HellRaisers pull out of EPL S7 due to visa issues; Heroic to fill in

9-5-2018 20:13

Due to visa complications for one of their players, HellRaisers have pulled out of the upcoming tournament.

The Ukraine-based organization have revealed that they would not be competing at the ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals LAN as their AWPer Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker has been denied entry visa for the United States, despite multiple attempts.

With that news, HellRaisers have decided against using their coach or using a player added as an emergency transfer, instead dropping out of the tournament.

The Turkish star will miss out on another event

woxic's visa has previously been an issue as well, as HellRaisers skipped out on DreamHack Austin and fielded a substitute at the StarSeries Invitational last year. Instead of HellRaisers, HEROIC will be attending the ESL Pro League Finals, with the team using an emergency transfer to add Jorgen "⁠cromen⁠" Robertsen to the lineup, who will play instead of the illness-struck Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel.

The groups and initial matchups now look as follows:

Group A
MOUZ	vs.	Sharks
FaZe	vs.	Cloud9
NRG	vs.	HEROIC
Natus Vincere	vs.	MVP PK
Group B
Liquid	vs.	Grayhound
Space Soldiers	vs.	Renegades
OpTic	vs.	Astralis
Ninjas in Pyjamas	vs.	SK

Unfortunately my visa declined and my teammates don't wanted to go with stand-in, so we decided to forfeit EPL Dallas Lan Finals.And Heroic gonna play instead of us.We took their spot in Dreamhack Tours. Sorry for all supporters i hate this visa situations. SAD!😢

LMFAO

2018-05-15 04:06

Woxic can't help where he's from, also Turkey doesn't really generate as many terrorists as other Middle Eastern countries

2018-05-09 21:10

The country thats out there terrorizing others is usa...when did middle easterns attack america lately? And how many midde eastern countries have been bombed by the US lately? Seems unfair to say that the middle east is the terrorist... just som propaganda that you belive in

2018-05-10 10:10

I never said the terrorists generated by Middle Eastern countries were from those countries, many are westerners radicalized by terrorist organization.

2018-05-10 22:54

So middle eastern terrorist groups don't exist now? Are you uneducated?

2018-05-22 03:27

Space soldiers are going (at least they did not announced they're not) and they are all Turkish

2018-05-09 21:11

they attended boston major. get visa at the beginning of this year. i don't expect any issues because of that.

2018-05-09 21:50

Retard Spoted

2018-05-10 06:36

USA is the only retarded country where those visa issues occur. Move all the huge events to Europe, all problems solved.

2018-05-10 10:56

Maybe Woxic has a criminal history? Hellraisers should kick him if they can't travel to any LAN.

2018-05-09 20:25

Nah, it's just America being America.

"Unfortunately I won't be able to apply for US visa from TR again. Right now,it's not possible to make an appointment before June 13th, which I need to get the visa within 15 days.I will go to Ukraine and apply over there, hopefully,I won't miss another tournament because of visa."

2018-05-09 20:30

2018-05-09 20:35

Oh, common man, wtf :(

Stop having tournaments in a country that bans people from every country east of Poland. It's basically limiting the competition. Now we don't know if HR could've showed more of their current line up on LAN. Fuck this.

2018-05-09 20:36

This..

2018-05-09 20:54

2018-05-09 20:43

Visa Issues Visa Issues Visa Issues Visa Issues affff USA it's still so racist in 2018 ffs! DreamHack and ESL pls stop make events in US pls, they're racists as fck, they don't deserve our presence over there. Comeback to only EU events, no Visa Issues anymore.

2018-05-09 23:41

That sucks. Relocate broski

2018-05-09 23:58

Fucking pathetic. But wcyd

2018-05-10 01:01

gj murica...like always.

2018-05-10 01:40

Dont blame murica for this blame E-Sport in general since its not an official sport and players dont get a athlete visa or have you ever seen a professional football player not attending a tournament because of visa issues?

2018-05-10 02:34

Players do get an athlete visa.

2018-05-10 07:34

They do get an athlete visa.

2018-05-10 11:21

It is US what do you expect?

2018-05-10 03:57

This is America

2018-05-10 09:29

Replace this guy asap? And don't get Turks again.. wtf are they thinking at HR side ?

HR is nothing without woxic LUL

2018-05-10 11:04

HR is nothing with him They can't even attend tournament so they have ZERO chances with him. They literally have more chances with EVERY OTHER PLAYER THAT IS NOT WOXIC. LUL

2018-05-10 11:11

they can not attend tournaments which is located in usa .. they have no problems with the others which most of are playing at the europe

2018-05-10 11:14

E league had tournaments in Boston as well so if you cant even attend all majors or all tournaments you are much better of getting another member. Even is that member is worse than him.

2018-05-10 12:01

thats sad for him :(

2018-05-10 11:32

watch out America, woxic is coming he will bomb your whole shitty country lul

2018-05-10 11:54

Ok so we get a utter shit heroic with half of the team gone instand of fnatic just because of stupid point rule, sometimes its better to use your brain than applying stupid rules when they dont make any sense in this situation

2018-05-10 12:14

so if Astralis come last and Envy come in the last spot for finals and cant go they should invite Astralis before all the teams that come ahead of them just because they are a better team on paper? lmfao that in itself doesn't make and sense. its Fnatics fault for coming below Heroic and even if Heroic couldn't go it would be North and then G2 getting the next invites before Fnatic because its the logical thing to do, you invite down the standings not just pick the best rated team, Fnatic should have won more matches its as simple as that and not stupid at all.

2018-05-10 15:38

The point is that online CS is utter shit anyway, online results dont imply to LAN at all most of the time, + heroic has changed more than half of the lineup in the season and they dont even have a fifth player so they need to get friburger, And yes of course it would be logical to invite a team like astralis instand of shitvyus or teams that wouldnt do a shit on LAN, even if they were last on an online league as irrelevant as this it would be legit to invite them over teams that nobody gives a shit about and that wont even make it out of groups

2018-05-10 15:48

whats the point in having the league then? it wouldn't at all be logical to invite the bottom of the ladder team over a team that performed better then them for the whole League, it defeats the whole purpose of having the league and a ladder. its like a football world cup being played and Germany coming bottom of there group and some team nobody gives a fuck about like Australia coming top and Fifa going yeah nah actually sorry but Germany are world number 1 atm so sorry Australia even though you come first you aren't going to the playoffs Germany is instead. if you have a league you must invite downwards or it defeats the purpose of having the league in the first place.
