EPTI literally cannot cheer hard enough for NaNiwa. He breathes so much emotion into this esport.
Every story needs a villian, and every good team needs a rival. NaNi is just bringing it in spades.

I think that players, who decided to compete in event like this, should have expected, that they would have to travel... I mean it's a global event. You can't expect that you will compete in your hometown, with your neighbours, for the World Championship FFS. But the biggest failure IMO is, that Blizzard or ESL haven't announced rules and seeding, before qualifications. | ||

Just come up to point out this: The time for these three regions: China: UTC+8 all year long US Pacific: UTC-8 in winter, UTC-7 in summer Central Europe: UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer So the time differences between them China and US Pacific: 8 in winter, 9 in summer (you can also say 16 in winter, 15 in summer) China and Central Europe: 7 in winter, 6 in summer | ||

It is easier for the PRCs to come to US then to Germany because they might not get a proper Visa in time for Germany/Schengenarea As happy will play in Germany, because to get a visa for EU as a Russian is far easier then for the USA. The Problem is, some players get proper regions for the visa issues, other players not. Kane has been 89 days in Switzerland with his holiday visa (schnegenareavisa). He is allowed to be 90 days in the Schengenarea for each 180 days. He can be one day here and then he will become illegal here till the 180 days are over (in late march I think ) If he is not able to optain a working visa or a special holidayvisa, he will not be able to enter the Schengenarea thus not be able to play in Europe. That the 2 local players of Germany will both play in US may annoy, but hey, the crowd will be 20 people, mostly players and managers, so who cares. For me the whole issue is the lack of communication. | ||

I'm pretty sure this is the 90 days per 180 day period limit for schengen visa. The countdown for the 180 days starts when you enter the area. During this timeperiod you can spend maximum 90 days in the schengen area. On 181st day from your first day the counter resets and you gain 90 days more (provided you apply for another visa). If he has atleast few days left of his 90 days, I'd consider playing and exiting back to Canada from Spain (or somewhere else in southern Europe), where they to my knowledge don't really care if you stay couple days or even a week too long. I doubt you'd get into too much trouble even leaving from Germany if it's only day or two.. just say you miscalculated and get a slap on the wrist. Disclaimer: please don't break the law. | ||

Kane will just have to sneak in and sneak out without getting caught. I think someone said he has like 1 day he can spend there cause he used 89 of 90 last time he was in Europe | ||

I think someone said he has like 1 day he can spend there cause he used 89 of 90 last time he was in Europe In Germany they will ask you when your flight back is. If he cant show em a valid ticket for the next day, he wount sneak in. The Problem is, he has to get either a working, a sports or a student visa. Because he cant get a "better" holiday visa. And working visa is though in that short time, but this "work and blablabla" visa (not the real working visa, the visa MC and friends had during their time in germany) will be his best chance, he cant get a sport visa because esport in germany no sport and he cant get a student visa because no student at a german university. If he does it right he could get this work and do your stuff visa. Even if burocraty is very slow in Germany, there are often official options like "pay 60€ more and have it in 3 days". For example if we Germans need very fast a new passport, we pay up to 45€ and got it in 3 days instead of 4 weeks. Thats how we pay our bourocrats. | ||
