The participation of CS:GO teams K23, 1WIN, and Aurora in the IEM Rio Major Europe Regional Major Ranking (RMR) tournament was in danger after the European Commission tightened the visa guidelines for Russian citizens traveling to European countries. But all three squads have managed to arrive in Malta for the RMR with their respective full lineups, according to HLTV.
K23 has five Russian players, 1WIN has four Russian players, and Aurora has three Russian players in its lineup. These teams were reportedly facing difficulties getting the visas of some of their players approved alongside Benched Heroes, who ultimately had to forfeit their Europe RMR spot to Illuminar Gaming because Russian player Eugene “Aunkere” Karyat and Turkish player Buğra “Calyx” Arkın failed to get their visas approved in time.
