Develop some common sense, I beg of you. Sad to see this news. I know we'll see a lot more Jim in the future though. Makes sense to send aLive through, even though he's not someone that I root for, still can't disagree with that. With eSports growing and learning in all parts of the world, these problems will lessen over time. viOLet's issue is different though. He competed over and over after performing illegal actions that would 100% bar him from getting a visa. That's different from being unable to get a visa due to long and complicated processes that have never even been seen before by any SC2 player. Sure you could still blame Jim, or you could grow up and say shit happens. He's not in a bad place here. | ||

Here in America, dun matter what state you were born in, you can apply for those docs anywhere. In the US, if for some reason your finger-prints card is not 'good enough' (and _they_ take theses, and you cannot make your fingerprints more 'readable' than they are), then they make you get an affidavit from the police station each and every place you lived in the last 5 years indicating that you did not commit any felony or serious misdemeanor ... yeah that is so much more streamlined.... and that is just _one_ example. and no, it is not a US specialty either... _every_ bureaucracies in the world are like that.... the only variation is how much money and/or connections does it take to bypass the red-tape. | ||

So we just handled that by having a system to create notaries in each town. Its really not a super complicated system. In my state you need 10 names and go take a couple of classes. Then after that, you get sworn in and you get a sweet stamp and seal. Mine is pretty awesome. | ||

I don't care if its harsh, because the only thing harsher is the fact that numerous players are missing out on a chance to compete due to losing to people who cant even make it to all their matches. How many more future NA spots are going to be robbed by koreans/chinese players who cant even attend the finals or sometimes even the ro16? Such bullshit. Then maybe those players should beat the Korean/Chinese players in fair competition instead of defaulting into the finals simply because of where they are from. Those players are "missing out" because they aren't as good. That's how competition works. Besides, most of the time when somebody cannot attend an event, they get replaced by the next-in-line anyway. Your post reeks of racism or some pointless loyalty to exclusive competition simply due to where people were born. The best players should be able to play in the best events. I don't want to see some mediocre NA pro get hammered by a Korean only because he was born in the US or Canada. I want to see only Koreans if they are the best players. If other regions can't keep up then they need to practice more and get better, rather than expecting a tournament format to default them into the main event. Blizzard needs to seek visas the same way that Riot did. If they want their product to be a legit, long-term industry then they should be finding ways to get their top-flight competitors around the world without issue. It is a bit disappointing that Blizzard hasn't even expressed any concern over the constant visa issues surrounding their game's tournaments. | ||

No matter the outcome, Jim will still receive all WCS Points and prize money he earned from his performance in WCS America thus far, including the League Finals. It’s also important to note that Jim will retain his Premier League placement and seeding as we head in to WCS America Season 3. | ||

Any idea where this will put him with his WCS points? Will he qualify for this year's BWC? | ||
