If this was because of ESL mistake, they should still join and play their games online.

That's so sad. Esl should apologize.
They lost their server, now they've lost their players and the champion.

OK so this is not even the first time this happened, I think?

Last year Time did not play in Valencia, but I dont think it was the visa issue, more likely because of Covid policy. And then HSC was replacing lots of players last year because of the same things and conflict with GSL schedule. The recent IEM also did not have Meomaika also because of visa issue.

ESL has always been a shit show. People say having Apollo at ESL is going to do great things for the scene but I beg to differ. CS:GO scene is pretty bad as well.

This seems like the best solution here.

You would have thought there was some kind of priority to getting the World fucking champion to events.

Well it's not like visa delays have been causing problems for Chinese players for literally years or anything, so there was no way to know this might be an issue. Oh, wait.

Outrageous, a big public apology won't help but is necessary anyway.

This is a pretty big mistake by ESL. Can't believe they wouldn't pay for expedited shipping when sending a letter to China especially when it was sent late to start with. If ESL replaces them with EU players that will be completely disgusting. They should probably just be allowed to play online. Alternatively if they are completely against online play (even though I'm confident Reynor or Serral would be allowed to play online under similar circumstances) then the tournament format should be changed and these slots should be filled by open bracket players.

That Prozess at esl seems like an absolute mess.
Tjey should have the invitation ready within hours after the regionals are done.

They could even pre sign them a couple days before, if it somehow is a longer process and just put all the unnecessary once in the trash. Then they could send out invitations the same day the regionals finish.
How is it the players (manager) responsibility to get ESL to send these Letters is insane as well.
It should be well known by now, what is needed for Chinese players to attend.

No world champion at the next event in the league, because of a technical issue. Just think of it.

100%
This makes ESL look like a joke of an organization and shows quite a fairly high level of incompetence on their end. It's quite a snub to treat the world champion like this as well. I wonder what ESL's next move will be, at the bare minimum they should allow those who have rightfully qualified but can't make it to the event in person due to ESL's own incompetence to at the bare minimum play online.

European Simp League (ESL for short) doesn't care about Chinese players or the Asian region. Only care about EU.

Pretty unforgiveable from ESL, they should be much more on their game about quickly helping with visas. That and or hold the Asia regionals much further in advance so there's more time to deal with visa complications.

Oliveria/Coffee should be allowed to play online, or at the very least be paid the prize money they would have gotten from attending (doesn't make up for lost potential earnings from a deeper run, but it's a start.)
