imfromchina [#2]i heard that kc let him go bc of his visa issues (russian)

Galactc [#5]The fpx and gambit russians are special for some reason and don't seem to deal with visa issues anymore I guess
I think they're fine in Europe because they've been doing it for a long time atp, but if the league never lets new russians in then they will always have issues
Anyway I think "suspicion" of potential visa issues is not a good enough reason to never pick up russian players

True I can't see how there isn't a way for making it easier like starting the process a lot sooner and having them stay in Berlin for longer in the year but it depends between individual people I think

I reckon its not up to riot to let them have visas easier
tutuuhhh [#11]I reckon its not up to riot to let them have visas easier
no one said that it is up to Riot, it's an org thing
All thanks to KC losing Pakko and F4ngeer
And keeping Fraudwatch Engh and Zeish
MrBlooBloom [#12]no one said that it is up to Riot, it's an org thing
well mb then but still it makes sense for orgs to not pick up more russians, why pay a dude who has a high chance of not playing lan or going to internationals

No Nats did face visa issues apparently but delayed by a day

Idk how Riot exactly wants things to be handled but theoratically it wouldn't be hard to fiddle with the contracts to make things smooth

I think its more how the EU wants things handled with the russia war

the EU can't do anything about the way esports org write their contracts

you would be surprised with the amount of things the eu is capable of making, specially when they are threatened by russia
imfromchina [#2]i heard that kc let him go bc of his visa issues (russian)
also AG offered way better deal in terms of money, way more money

I highly doubt the EU can change labour laws and such simply based on the nationaly of a few individuals

old fpx shao and suygetsu got their visas in 2022 and kept renewing them, old gambit roster had visa issues in early 2023, when they were signed to other t1 orgs, exp redbull 2023 when liquid played with mistic and enzo instead of redgar nats, cause they didn't have their visas ready. i also think being a resident of serbia helps with visa if you are russian, exp purp0

mb I looked it up and its up to the country, so Germany, but still they increased the requirements a lot
