Thunder Awaken will start his way to PGL Major Arlington 2022 with a technical loss

The South American team Thunder Awaken will start their journey at PGL Major Arlington 2022 with a technical loss. The team will be credited with an autolose in the match against Talon Esports, since DarkMago will not have time to issue a visa by the start of the event. In addition, Pakazs, Sacred and coach Vintage will only receive visas to the United States on August 4, the day the PGL Major Arlington 2022 starts, so the team will not be able to go to the match in full force.

We are sad to inform you that on Monday, July 25, DarkMago failed to obtain a visa to enter the United States, and he will not be able to participate in the group stage of PGL Major Arlington 2022. We are currently working on the option of holding the next interview at the embassy, hoping that the result will be favorable.

In addition to the above, the Pakazs, Sacred and Vintage coach visas are delayed until August 4th, the day we can fly to America. As a result, we will get a technical defeat on the first day of the group stage.

Only in recent days the number of participants who failed to obtain visas has increased several times. Yesterday, July 27, the Chinese team Xtreme Gaming withdrew from the championship, having decided to skip PGL Arlington Major 2022 after the visa difficulties of their carry. The Enity team, which will play with SabeRLight-, is left without the main first position.

The Fnatic team is also experiencing its difficulties, which will perform at PGL Arlington Major 2022 with three stand-ins. According to rumors, Royal Never Give Up will also be forced to play with a replacement, considering the possibility of inviting ana. In addition, Talon Esports, which invited Xepher from T1 as a stand-in, will have to play with the replacement.
