Visa issues threaten Na`Vi's IEM Sydney attendance

Natus Vincere may be forced to skip IEM Sydney due to visa issues, the organisation's CEO has revealed.

On Twitter, Yevhen "HarisPilton" Zolotarov wrote that four of the team's members - presumably Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev, Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko, Ioann "⁠Edward⁠" Sukhariev and coach Mikhaylo "⁠Kane⁠" Blagin - have not yet been granted visas to enter Australia, with their first match taking place in less than 72 hours.

Na`Vi could miss IEM Sydney

Earlier in the week, the Na`Vi CEO had revealed that Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov, Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev and team manager Yevgeniy "⁠ugin⁠" Yerofeyev were the only ones with everything sorted out, but remained hopeful that the rest of the squad would secure travelling visas in time for the event.

"The organisers can no longer wait. I am afraid there is no chance," Mr. Zolotarov added.

Natus Vincere have been drawn in Group B, alongside the likes of fnatic, Astralis and MOUZ. They are due to face MVP PK in their first match in the competition, on Tuesday at 07:30 .
