From Bestia:
We’ve just received confirmation from people who are doing everything they can to support us: on Monday, Lucho and Tomi will have their visas.
However, at the same time, we received an email from u/BLASTtv stating that we will be replaced by Legacy, and that the announcement will be made in the coming minutes.
I’m asking for one final push. Help us stop this injustice.
We deserve to represent Argentina at the Major, and there’s still time to make it happen.

longshot but Im hoping BLAST will make an exception and extend the deadline to let them play.
Rooting for Bestia to keep their spot, especially after that Dumau interview was posted yesterday
Update; According to the Bestia CEO, Blast is considering giving them more time following this announcement.

What the hell is going on
I know its 2 days late by the roster deadline but rules are dead. Make it an exception.
Blast just can’t seem to stop having PR nightmare Ls huh.
They know getting the US visa can be hard not letting Bestia through would be a dick move.
Legacy doesn’t have any visa issues just extend it until the last week before the major.
Deadlines are present for a reason. However Blast will extend the deadline if such an issue is remedied around the deadline.
Way Bestia has handled this entire situation is like that of a jaded influencer………
Considering how Astralis got an emergency substitution because br0 was “out sick”, surely Blast will allow an emergency for Bestia, right? 🙃🙃🙃
PGL extended the deadline for 9Pandas until just 3 days before the major started, obviously it’s much easier to replace them with a European team at a European major because of no visa requirements but 2 weeks is a pretty harsh deadline
Let Bestia attend ffs, a slight delay due to no fault of their own shouldn’t brutally punish them.
I hope that Bestia doesn’t get the spot actually.
I have nothing against them nor do I particularly support Legacy. It’s just that rules are there for a reason and if it’s pass the deadline, it’s pass the deadline.
I don’t generally agree with rulebending or what’s the point of rules lol but if Blast had already communicated with Legacy that they’ll get the spot, then there also shouldn’t be any backsies.

lol they were never reconsidering it i guess
Deadlines are there for a reason but stage 1 doesn’t start until the 3rd which is almost 2 weeks away. It’s the Majors, it’s a big deal for these teams, especially in SA region. They can make an exception for circumstances out of the team’s control.
Nice country to host the most important event of the season.
