Will not be competing at IEM Shanghai

Unfortunately, after spending a lot of time, money and nerves, my china visa application got rejected. Not exactly sure why I am writing this since nobody cares anyway, but I guess i just need to rant somewhere. It really does suck to not be able to attend the only event I actually qualified for this year. I did everything I could to get the visa, but china is very strict to giving out visas to Kazakhstan passport holders. After driving down to Los Angeles twice I just got rejected right away even tho I had all the documents needed, but since I have Kazakhstan passport and I am not applying in my own country , they require official invite from the China government which is ridiculous. Obviously IEM was not able to provide me with a government invite and I can't blame them for that. I even tried using special agency to apply at a different embassy in San Francisco, but that ended up being a bigger waste of money and time as application got rejected again. Really upset about it, was really looking forward to visiting China, competing there and the fact that proleague finals will take place there makes me even sadder. Now I have one last chance at getting to wcs in Canada but I got the worst bracket being stuck with True, Kelagod and PandaBearMe... Also I did not go to cheesedelphia(basically the biggest lan outside of wcs in North America) because it would collapse with my flight to Shanghai. Never Lucky BabyRage
