Patrick can’t participate in the kickoff tournament due to visa issues, so it seems he will be replaced by Deryeon.
Even so, I think GE will win
no way theyre putting vash in coaching. they glorify him so much that he has a title given to him by ph casters too and it made the people around think highly of him and i think its just gonna go down to "you know what i think theres something wrong with this squad. how about we remove everyone except vash
Strong passport doesn't always mean they would have granted a work visa. It depends on the documentation like savings, work history, LoR, sponsorship, criminal records, and working identification. I have a friend from college in Singapore who failed to get his work visa in Australia because his experience was lacking while my co worker who is from the Philippines got his work visa to Melbourne because he has far more experience while having worst savings and education. And since GE isn't a native Korean org, their LoR isn't that strong. So having someone who has been granted previously helps a lot.
Yes, it's required. They're making money so they need either a sports visa or a work visa. Korea has something similar to the p1 visa from the US called the e6. This visa doesn't care about how strong your passport is since it's for athletes and entertainers like for Asian games. So if you're not eligible based on the documentation, they can deny your claims since it's an employment visa and they don't care about how strong your visa is when its main use is for guests from the entertainment sector to be able to work in Korea for a month.
That is why it's easier for Deryeon to reapply for the visa since they already deemed him to be eligible while for someone new it'll be harder if they have incomplete documents such as LoR, GE business registration, their employment contract, and even proof of previous work qualification in the same field in this case esports which most newly sign doesn't have. So rather than gamble with someone new that might get rejected, deryeon is the safest bet since he was deemed eligible before in bleed which makes the process easier.
I state Australia because an Australian visa is easier than Korean one. So if you get rejected by Australians then the chances of you getting rejected by Korea is even higher.
