Oliveira couldn't go to esl because esl didn't send the invitation letter in time, so the visa was blocked.

No, no, no. ESL didn't lose the Europeans. Asians don't matter. They will not reflect on their own work, they will find any excuse to cover up their mistakes.

Guess what would have happened if it had been Clem or Reynor?

According to Hyperion (DKZ's manager and who helped Oliveria and Coffee for communication with ESL and applying visa):

ESL Asia was finished on May 21.
On May 22, Hyperion made contacted with correspond employee "A" of ESL, and requested help regarding visa and invitation letters, as he had done so before. He pointed out his concern about time issue, and if the players have to travel on June 14, the invitation letters has to be received before May 31.
On May 23, employee A told Hyperion "the invitation letters should be mailed today or tomorrow."
On May 24, when Hyperion asked for progress, A told him she was waiting for her colleague in Europe.
On May 25, when Hyperion asked for progress, A told him that she did not know that her colleague was day off yesterday. The invitation letters was mailed on that day anyway, and he was told that it was estimated to arrive before May 31.

All other required documents were prepared in the next few days.
However, it is said that the invitation letters was mailed by regular mail, not expedited or express mail.
Oliveria and Coffee had not received the invitation letters until June 4.
On June 5, Oliveria and Coffee gave their visa application to Swedish embassy/consulate successfully. But Jieshi, who planed to travel to Jönköping for open sign up, still did not received his own invitation letter and abandoned his plan.
ESL requested Oliveria and Coffee's visa application number and said they will try to contact Swedish embassy to speed up the progress, as it worked before.

On June 12, A told Hyperion that if the visa was a little bit late, they can help the players to reschedule flight.
From June 5 to 13, Hyperion contacted A several times and asked any progress between ESL and Swedish embassy, A said she had no news.

As 5pm local time of June 13, Oliveria and Coffee still did not receive any news regarding their visa. Since their flight is scheduled to take off on June 14, they have to forfeit their spot in ESL summer.

I'm so angry for esl !

Someone of esl didn't send the invitation letter in time, so his visa was blocked.

I strongly urge the esl to give him an apology and take the necessary steps to remedy it !!!!!!!!

F'U'C'K esl!

seems completely in line with their plan of making sc2 an EU only game. i can't think of anything they've done since their inception that hasn't been moving towards that (even if this case wasn't an intentional thing).

This is frustrating. It's also been a longstanding issue that reach outs and flight bookings are so late that tons of money is wasted on last minute flights. In the past few years I know multiple times flights cost between $500-5k more because they are booked days before.

Frustrating because it's so avoidable. Wonder if they're just screwed on the ept points they would have gotten for the event or if they'll be given some. Points help a lot with seeding for all the other events and can help you qualify or make deeper runs to earn even more points. And the guaranteed 120 points for the regionally qualified players is a lot.

It seems quite wired since chinese community assumed that esl send the mail late intentional so that Oliveira can not get a championship again. It doesn't make sense, in that case korean players would never get a chance to play any tournament out side Korea right?

Koreans do not need a visa to go to most Europe and American countries. Chinese needs one. And without an invitation letter (must be original form with a written signature, printed or electronic version will not work), their visa application will be rejected automatically.
