UPDATE
Hi Guys,
I apologise but after proving that it was legal for Leenock to be in the event, the hotel itself decided they dont want to risk having Leenock there.
Although not illegal, they are afraid he would be caught touching (as in physically touching) the poker machines or tables, which is a crime in NJ.
After fighting as much as possible, the hotels rule is final.
This has nothing to do with underage people being allowed in the hotels etc, it is just that you actually have to pass through the gaming hall to get to the venue. Which is the actual issue at hand that there is 'risk'.
In return, I will send leenock to Providence MLG.
We are now deciding which other player we will send, whether it be Inori, Choya or SiriuS.
I will announce later today whom we come to a conclusion about.
Sorry to disappoint leenocks fans, but I will make sure he gets to the USA asap!

Update #2: Inori will be attending in place of Leenock.
FXOpen e-Sports and Razer are excited to announce that Woo "FXOInori" Min Gyu and Lee "FXOLucky" In Soo will be playing at the IGN Proleague Season 3 finals.
When given the opportunity to travel to an international event this month, both FXOLeenock and FXOLucky asked to be sent to IPL3, and FXO and Razer have happily assisted them in doing so.
Lucky is one of the lesser known players, but has a wealth of results and experience under his belt. Having defeated the likes of Jinro, Bomber and Naniwa, he has proven he can play with the best and also managed a top 8 finish in the current GSL Code A season.
"Hello! This is my first foreign tournament, I'll be representing FXO, i'll try my best and work hard for our other members who could not participate, and special thanks to Razer for letting this happen!"
- Lee "Lucky" In Soo
