After 9 months of effort, TRUE’s visa to the US has been approved! It’s a P1 (pro athlete) visa for a period starting June 19th. On the June 21st he will be in Germany competing in HomeStory Cup, and on the 27th will be headed to the United States to stay in the team house in Virginia.

Although it had been his dream to compete in the United States he had almost given up, and took some time off from Starcraft. Recently however, he came back with a vengeance competing in GSL, where he made Code A, and then also went on to win his match vs CJ Entus Bunny to make it to the most prestigious league in the world: GSL Code S.

With his visa approval he will be forfeiting his Code S spot, as he can’t physically be there to play his match in Korea. It was a hard choice he had to make, but his ultimate goal in 2016 was to get to the US to play in Blizzard’s World Championship Series.

Starting very late in season 3, he needs to quickly accumulate enough points to make the top 16 for the penultimate event of Starcraft: Blizzcon at Anaheim in November. Getting to the US is the start he’s been waiting on and PSISTORM Gaming is happy for him.
