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. | ||

CS:GO scene is pretty bad as well. this, ESL has always been a mess, it s kinda sad they dont seem to learn from it and improve but I can't say I m surprised. It sucks for the players involved though | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.) | ||
