Russian Dota 2 players overcome initial entry denial to compete in StarLadder Minor in Ukraine

Travel Issues Resolved for Teams in StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor

Teams with Russian players on their roster faced potential issues competing in the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor, but those issues have been resolved.

Gambit Esports was the first team to experience problems upon arriving in Kiev, Ukraine for the upcoming Dota Pro Circuit Minor.

Three players from Gambit, as well as their coach and manager, were denied entry into the country.

Similarly, OG’s player, iLTW, also faced a similar issue with entry into Ukraine.

However, StarLadder and Valve worked together to ensure the players’ entry into the country, avoiding any disruptions to the tournament.

The travel issues faced by the teams highlight the ongoing challenges with visa and travel restrictions in the esports industry.

Conclusion and Tournament Details

With the travel issues now resolved, the eight teams will compete in the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor from March 7 to 10. The event offers a prize pool of $300,000, 500 DPC points, and the final spot in the DreamLeague Season 11 Stockholm Major.
