EG realistic plan for Tokyo

#1

If they qualify for Tokyo, how can they salvage their roster without Demon1? Alternate starting five to make a deep run

I didn’t mean it as him being Russians. I meant like, if Russians can get the VISA seems weird that other people couldn’t

diff passports have diff problems, Rus passport isn't the most problematic, you just hear about it often cuz Russian (Vietnamese and Chinese) players more often going on international tournaments and get visa rejects

I've just checked Liquidpedia: hahahahah
"Max "Demon1" Mazanov". You were pretty close. I would guess he's Russian speaking American-born guy :) (It's just my guess, it's better to ask him personally!)

First paragraph is purely based off memory since I cant find any receipts, so take it with a semi large grain of salt

I sadly cant remember where its from, but Leo Faria stated that they had to do visas at the start of the season with teams filing who they want visas for (he gave an exact time when they did it and why, but I cant find the clip so I dont wanna say wrong stuff) - some pro/coach, whos name I cant remember either, in sliggys chat said that they apparently had limited player "slots" (i'd assume this was a cost saving measure since riot has to get visas for 30 teams)

EG only subbed in Demon1 after that deadline so he doesn't have said visa and getting one on short notice isn't possible (at least based on what has publicly been said. Hopefully if eg qualify riot can make something work but I wouldn't count on it atm)
Demon1 has confirmed it a couple of times on his stream that he doesn't think he'd be able to go

the Question is will they go to tokyo??
LOUD and C9 will go
They have to beat FURIA , NRG,
They won against NRG but we all know NRG are very slow starters so once they get going its hard to beat them

tbh, they do have like 3 other jett players sitting on the bench right now, will be interesting to see who is the replacement
