Admittedly I know next to nothing about the process of getting a Visa in the US, but I'd imagine playing video games isn't near the top of the list of qualifications for one...

sad news but it looks like they might be a silver lining in the "who will replace him" in the post.

There can be numerous issues with getting a visa. Like, it took Totalbiscuit years to be able to move to the US (where his wife and child lives) from the UK.

Years? I-130s are a bitch, but years sounds like a very long time.

American Employment Visa
You'd have to get a work visa in order to work in the United States or be considered an illegal worker. We kinda frown upon those.
He'd probably fall under section E3 (Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled Workers). Good luck getting the Department of Labor to certify a work visa request to "be a SC2 progamer."
More specifically:
FAQ
The standards used in making labor certification determinations under the new system will be substantially the same as those used in arriving at a determination in the former system. The determination will continue to be based on: whether there are not sufficient United States workers who are able, willing, qualified and available; whether the employment of the foriegn worker will have an adverse effect on the wages and working conditions of United States workers similarly employed; and whether the employer has met the procedural requirements of the regulations. (emphasis my own)
In other words, yeah. Right.

I hope ToD would start getting results soon, like Grubby. From what I've heard he was this wc3 monster, right?

Visa's are the bane of all travelers =[

It feels like retirement is close at hand...

and yet Stephano got one, hes been arrested before and that always gives you trouble gettin in to the US even for a holiday let alone to live. Me thinks money helps when it comes to Visa's..... if a company want you bad enough and have the money they can get you a visa, even if you have something on your record that would otherwise disqualify you, such as a drug bust.

Just after the announcment of ToD's departure :
