Wow, what a dick move by MLG. I'm sure it would not have been difficult to write a damn letter or something, they could have helped a ton with the process.

Great news for him! It's a shame there aren't that many tournaments left here in the US though.

Dat government typo is killing me

I shall suggest to change the whole title to "viOLet recognized as an athlete by the US government"

No hate towards the original

“It was do or die for [Kim],” said Andrew Tomlinson, whose Cyber Solutions Agency (CSA) represents Kim. “He either got the visa or entered the Korean military.”


If taken literally this line is pretty morbid >_>

But big grats to Violet though. Was waiting for the day a SC2 pro got recognized!

This is such great news :D The work visa process seems like an incredibly hard one so I'm glad he was able to get on.
WELCOME BACK VIOLET!
