Diamond indefinitely can't play because of visa issues.

This visa stuff with esports is getting to be super fucking bullshit.

I think they are, yeah.

My guess is that the German visa offices are being more accommodating to the Korean players.

Russian players having visa issues for esports is not a new development, sadly.

Ryu not playing this week!

Turns out it's not just a Russian thing, but a systemic issue. LCS being in Germany is a major problem.

Fnatic and g2 might be the only teams able to keep their Koreans in Europe b/c they got their work visas in the UK/Spain.

First off, I love Prof. Dyrus. Almost as much as I liked Crumbzz the Prophet (which was a fair amount).

Also, who would pay to have the LCS casters do a game with hand puppets like the LPL?
