ponkt to stand in for Uniquestars at Asia Minor

15-7-2018 13:50

The latest Asia Minor team to be hit by visa problems is Uniquestars who will field in Daniel "⁠ponkt⁠" Punkt in place of Anton "⁠hydra⁠" Sviridon.

Uniquestars qualified for the Asia Minor by winning the Middle East & South Asia Open Qualifier. However, the Israeli squad will not be able to use their full lineup as hydra couldn't secure a visa to enter the United Kingdom where the event is taking place.

ponkt will replace the aforementioned player at the Asia Minor which will take place on July 16-20. The top two teams at the event will qualify for the FACEIT Major New Challengers Stage.

Uniquestars will attend the Asia Minor at the Twickenham Stadium with a stand-in

Uniquestars will compete in Group B alongside TYLOO, Tainted Minds, and 5POWER who will have three stand-ins. Over on Group A, Signature—another team that had visa issues—have been replaced by BOOT-d[S] while VG.Flash are having to play with Zhenghui "⁠z8z⁠" Liu instead of YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng.

Uniquestars will have the following lineup at the Asia Minor:

Lidor "⁠LaNrefNi⁠" Almasi
Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz
Barak "⁠shp3x⁠" Schneider
Guy "⁠anarkez⁠" Trachtman
Daniel "⁠ponkt⁠" Punkt

First Lol I did this from my phone and I wasn't even refreshing the page. Sad for Uniquestars, hopefully it won't make too much of a difference.

2018-07-15 23:54

Most likely , but still i don't get it. Just admit that you're bad / worse team , why you always making excuses : Jetlag , standin , new addition , summer break , we didnt prepared etc etc

idk i guess its because they still think of themselves as 2x major champions, and are clinging to that old feeling. seems like they're struggling to understand that they are far from being that team anymore

??? Because Israel is Asian?

2018-07-15 14:00

no? they qualify every sport, tournament in europe

2018-07-15 14:03

Easier route through Asian quals, they wouldn't qualify if they go the EU route.

2018-07-15 14:07

Israel is located on the Asian continent

2018-07-15 14:24

Dumbest is saying that they usually play in European tournaments because of obvious political issues, I didn't say it wasn't in Asia.

Anyone know why his visa got denied?

2018-07-15 14:13

maybe read the article and you'd know lol? twitter.com/ponktcsgo/status/10184136190.. he couldnt get his visa on time not that he was denied

2018-07-15 14:31

@galaxzy youre right, but he asked because its strange, cause israeli people don't need to get visa to go to the uk..

2018-07-15 14:45

Maybe don't believe everything u read, israel people do not even need visa for UK, I think problem was actually that person couldn't get his passport in time xddddd

2018-07-15 15:34

I really doubt it was the problem i think it got denied due some criminal records thats why i asked..

2018-07-15 15:52

Well at least he said it was about passport problem twitter.com/HYDRA1Z/status/1018433040903..

How come israel citizen need visa to UK?

2018-07-15 19:59

I think that the UK have done the thing with the Visa for not allowing muslims to immigrate to their country, and the issue with visa might be that he didn't applied earlier or something like that, maybe he wasn't 18... idk :D

wrong check again

2018-07-17 16:45

this Minor is an absolute mess, and therefore proofs that it's a wasted spot. I am sure EU tier3 teams would be a better challange for the top24 at the Major then a palyer with 16 maps on HLTV
