Hello guys, I decided to tell what's happening and what is current situation. In the beginning of May I went to NIP gaming house to play with new team. They said they will make me Work Visa but in 3 months nothing changed and I was still living using schengen that i did a while ago. I was believing NIP till the end but after we lost the promotion and lost our chance to get into LCS I understood that NIP is not willing to make me visa and visa that should be done in June-July won't be done at all. I missed 3 months without my family believing in the organization. My schengen visa expired, I couldn't be in Europe anymore and it was already obvious that NIP don't want to make me work visa especially after we didn't get into LCS and they were waiting to see if we get into LCS or not. I didn't want to stay in the organization anymore, they still owe me all the money (salary and prize money) : the sum is around 5k euro. Right now the official representetive of NIP is ignoring me in skype even though I sent them invoice at 14 of September, still 0 answer. It is sad because I thought that NIP is reliable organization and I trusted it very much.
Why all those problems you will ask? Right now riot rule says :
1.2 Residency and Work Eligibility
Each player must submit proof that, at the time of any LCS-affiliated match,
he/she will be (a) a legal resident of a country in their region, and (b) work-eligible
in the United States (for NA players) or Germany (for EU players).
TBH I think even if NIP did me visa and I got into LCS I would still not be eligible to play in LCS. Why? Because as Russian with swedish visa I'm allowed to work only in Sweden. So to work in Germany I need German Visa and German Organization.
Right now it seems that it's almost impossible for me to play in Europe. Because it is really hard to find German Organization and it is really hard to get German working visa for russian. Only making visa would take 2-4 months. I don't think that any cybersport organization would take care of it because there are a lot of other european players, especially if you take in consideration that I got family and need to move them with me aswell. Basically I can't play now as I was playing in Gambit travelling back and forth from Russia. And knowing German rules even if I get working visa it will be really hard for me to move my family ( I will need to live there for couple of months already and my wife will need to pass german language test ).
I hate that I was born russian but I can't really do much with that and all those new rules just throw me and all my achievements in the trashbag as proplayer.
Right now I don't have that much options:
1) try to find German organization to play in European LCS
2) try to find American team to play in NA LCS that will help me and move my family
3) move to Brazil , because Russia-Brazil doesn't require visa
4) stay in Russia and play in russian leagues (not really an option because with money u can get here I cannot really pay the costs of living even).
5) retire.
I really want to stay relevant, keep playing my favourite game and keep pleasing you with my plays, but lately I was much more busy with trying to fix all visa thingies, looking for organization, moving back and forth trying to survive in league of legends. I guess I am too tired fighting against me being russian. Right now I think there is almost no way for russian player to get into somewhere because u cant play anywhere except russian leagues which are not that high skilled. It is like full isolation
So basically I am free agent and looking for team offers. If there is any organization willing to help me, I can easily make european team that can become contender for LCS spot.
En mi opinión los de NiP han sido unos cabrones y que la mejor opción es que se vaya a NA.
No pienso decorar el thread.
