Pele denied!
The latest news over on the CPL website is that Russian Razer-CPL representative Pele has been denied a visa to attend the event!
Pele had been seeded 16th in the event and was considered a strong contender, but now the American embassy in Russia is refusing to even let him into the USA, on the grounds that they are "concerned about possible defection"! This is clearly ridiculous, and naturally the CPL is not exactly impressed with the decision... And neither are we.
