[update] Chinese teams can't get to Kyiv
upd. The issue with the tickets has been resolved. WePlay organized a private flight for the Chinese teams. Soon, they will fly to Kyiv. But Malaysian Esports players still can miss the tournament
Six days before WePlay AniMajor, it became known that all Chinese teams have a problem arriving in Kyiv to participate in the tournament. Commentator ??Chen "Jophy" Ya said that they need to have a return ticket to leave China. This measure is one of the country's restrictions to combat the spread of the pandemic. The organizer hasn't provided the tickets yet.
PSG.LGD confirmed this information on their Weibo page. The team is actively negotiating with the tournament organizer and looking for a way out of the situation. There are rumors that the situation is complicated by the desire of some participants to stay in Europe until The International 10.
Also, according to the coach of PSG.LGD, ??Zhang "xiao8" Ning, there is a possibility that Invictus Gaming and their team may play with substitutions. ??Cheng "NothingToSay" Jin Xiang from PSG.LGD, ??Chan "Oli~" Chon Kien and ??Thiay "JT-" Jun Wen from Invictus Gaming are from Malaysia, strictly quarantined.
Four Chinese teams attend the upcoming WePlay AniMajor: Team Aster, PSG.LGD, Vici Gaming, and Invictus Gaming. The tournament itself runs from June 2 to 13. Eighteen participants from six regions compete for a total prize pool of $500,000 and 2,700 DPC points.
