[NASL] aLive Replaces Strelok at Grand Finals

aLive replaces Strelok... to attend NASL Grand Finals


It is with heavy hearts that we announce today that unfortunately, Strelok was unable to receive a VISA in time to attend the NASL Grand Finals. We have been trying valiantly, along with Strelok for several weeks to get him a VISA faster so he could attend the event. We tried Blizzard and other big corporations to see if they could pressure the embassy to take action faster, we had a letter sent from an Ontario, CA congressman to the embassy on behalf of Strelok. Today however, we were informed that Strelok was unable to change the date of his appointment and can’t get a VISA in time to attend.

Due to this we needed a player to replace Strelok. Our Open Tournament runner up (TSL_aLive) was the first choice. After contacting their team manager, we confirmed aLive’s participation in the NASL Grand Finals, and are happy to announce that he will be attending!

Wow, lucky for alive but very sad for Strelok since he placed first in his group (bad luck for Darkforce).

That blows. I thought a requirement to entering the tournament was actually having a valid visa?

Guy's a professional Starcraft player who knows there's things like international events. I really can't believe he let this happen. Plan ahead anyone?

Good to see aLive attending though, another big name.

I have no idea how this works.
But why is Alive able to get a visa on a shorter notice then Strelok?

Pretty sad for Strelok hope he does well in season 2.

I'm going to go back and watch Strelok's hilarious NASL interviews in his honour.

Trying not to paint a whole region with a brush here, but there's been numerous problems with players from the Ex-USSR - Eastern European countries like Ukraine, Russia, Belarus - attaining visas and getting to international events in the past.

It honestly shouldn't have to happen these days.

Strelok nooooo! that really sucks, but what can you do if the embassy won't give him a visa though?

I thought all the players were supposed to prove they could attend the finals before the season applications went through? must not have been verified correctly then I guess...
In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, they are not

As we said at the start of the season, Strelok was the 'risk' player we accepted, because his team Mouz assured us that he could get a VISA on time.

Obviously, this is exactly the reason we had this rule, so now all the people complaining why we didn't invite certain players know why >_>! It's obviously very frustrating for us because we put about 30 hours of work preparing material for Strelok and now it's gone to waste, and we might not have time to prepare stuff for aLive. It's really frustrating for Strelok as well because he tried everything he could to get the VISA. Also sucks for DarkForcE for obvious reasons. It just sucks for everyone except aLive, great for him! =D

Well. Personally i find it to be Streloks fault. Your participating in International Tournaments, that may very well require you to travel. He should have applied for his Visa ages ago.

IMHO

Wow this is awful. Strelok seemed so pumped for this in his final interview saying he will prepare a lot.

Poor guy.

I was one of the detractors for that decision because I didn't expect these problems to persist in 2011 - looks like your cautious approach was right after all, in hindsight.


Darkforce will take out Alive, no problem.

Pretty crappy by Mousesports to assure you he could get a visa and then not deliver. I thought these were supposed to be professional businesses?

wouldnt it be fairer to invite one of the regular season participants to enter the finale instead of the open tournament runner up? coz this seems like youre putting a premium on a 6 day knockout tournament over a 2 month one which was supposed to be the main qualifier for this finale.

well, I think it is reasonable to demand a clarification from Strelok himself, sure, it sucks for him the most, but if I know that there might be the need of a VISA, then I am going to apply for one way ahead...
