That's assuming they're not having issues as well lol, they are also required to apply for a visa for France.

They're kind of between a rock and a hard place tbh, If they only apply for a Schengen visa after they qualify they have like 10 days after Tokyo to get it which is just straight up not enough time but if they're applying before Tokyo, their passports might not come back in time.

Although they could already have their Schengen visas for all we know.

I think for PRX's Paris visa, there should be a enough time unless they get unlucky. Don't know about Talon's case for Paris though.

That would be cutting it waaay to close though, they have to start way before they qualify because they'd have like 10 days left before Champs Paris starts if they wait till they actually qualify.

And also PatMen already has his visa for Tokyo so there's a chance Talon has theirs already.

According to PatMen on stream today, Something, F0rsaken, and some players from other teams are also having issues, which I think is because the French embassy holds on to your passport during the visa application process so they obviously can't travel without it.

What happens if more than one person from a team can't attend an event? And what do you guys think Riot does if there are several players that can't attend, especially in Talon's case where this event is important to them? I don't think Riot expected a 3 SEA team event tbh.

The tokyo visa is a non-issue, he already has it. The issue is that for a Schengen visa application they ask to hold on to your passport and obviously Patmen cant exactly travel to Japan without one.

Well, Jinggg said on stream that Patmen is apparently still in South Korea and that they might go to the gym tomorrow, so i don't think they're THAT worried.

edit: nvm you can apparently apply for a visa while in a foreign country.

Probs Cgrs, he's already in Tokyo for the showmatch so he can just be there stand-by until the last minute that they're sure they need him and I'm not saying this means anything but he's duoing with f0rsaken right now and playing Fade.

I have a hunch they would rather have the stand-in play Patmen's agents so they're more comfortable and not have to switch the whole team comp up rather than if MF were to stand in as a controller.

It just makes the most sense.

They also (sometimes) ask for your passport.

Are we watching the same games? i wanted Hiko off the roster but now I don't think he's the problem anymore. He's been playing pretty much on par with ethan this vct.
