kNgV- to miss ELEAGUE Premier group matches
Immortals star Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe will have to sit out his team's ELEAGUE Premier group matches due to visa issues, the player has revealed.
The 22-year-old wrote on Twitter that he is about to return to Brazil, where he will stay "for a while" as he looks to solve the visa issues that forced him to leave the United States last week.
Immortals have not yet announced who their fifth player in ELEAGUE Premier will be, with the Brazilian team due to play their first match on Friday evening, against MOUZ.
Team coach Rafael "zakk" Fernandes has been filling in for Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe in the ESL Pro League as João "horvy" Horvath, who was recently signed from k1ck, has also not been granted a visa yet.
After returning to Brazil last week, kNgV- flew to Canada to compete at DreamHack Open Montreal, helping Immortals to finish in second place. After the final, which was marred by a map forfeit, he came under fire for threatening CLG member Pujan "FNS" Mehta, who had written that three of the Brazilian players had been "hung over" in the semi-final match between the two teams.
