Community Manager of Team Liquid in China confirmed on Weibo today (January 16) that superstar Amer “Miracle-“Al-Barkawi may not be present at The Chongqing Major. This information comes just three days before the start of the tournament.
According to this person, the Liquid organization is working with Valve to resolve the issues that arise so that Miracle- can compete in the second Minor tournament of the DPC. However, it is not clear why this post was removed on Weibo.
“Miracle- is having a hard time, but we’re working with Valve to fix it,’ wrote Liquid’s manager. “We won’t make an official announcement until everything becomes clear. Thank you for taking care of the team. But don’t think about anything.”
Many comments left on the related post said that Miracle- had visa problems because the player is a Polish citizen.
According to rumors, the Chinese government of Chongqing – the host of The Chongqing Major – has revoked the entry permits of some Polish citizens following a political scandal with a Huawei employee. And rumors also said that Liquid will be banned from participating in the tournament if it is announced that the reason Miracle- cannot compete with the team is to worry about the decision of the Chinese authorities.
Liquid’s community manager in China said that he is not authorized to respond to the above rumors. Meanwhile, Matthew”Cyborgmatt“Bailey, the manager of Team Secret, tweeted that Michal”Nisha“Jankowski, another Polish player, had no trouble getting a visa.
Earlier on Weibo, the organizers of The Chongqing Major posted an article saying that Miracle- could not attend the tournament. After that, Chu”Shadow” Zeyuy, the Chinese carry player, admits he is the standin to replace the position that Miracle- left in the Liquid lineup.
Talking more about Shadow, the player born in 1997 has had a remarkable track record of achievements after more than four years of playing Dota 2 professionally. Shadow’s climax must be the championship of The International 6 with Wings Gaming when defeating Digital Chaos with a score of 3-0.
After Wings disbanded due to many behind-the-scenes problems, Shadow switched to Team Random and most recently Eclipse – both teams. Dota 2 Other China. Shadow hasn’t played a professional game since last May, when he decided to leave Eclipse.
This information was also given by Vitalii Nikolaevich”v1lat“Volochai, caster Dota 2 on Russian channels, confirmed.
Liquid has not yet commented on the incident.
The Chongqing Major – a tournament worth a million USD with 15,000 DPC Points, will take place from January 19-27, bringing together 16 teams Dota 2 world leader at the moment. With these basic reasons, Liquid certainly doesn’t want their brightest star, Miracle-, to be sidelined when the TI7 champion still doesn’t have any DPC Points.
After Carlo”KukuPalad – a player of TNC Predator and also the main character in the drama “ching chong” in early November last year – it is very likely that Miracle- will not be able to set foot in China to compete due to objective issues.
Will TI9 – the tournament held in Shanghai, China in August this year – have the same unfortunate case?
