PRX fans come

how are shao, suygetsu, redgar, nats, chronicle, demon1 allowed, but 'something' who has played for a japanese org (paychecks from japanese tax payers) for like 6-8 months not allowed.

shao, suygetsu, redgar, nats, something, and chronicle are all russian citizens, demon1 is a US citizen. so that's how the process was faster for demon1

and I don't think something ever played on LAN in japan, I think he was playing from vlaivostok (eastern Russia). EDIT: incorrect

the process for the above mentioned russian players probably took just as long, but since they were signed during the off-season they had a lot more time to get their paperwork taken care of.

Something was barely signed in late march, so there's really only 3 months of leeway for him

Welcome to the world of immigration beauracracy, this shit usually takes months. Once a work visa expires or you lose the work that you justified under that visa, the only thing that becomes easier is your odds of getting another visa accepted again in the future (it can be rejected), but it will still take just as long.

I've replied to you in another thread:

The organisations of the first mentioned players maybe asked them what kind of documents they need for visas and prepared it during the split. PRX managers may forgot about it and thought that once Something was in Japan and right now he can get there any moment.
P.S. It's my guess
