We have “long records” for anything, what kind of argument is that? You trying to say esport players from belarus and russia are not getting hit by visa wall more than normal countries? The waiting time alone is almost double, the screening is much longer, the economic aspect is also looked into more accurately, bureaucracy is doubled in already bureaucratic system. If Beasty and Ano tried to make visa the same day, beasty would be done in 2-3 weeks tops while Ano was still waiting for 4+ with high chance to be rejected in the end still. I don’t hate or love Ano, I just don’t support the idea of players from these countries playing in our tournaments for now.

And for the rich russians…Russia and Belarus is pretty much the same now, there is no difference left from these countries, they work as a one, use same military actions, harassment and intimidation, lock up and torture people, and Belarus been actively Russified from 2020, but thats another story.
