The CSA produced 500 pages of paperwork and spent $5,000 on lawyers’ and immigration fees for each application.
Holy shit, that's a lot of work hours that shouldn't be necessary ><

Holy shit, that's a lot of work hours that shouldn't be necessary >< I can't be sure, as I'm Canadian, but 500 pages seems like a gross exaggeration. My clients receive $20,000 in legal fees for just the review and adjustment of less than a hundred pages in contracts. It's possible if the 500 pages were gathered by CSA, and by gather I mean print off every single article/report/thread about Polt. There is little precedence, so gathering a lot of evidence is probably a necessary step. Having said that, I am really impressed with CSA. These are the steps that every organization is skipping, and cause ridiculous and embarrassing problems for progaming in the long run. I hope the CSA continues with its success and keeps growing, providing its success to all progaming organizations in NA and eventually the world. | ||

Sure pro gamer is more accurate, but it doesn't do anything for him. I believe that was his point. The term shouldn't be athlete when it encompasses a lot more than that. Chess, poker, gamers, fishing, dressage etc. are all not athletes in the original sense of the word. It should be competitor or something similar. That would avoid every discussion turing into "lol, not athletes" | ||
