zNation with visa problems

zNation have been forced to make last minute changes in their lineup for Copenhagen Games as two of their players were unable to obtain the required visas to travel to Denmark.

A day after Moscow Five's Sergey "Fox" Stolyarov missing Indian Gaming Carnival due to visa problems was announced, Russian Counter-Strike faces another problem due to visas required for Russian nationals to travel abroad.

This time it's two players from the medium seeded zNation, who will have to compete at Copenhagen Games without Dmitriy "payneb" Berdnikov and Pavel "pluto" Serykh. Exact reason as to why their applications were denied is unknown, but neither will be attending the event.

F_1N to make a temporary return for Copenhagen Games?

On top of that, the Counter-Strike: Source team of zNation were also denied their visa applications and they will be missing Copenhagen Games 2012, which also features a CS:S tournament.

Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov has traveled to Copenhagen with the team and will likely have to step in while the squad looks for another stand-in for the 20,000€ tournament which kicks off on Friday morning.
