Good for violet and whatever posetive legal/contractual implications that this has, but...

athlete? really?

They don't have a better word for it yet. I guess they could call them competitors or something.

Grats to Violet! In the article, it seems MLG and gamespot/ongamers refused to help Violet with the visa application process, while others like NASL CEO, DJWheat and others helped.

MLG looks pretty bad here, saying "screw him he's not one of ours", essentially. Pretty selfish thing to do when their WHOLE BUSINESS is eSports!

Except for Adam explained in this thread that is not the case. If you had taken the time to read the thread, you would know this. They are willing to help anyone with a visa if they are attending one of their events. However, to keep a good relationship with the USCS, they only do so for players attending their events.

Speaking of which, does anyone know what in Violet goes in as in WCS: AM? Ladder qualifier or does his visa allow him to directly compete?
