This is just fucked up. Cypher missing all these tournaments, even though he qualifies. He has been to America many times before, he's a known person for them, multiple world champion of this game...why do they deny his visa? Any contest without the best ever Quake player is a joke and a sham. What if you deny participation in Football World Cup for Germany, Brazil, Argentina and Spain. Who cares who wins such a championship, who can be happy for the winner?

It's a complex situation. Last year he was deported from US when he tried to attend the Overwatch world cup. He also doesn't have a job, which is a big issue with the current US immigration policy. These are the major issues with US embassy that prevent him from receiving visa.

Still bullshit, not like they don't have a history of him attending tournaments and be himself a player of the highest level, winning $$$ from tournaments. Any trivial research can reveal that he is visiting USA just for the tournament. :(

Exactly my point...it is a very stupid and sad situation. It wouldn't even matter if he would win or lose. If I would win, victory would feel pretty bitter, knowing that Cypher was not present. The same goes for missing Agent, Avek or whoever. Beat everyone, beat the best and your joy will be full.

Solving visa problems for the United States is very simple:
Countries requiring visas to visit the US must also require visas for US citizens to enter their territory. Let the US finally stop thinking that Poles, Belarussians and other landlords will rush to the ocean to change their place of residence at the most will increase the cruise traffic. America ceased to be an attractive piece of time ago.

So why do they still rush (hint: visa refusal statistics)?

What about clawz? Why isn't he participating?

He wasn't interested in participating.

Noctis beat Rapha, only slightly surprising if at all, but Stacked lost to Team Liquid? What happened? Hope there's a VOD to watch.

VOD is available on official QC Twitch channel and Youtube

Thanks!

noctis

What happened was that some moron put an objective in our tdm game :/

We outfragged them like 2 to 1 on all maps but just didn't get the soul out. Lesson learned i guess.

LOL, well, good job, hope you had fun and better luck next time! Even though it’ll probably be Sacrifice, can’t see TDM (or CTF) on the QC horizon yet.

Really disappointed by voO's performance, especially considering how strong anarki seems to be with current patch. Hope it wasn't a one-time fluke on quakecon. gl next time.
