Visa issues continue to plague yet another Dota 2 <\/em>competition, with Xtreme Gaming officially withdrawing from the PGL Arling Dota <\/em>Pro Circuit Major due to one player having their applications declined multiple times. <\/p>
Instead of opting to compete with a stand-in, the team have decided to skip the event entirely, removing themselves from contention for a direct invite to The International 2022.\u00a0<\/p>
This would have been the first Major for Xtreme as an organization since China was forced to host a second Regional Final replacement event due to being unable to travel to the ESL One Stockholm Major at the end of the Spring Tour for several reasons. <\/p>
It is a disappointing end to a relatively strong season from Xtreme in their first season together as a cobbled-together unit of mostly Chinese veterans. It is also removing a potential contender from the Major, further adding to the last-minute changes before the finale of the 2022 DPC regular season. <\/p>
Previously, Fnatic announced that it would be attending the event and competing with three Valve-approved stand-ins<\/a> due to visa issues. Entity also announced that it would likely end up playing with TSM\u2019s Timado as a stand-in<\/a> for Pure as the controversial Russian player may have his visa denied.\u00a0<\/p>
