wNv's player, Savage, has yet again been denied Visa to Germany for the Extreme Masters III Global Finals.In November last year, Bin 'savage' Liu had also been denied Visa which resulted in wNv Teamwork CN missing one of the most important events, the WCG 2008 Germany finals in Cologne.
It seems that bad luck keeps striking the player as his Visa has yet again been denied, making it impossible for the team to find a replacement in time and therefor unable to participate in the EM III Global Finals in Hanover. It has been speculated that TitaNs eSports will replace wNv at the event, that is of course, if they get their Visa in time.
To add to this sad news, wNv has announced the departure of two of its players.
Yi 'zy' Zhou will be leaving esports in order to concentrate on his studies, while Savage's departure motive is uncertain.
This leave the team with Nan 'prom1se' Wang, Hui 'KangTa' Chen and Jiang 'virgo' Qian. No replacement for the departed players has yet been announced.

i love it when it comes down to clashes like WNV vs. sweed teams
damnit!!!!
in deutsche : SCHEISE?
But seriously, is it such a big deal to let one guy come to a foreign country for a short period of time? I bet those visa people were thinking: "He's good at killing innocent counter-terrorists in CS. He will try to prove his skills with AK47 in real life!"
I mean, I never heard of an athlete getting denied visa? Cos there would be too much bad publicity around it. I just wish these stories, of how teams break up over these things etc., were followed by the mainstream media and brought to the public's eye. I see this as unfair.
But by NOW they should already know and things like this shouldn't happen...
wNv haven't fought with top EU teams for too long, really sad.
