Hi twitch, I know i PM'd you but i will say here as well. We wanted to give you Dan seat since he qualified through NA Regional but with the Qcon rule that we can't share players on 1 seat this has ruined the idea. The other BYOC competition is what Dan is also looking forward to winning with the other Australian players. We all hope that you can find some other way

Pretty sure BYOC seats are limited and all of them are already occupied/sold. It would take someone to give up their spot for evil in order for him to get a seat.
What should that change anything? He's still a favorite to make it to the last 16 and cash, hell I'd do it if I had a seat. He just got a shitty bracket in the regionals.
idd unlike agent, I don't think he has a chance to win anything more than 10K, but then again 10K are a substantial amount and it's a shame for such good players to have trouble participating.
They provided 4 qualifiers of which first 3 he ignored, then a DE bracket where he just lost 2 games in a row. Ask yourself who was trying and who wasn't.
Clearly he wasn't motivated back then, and even now everyone is just saying he won't make it past top 16.
You can ask evil whether he knew the order of qualification will be used as base for seeding, but even if he didn't, his form clearly wasn't top 4 in Europe or top 8 globally, so it makes no difference for determining the actual winners of QC, which is more important than making sure some fallen star of QL gets $10k for his past troubles.
But I wish him luck in the BYOC and to prove us all wrong :)
Side of the strong? So evil is weak? The guy who flippantly ignored the qualifiers and now thinks can beat whole BYOC and then the qualified guys is weak in your eyes? :)
Cypher will probably quit playing QC now and disband from Virtus Pro, until perhaps next year if the game is still alive and the prize pool is equally good.
Is it really that hard for iD just to give him a slot...? This sounds a bit ridiculous. In the old days of ESWC they used to have direct invites for situations like this. Along with regular qualifiers.
alrihjt, peeps,it aint matter anymore - all visa procedures are cancelled, except for immigration ones.
all heil the next step of Russian-American friendships!!!
Evil should now have been offered a BYOC ticket. They gave away free tickets in the Quakecon Discord. I contacted the winner and told him about Evil's situation. He was kind enough to want to part with his extra ticket and said he sent an email to the address listed in the OP. Not sure if it was still necessary or already too late, but props to SteelKage nevertheless.
