Russian Players

The EU has banned Russians from entering the country, but what will Gambit and FPX do if Masters is held in Europe?

wait actually? link?

This is so fucked up man

Not only Gambit or FPX; Navi, Guild and Fnatic also have russian players.

I hope such restrictions never happen but I have a bad feeling about this

On another note, Iceland is technically not a member of the European Union, but I still think they may impose restrictions as well, but I really don't know

Oh, maybe I have grabbed some fake news. I just checked and there is no other article that says the same thing.
Anyway, I am very worried that it will affect the performance of the athletes and that their lives will not be in danger.

Oh true, I listed EMEA VCT teams but probably this affects more teams worldwide, like V1, or even Japanese teams with far east russian players as well :/

theres no point innocent russian citizens get banned from entering EU

Absolutely not, but when war is incoming, it is only expected for nations to close their borders, I doubt Russia let citizens enter or exit their borders, at least the same way it was before. The same for other european countries, flights will be more restricted from now on, especially the ones from/towards Ukraine/Russia as long as the warning of war continues

Thats so possible. we can only hope the situation wont get worse :(

dont worry cis will be stomped by eu in challengers

Russia has closed it's borders so let alone the EU, IF Gambit, FPX, Etc resided in Russia still, They wouldn't be able to travel to Europe anyway, But i don't doubt they'd still be able to play from Russia, It'd just mean no pc checks or people could monitor them while playing which might cause an issue for some people, I personally don't know where the members of gambit are or the members of FPX are so it could be a problem but i doubt it since there's still months until the actual main tournament
