Managers from VP and 9Pandas criticized VANSKOR's proposal regarding visas

The Dota 2 team manager of Virtus.pro, Ivan "4SV" Karpov, responded to Ivan "VANSKOR" Skorokhod's suggestion regarding early visa processing. He believes that the initiative won't help avoid issues with obtaining documents.

“According to him, tournament organizers need to learn how to issue invitations a year in advance. However, embassies still typically issue visas closer to the travel date.” - Ivan "4SV" Karpov

Former manager of 9Pandas, Aldar "Jamba" Jambinov, also doubted the effectiveness of VANSKOR's proposal. Visas are often granted only for specific trips, and at the beginning of the year, there isn't a precise schedule of events.

“It's not guaranteed that one will be able to obtain a long-term visa rather than just for the travel dates, which potentially may not be known at the beginning of the year since tournament announcements typically happen in spring or summer.” - Aldar "Jamba" Jambinov

On May 6th, it was announced that Tundra Esports would miss the LAN event PGL Wallachia Season 1 due to visa issues. Against this backdrop, VANSKOR suggested to team management to process documents for trips at the start of the season. More details on this can be found in the note below.
