YeaH!, Virtue withdraw from ESL LA League

21-4-2018 22:29

YeaH! and Virtue have withdrawn from the ESL Latin America League due to visa issues, ESPN Esports Brasil has revealed.

As part of the tournament rules, all teams were requested to secure visas to enter the United States by the end of the round robin stage, on April 28, as the winner will earn a spot at the ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals, in Dallas.

Yeah had hoped to postpone the deadline, claiming that they would only be able to secure visas for the players after returning to Brazil from the ESEA MDL Global Challenge, which will take place from May 9-10 in Leicester, but their request was rejected by ESL.

zqkS' YeaH! withdraw from the Latin American league

Virtue, who had earned the chance to compete in the league after signing the majority of the ex-Tempo Storm roster, also failed to obtain their visas in time and pulled out of the league after contacting ESL.

According to ESPN Esports Brasil, the duo's results in the league will be expunged. Virtue were sitting in third place, with a 5-1-2 record, while Yeah were fifth, with five victories and three defeats.

The top four teams of the round-robin stage will progress to the single-elimination playoffs, which will culminate with the final on May 6 at ESL Brazil's studios, in São Paulo.

SK, NTC and Luminosity don't play in SA. And ISG > Furia

2018-04-22 01:59

Have you see Furia's league play? They're destroying people, double the round difference of Isurus with the same record, from someone who didn't know a lot about the teams Furia look like a much more solid unit atm.

2018-04-22 02:03

To be fair NTC hasn't done shit besides fail to qualify for IEM vs windigo and then reform all they have is names at least Fuira and lumi have league play.

2018-04-22 10:00

why dont players just try to get a visa earlier? why do they wait until the last minute? if you know this type of situation can happen, why dont you just play the safe card and get a visa as soon as possible????

2018-04-21 22:39

This is disappointing. Both these rosters have a lot of potential.

2018-04-21 23:15

Wtf, a brazilian need a visa to play in a SA league?

2018-04-21 23:23

In case of qualifier to the finals of ESL Pro League in Dallas it's necesaary the visa.

S1mple and Flamie, is what SK need. hltv.org/forums/threads/1758870/ggwp-nav..

It seems hltv are very happy about Virtue withdrawing.

2018-04-22 00:02

disappointing tbh, I don't know if this was a lack of professionality or communication, but it's a shame that two of the best rosters can't attend

I have italian passport, i can play for then!!!

2018-04-22 00:08

Nah the real reason is Zqks is replacing xizt in Faze. Guy is a BEAST who will carry Faze to win a major.

2018-04-22 02:24

They should just do a bo5 between Furia and Isurus at this point. There is a team qualifying with 1 victory...

2018-04-22 02:34

No!

2018-04-22 07:26

Why is HLTV celebrating when Team Virtue is withdrawing from this league? Lost all respect I had for HLTV.

2018-04-22 08:37

Yeah is a new and well-structured team in Brazil, can not have problems like this, it only disturbs players!

2018-04-23 00:20
