The previous top laner, Lennart ‘Smittyj‘ Warkus, was removed from the lineup due to disciplinary issues and will be sent back to Europe.   [Source]         2. LoL: Diamondprox ineligible to compete in EU LCS due to visa problems Diamondprox According to Unicorns of Love latest announcement, Danil “Diamondprox” Reshetnikov will probably not be donning the colors of their uniform in the near future. This is due to the visa issues which they are currently facing as Germany does not recognize that being a pro gamer is a job. Diamondprox himself commented on the situation as well, which can be seen below:
From now on I’m not allowed to play LCS in regions I’m not work eligible in. German government doesn’t recognize playing LCS as some kind of job they’d give working visa for, so until it changes I can’t be a part of EU LCS. I feel really sad and crushed atm. For the past three years EU LCS became kind of a third home for me – it’s a place where not only I fight for success, but also a place where I meet a lot of beautiful ppl every time I come. I really hope to get the visa in the end and to come back to this place, but if not – I’ll miss it a lot. As for the UOL – I feel really sorry for not being able to play with them in the near future. It was a big joy for me to work in the team-atmosphere we had. I hope they’ll find a good replacement and will still destroy everyone. Can’t really get my thoughts together well right now, so no in-depth information. In the few following days I’ll think a lot about what I want to do while I’m not allowed to participate in EU LCS. I’ll keep you updated and will most likely answer all your questions on my stream after I come back home.
Such a sad fucking day.
