Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov, a prominent Dota 2 player representing Parivision, along with three other players, has successfully obtained US visas to compete in the upcoming ESL One Raleigh 2025 tournament. However, there remains an air of uncertainty surrounding their support player, Edgar "9Class" Naltakyan, who is in the process of applying for his visa.
9Class unfortunately missed out on competing in The International 2024 due to visa complications. He was a crucial member of the Tundra lineup prior to the tournament, with Martin "Saksa" Sazdov stepping in to fill his position. The team went on to secure a commendable 3rd place finish at the event held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
ESL One Raleigh 2025 is scheduled to take place from April 7 to 13 in North Carolina, offering participants the opportunity to battle it out for a substantial million-dollar prize pool and coveted EPT points. It is no secret that esports events frequently encounter visa hurdles, with Russian players often facing significant challenges in obtaining approvals, particularly during their initial attempts.
