DESPE to stand in for Calyx at EPL S7 Finals

14-5-2018 09:42

Space Soldiers are struck with visa issues again, as their player Buğra "Calyx" Arkın was declined entrance to the United States. Instead of him, the team will be using their backup player Çağatay "DESPE" Sedef.

The news about Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın's visa issues follow shortly after Space Soldiers had to pull out of IEM Sydney 2018, alongside Natus Vincere, and the more recent news of NRG's UK-based coach Ian "⁠Immi⁠" Harding not being able to attend the ESL Pro League S7 Finals.

DESPE's last offline event was WESG 2017 EU&CIS

The information that Space Soldiers wouldn't be able to use Calyx at the upcoming $750,000 event, and that they would be playing with Çağatay "⁠DESPE⁠" Sedef instead, was leaked on Twitter before being confirmed by a Space Soldiers official.

DESPE, who became a reserve player for Space Soldiers back in May of 2017, will be play his first games for the Turkish side since November, when he stood in for Ahmet "⁠paz⁠" Karahoca at the WESG 2017 EU&CIS Regional Finals.

Therefore, Space Soldiers will have the following roster at ESL Pro League Season 7 Finals:

Engin "⁠MAJ3R⁠" Küpeli
Engin "⁠ngiN⁠" Kor
Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş
Ahmet "⁠paz⁠" Karahoca
Çağatay "⁠DESPE⁠" Sedef

Canpolat "⁠hardstyle⁠" Yıldıran (coach)

since its leaked, yes this is true. calyx couldnt obtain visa and despe will play.

2018-05-14 14:47

nt turk, dont be mad just because i told the truth

They havent impressed on Lan, so its not a big loss if they cancel.

No problem.Welcome home DESPE

RIP ALREADY

This is a disgrace! Tourney organisers should have these players covered or at least these players should get athlete visas. The amount of teams and players who experiences visa issues is outrageous. This problem should be fixed ASAP.

exactly what I always think

2018-05-14 10:13

no more events in US, please. until he changes visa policy.

So how come it's only Calyx? Does he have a criminal record? Not sure if U.S. is to blame when it's just one dude. If it was all Turks, then yeah.

Previously he was accepted though. I think it may just be random.

2018-05-14 10:05

getting US visa is random as fuck

We like to use our "brains" here in the US. You know, denying visa's randomly selected by a computer for no reason other than to prevent terrorist entry into our country from flagged countries. Appearance of security at its finest.

2018-05-14 11:49

Ever heard of sarcasm?

2018-05-14 13:42

you somehow took nonexistent bait congratulations

He's being ironic guys, chill.

xddd

2018-05-14 13:01

tbh i think visa thing is a lie and he's been cut from the team.

Why would they cut him over ngin and paz?

2018-05-14 11:43

he is a very good talent but he likes to play on his own, cannot adapt to team play. I know that xantares isn't happy with him.

Sad story. He's a good player.

2018-05-14 12:17

Also they need an awper on some maps, especially dust2. so i guess they wanted to give despe another chance.

2018-05-14 12:21

then +woxic someday

2018-05-14 13:43

would be nice.

woxic can't travel anywhere either...he has visa issues more than any other player I seen

2018-05-14 18:35

Maj3r said in a french itw he had to make everyone "happy" and quoted " baiting for Calyx, who doesn't like to go first " as an example... Also maybe they are aiming at getting w0xic to SS, and the major block to that was Calyx's presence... Also paz is as good as Calyx..

2018-05-16 15:35

despecito is back bitchez

USA USA USA nice country u guys got there xD afraid of some turkish video game player that u dont let him into ur country? when u have rednecks running around all over the place who can easily buy assault rifles in the next walmart? LOL

Or its that players and the orgs can't get their stuff together. They have this info months in advance, these people didn't handle their shiz like every other team did. If you file your paperwork and get your affairs in order you get in, if you dont, you cant. Simple as that brotha

2018-05-14 13:04

2018-05-14 13:05

Maybe DESPE not onliner, and power up SS 🤔

Lmao, NA teams always get their full roster through visas but are still trash compared to the rest of the world :p

i just heard this, calyx is vac banned on us account!!! thats why trump deny his elitesport visa

2018-05-14 13:44

lmao that dude loses to 6lvl faceit puggers

another NA event, another VISA issue just fucking stop it with events in US until they find a solution to VISA issues. it's beyond ridiculous at this point. literally only e-sports nation that consistently have these issues. boycott that shithole excuse for a country

2018-05-14 13:53

give that man a medal

2018-05-14 14:01

Despe is a good player but the visa situation is really unfortunate

2018-05-14 14:05

Very sad to see this. However, kinda expected. Trump takes it wrongly with "the bomb has been planted".

2018-05-14 14:24

The visa issues should be irrelevant when it comes to E-sport whatsoever.

2018-05-14 14:30

they might win 12 rounds this tournament

Despe was a really good AWP player in his prime and now I hope for him to be like that once again. It would be really good for Space Soldiers since they needed an AWPer
