NaVi.Strelok and NaVi.HappyZerg came to the airport this morning and were ready to fly to Bucharest, but found out that Turkish Airlines wants them to show a credit card which was used to buy their tickets. As far as their tickets were bought by the team manager who is not in the country our players had nothing to show and couldn't pass the registration to their flight.
No one in the NaVi-team knew about this rule of Turkish Airlines.

On the other hand we got Bly and Dimaga who succesfully passed that problems (Not sure if they use the same airlines). Thing that they didn't knew the credit card rule is not an excuse, general fault of manager I would say. Sad that good challengers won't have their chances due to such rules and fails.

Uuuugh, I've had this problem before with Turkish Airlines. I'm not sure if they always ask, but when they do, they're super strict about it.

From the FAQ of Turkish Airlines

15. What is the necessary ID controls?

If you go directly to the gate, you should keep your ID with you and show it out to the boarding agent.
Passenger who paid the ticket by credit card should keep their ID and also the related credit card to show it out to the boarding agent. .

Do they really not take the possibility into account that someone buys someone else a plane ticket? Has that never happened before?

You can read it in the original news that they were kinda informed about that.
Bly has been living in Acer-teamhouse in Germany lately and Dima has another sponsors and managers...
It's not the othe hand - it sucks not to have more of our guys!

I've seen it on plane ticket documentation before they can request the credit card if they want depending on the airline.

Some stuff like the things you need for Visa you really need to know as a manager but this I never heared about this,my turkish friends are under 18 and are flying alone to Turkey, ofc they dont have a credit card so......
It seems like we should blame the manager for this *Ü*Ä*Ö this time.

Exact same reason (or at least pretty close, might have been ID and not credit card of the one who booked) why Axiom had to book flights via Kayak (the ones that got cancelled) and couldn't use Qatar Airways or whatever it was directly. ~~

Such a shame. Strelok hasn't been streaming in over a month, I assumed it was since he was practicing for DH and didn't want to divulge builds/plays..

Ok but what about a simple car? They found it out early in the day and it's not that far. Also road trip.

It's probably too long of a drive. It is doable but they would arrive too tired to do anything. :-/
That is assuming that they are comfortable enough to drive such a long distance in the first place.
Also depending on the car rental company, it might cost a lot (if you get something not with unlimited distance, that is).

it's not a stupid rule, but what i don't understand is how there's no contingency option involving the cardholder calling, emailing or otherwise communicating to authorize other travelers to use the tickets? it's difficult to imagine the airline would say no to the buyer's money if the buyer asked about purchasing tickets for other people.

perhaps there IS such an option, but the team manager didn't know to do it?

Other option besides cardholder 'showing up' is subject to fraud too.
