Your cute spoiler attempt doesn't change the fact that you're nationality bashing, which is *suppose* to be against the rules here. It's not nationality bashing if he's not bashing Americans, instead bashing the American visa system, which is what he was implying.
Anyway, this sucks for violet, I agree the visa system here is pretty bad.

This is a case where you might want to read what's in the spoilers. Sweet, give everyone permission to start bashing people for nationality and then putting a spoiler tag ... *Spoiler* "just kidding haha....". We can all keep that in mind
It's clearly a joke. No need to be so sensitive about it.

Way to take something way too personally.
This really sucks.

Your cute spoiler attempt doesn't change the fact that your nationality bashing, which is *suppose* to be against the rules here. I thought the content of the spoiler made it clear enough that I don't have anything against americans, but against this particular system. On that same note, my following post attempted to clarify that the issue isn't limited to the U.S, but anywhere where problems like this can arise on a regular basis. But I guess if you're really looking for something to be offended by, my post was stupid. I apologise, and I've edited it to make sure no one else misunderstands me.
I hate the system too. My Mexican family member (through marriage) also have difficulty with the visa/immigration system of the U.S. Alot of American's are pissed and fed-up with it. Appreciate the clarification and apology.

I agree that some of the blame lies with Violet (or at least with AZUBU coach(es) and management for not thinking about this possibility), but the fact that this wouldn't happen if the system was a different one doesn't change. I know that you can't only blame the visa system for the issue, but that doesn't mean I cannot dislike it for sometimes creating unnecessary situations.

Well there goes the group of death
|
and thats only cause no one of the big guys give a fuck about esport ... if you go to the NFL and playing in it, you would not get kicked out of the usa for sure ... same for NBA even the soccer league ... people have to see him as SPORTLER so he has a right to a fucking sport visa ...

Someone in WCS Americas has to forfeit because they couldn't get a visa to get into America.
If only there was someway to prevent this from being an issue.

These are the worst. I hate to see this happen to any player (except Targa), but it especially sucks when it's a player I really like. That must be the worst feeling -- the helplessness of dropping out of a tournament not because you were bested but because of something probably beyond your control. One wonders if viOlet himself dropped the ball, or maybe AZUBU, or whether it truly was something that was unpreventable. :/
On the plus side, hell, it's a better chance for the North Americans. Gogogo suppy/scarlett :D

In case you haven't checked on reddit csn_andrew (His manager) said this http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1euifd/violet_forfeits_wcs_america_premier_league/ca3wx2v
Hi guys viOLet's manager here, long story short when you spend too much time in the U.S. in the prior year, getting a VISA can be difficult. Professional gaming is getting there but it isn't exactly a recognized profession with embassy officials. We are working with Blizzard and MLG to resolve this issue and he should be back over to the U.S. in early June. The U.S. Embassy is extremely strict regarding matters like this and we don't want to do anything that would jeopardize obtaining the correct VISA and allowing him to stay in the U.S. more permanently. viOLet will be tweeting a statement regarding this later today. Most of all we want to apologize to the fans who support him. If your an avid follower of viOLet you know how much he loves the U.S. and wants nothing more to come back and be able to stay indefinitely. Also to note viOLet has not been back in the U.S. since the NASL S4 finals that he placed 2nd in back in December of 2012.

there goes my bet

I don't think its fair for the whole group that one guy gets a walkover straight to Winner's match. They should make the group play out so that the remaining players all have an equal shot.

There goes the only player I wanted to see. On the bright side, group might be finished before midnight. (unless they add some visa analysis)
