First of all, there are not many off-line tournaments to start with, but yes, it would help. However, it is usually easy to get a visa to Russia. You know, it's easy to come to Russia, getting out - that's tricky  | ||

On the other hand, we simply don't have tournaments. Probably because of high organizational costs. Well, if I had 10^6 USD, I would make a really cool tournament rather than spend everything on booze/coke/... I really hope to see some SCll references in Korea-2022. | ||

Its hilarious watching "Dick Pound" point the finger at Russia though. back directly on topic, I'm fascinated to see if the new ATVI esports division attempts to pounce on this in some way.
