AdmiralBulldog to miss TI8

Despite the International moving to Canada, it seems problems do not stop for AdmiralBulldog. The former TI winner will be unable to attend this years International too due to visa issues. Its that time of the year.

I know what you’re thinking, i’m a god damn baboon.

Let me just clarify a few things.

Since 2012 I’ve been travelling to A LOT of different countries around the world and i never had any issues getting there, now you’re probably thinking about TI7 USA and that’s true but there’s a lot of misunderstanding here. All the documents were in order it was just a small mistake that had big repercussion. I used the W word at the border and that meant I got refused as everyone knows.

So for Canada

I just want to be completely transparent with you guys, in my late teens, 8 years ago i did one stupid fucking mistake man. Nothing serious but enough to have a dot on my record and that has never caused any issues travelling anywhere however Canada is very strict about this stuff and while i still can get into Canada the procedures have been unbelievably slow. I started one and a half month ago and i probably need another month or two at least.

And as i said at the start having been to a lot of countries i never had anything close to this, its always been quick so i thought 6 weeks was more than enough, the only one that took a few weeks was for USA and that was just book a visa appointment and then it was done. You’re probably thinking i’m an incompetent baboon and that’s probably true on some level but in the 6 years i have been travelling not once have i had issues fixing the necessary documents in time and ofc this had to be for TI. I’m really bummed out about this, I know a lot of people wanted to meet me there so i’m sorry about this and sorry to valve for managing to miss the event twice in a row and i know how important i am to the event, seeing what a failure TI7 was because i missed it, it is likely TI8 will be really bad without me aswell 🙁

Whats coming up

I will do more events if i get invited, having had a lot of fun at the super major and epicenter its something i want to do more of, i will also be streaming TI from home. Even though I can’t go this year, I will ensure this issue is sorted for future events.
