PRESS RELEASE: FLASHPOINT LOS ANGELES
Through
February we’ve been extremely proud of our team to have overcome the European
Qualifier, granting us a spot at the Global Qualifier of Flashpoint League.
Defeating several teams higher ranked than us, going on a 6/1 win/loss run we
gained one of only two tickets, finishing second among 32 teams total in the
European qualifiers.
It is with great sadness we have to cancel the trip due to a series of VISA
application issues at the US Bulgarian Embassy, where our team and coach were
declined their VISA`s as a result we are not able to participate in this event.
We want to thank the lawyers from FaceIT and those at the Embassy trying their
best to help us with the VISA’s. We understand they had to do everything by the
book, we are sad to say that it all came down to a misunderstanding about the potential
winnings from the tournament.
We as a team are upset about this, but again this is not the end of the world! With
the experience about how this process works will surely give us ammunition not to
fail at a later stage. Because there will for sure will be several later
stages!
We are practicing and prepared for new challenges and we have just begun our
preparations for the Copenhagen Games in about 1.5 months.
Stay tuned Denmark. We are coming!
