Russian CS:GO players could reportedly miss IEM Rio Major Europe RMR due to visa issues

The Russian CS:GO players of Benched Heroes, 1WIN, Aurora, and K23 might not attend the Europe Regional Major Ranking (RMR) for IEM Rio Major due to visa issues, according to reports by Dust2.dk Cybersport, and HLTV.

This is because the European Commission tightened the visa processing for Russian citizens earlier this month. Russian citizens who are after short-stay visas to travel within the European Union are facing problems because the consulates are now allowed to deprioritize non-essential travel, extend the decision from 15 to 45 days, and request additional documents.
