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, 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

The sad part is they don't need to as they have a monopoly in the SC2 scene and a duopoly in CS:GO. They're big and established enough that they just need to buy out the competition with the Saudi money.

If he does that, it means he will never able to travel to that country again.

You should know what happens when you cheat your way into the country with a visa for the wrong reasons.

If this truely is on ESL, it is a pretty big blunder that definetly not only warrants a public apology, but also some sort of statement how they will prevent such things in the future.
However, it should be very clear that there will be no online play. Never try to clean up a mess with another mess. It should also be somewhat clear that IF they decide to replace players, it will be with EU players - who else to get on such short notice to Sweden? Though it would probably be better to just leave the slots open and fill them through the Open Bracket.

And while reading the comments: Never forget, you don't have to watch ESL events. Just watch any other big offline tournament organised and paid for by someone else. Like...oh.

Honestly disgraceful, imagine having the reigning world champion forfeit because your staff hadn’t bothered to help make sure he got the visa in time.

The only way ESL can salvage this is to convince MaxPax to show up in person on the stage, lol. But yeah, we all know that ESL F this one up big time, but I dont think they even care that much at this point.

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.

This is not the first time Chinese players (and other players) have to miss an offline event due to incompetence from the organizing side, this goes all the way back to pre-covid DH, ESL and Blizzard days as there were multiple close calls.

It is a pity that oliveria can't go to the match.The qusetion is ESL should send the invitation at MAY 23 or 24 .Even if don't talk about should we simplify the complex process of the Swiss round competition to make players have more time to apply for the visa,ESL need to be responsible for it's delaying and admit his mistake,which apologizes to Chinese players for can't make the world champion show in the match.
