If you wanna get a P-1A visa yeah. Go for a B-1 and it takes like 4ish weeks. They're only here to compete, not take a position on an NA team. From the time they know they qualify, it should be enough time.
still hard my friend, everytime specially with brazilians its hard, independent on time or type of visa, is hard to get the approval, pa1nt and shahz subbed in because of it, GLRS almost went with -2 players, night on fortnite couldnt play with his duo on the last global fncs (texas)
Good middle point for both NA and SA teams, teams can scrim with Franchised teams with good ping, cheaper travel costs for orgs and no need to deal with possible VISA issues.
Production been kinda ass with all the tech pauses, but organizational wise all the other positives make up for it
