This match will be a banger.

Throughout this time since the events in february russians were always able to leave the country through balkans, mostly serbia and montenegro, as well as the adjacent caucasus regions, mostly through georgia. Many remote workers are also currently residing in those countries, waiting things out. As for why certain esport teams aren't able to transport their russian players to somewhere within EU is a mystery to me and most likely is a logistic blunder, or a generic greed for not wanting to pay double - for the intermediate ticket to balkans and then to the country of destination.
