Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov commented that he finds it strange for the list of participants in the ESL One Birmingham 2024 tournament not to include the
1win lineup. He wonders why players did not obtain their visas early but thinks that given this situation, organizers could have reconsidered.
The streamer posted his thoughts about this issue through his personal Telegram channel.
“Apparently there was some meme on it, they say these guys from
1win already have visas and are ready for departure, but according to ESL rules all teams should have confirmed that they do possess visas and are ready for flight till yesterday until 12:00 their time and these guys didn’t manage. A bit odd ain’t they get at one day with visa a bit later or something? Well generally speaking as always some unclearness as follows. Then again if those chaps really want to fly somewhere and there is no problem with getting a visa for them as an ESL I would think twice before making such decision, moreover
OG must refuse to play under these conditions.”
According to an official statement by organisers of ESL One Birmingham 2024, published after that announcement
OG will take part in place of
Team Falcons while Timur “Ahilles” Kulmukhametov coach of
1win claimed team has every document necessary as well as told that simply organisers decided make them give
OG their slot instead.

One should also remind oneself that earlier Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, a streamer, spoke about the main aspect of
Team Falcons offlaner Ammar “ATF” al-Assaf’s playstyle.
