice to see these players setting foot on a bigger stage. Jim even said in an interview he had a couple ladder games with inno and prevailed 3-1, he is just missing that psychological component, and as long as his visa passes he can get into RO4. (info from net-ease)
|
I bet something else is going to pop up and these two chinese players won't be able to play some how.

Poor Innovation, just when he thought he would be able to win back to back WCS Global Finals...

maybe Jim should be trying more to hide his builds like Innovation (and other top koreans) do lol....

Jim's the people's hero! He doesn't hide builds. He shares them.

I wonder if they will actually be able to get a visa for Germany in time if they manage to qualify for the Global Final now.

hmmm hope NASL does a long interview with both of them
