Regarding the EWC.
Unfortunately, we will not be participating in this tournament—through no fault of our own or Muntun’s.
In the first 10 days of June, immediately after the qualifiers, we asked all relevant authorities about Russian foreign passports without biometric data. All authorities said that everything was fine, that you would be allowed in and would receive a visa—a statement that was subsequently confirmed multiple times.
When we arrived to apply for the visa, the information turned out to be completely the opposite. For several days, Muntun and we bombarded the ETC and France with requests to issue us visas in our existing passports. Unfortunately, we received a negative response, as we did regarding the possibility of playing the wildcard stage remotely (from the ECC; Muntun was ready and offered various forms of assistance).
Thus, to our great regret, we are withdrawing with a technical loss against the EVC, finishing in last place; Muntong said they would still award the prize money.
It’s nobody’s fault—it just happened that way; Lana KH had been fighting for visas the whole time.
See you at the BBROLE in August (and don’t forget to support the Geltek girls—I think I’ll be going with them)
The MLBB Mid Season Cup 2026 will take place from July 1 to August 1 in Paris, France. A total of 24 teams will compete in the LAN tournament, splitting $3,000,000 in prize money and 3,350 EWC Club Championship points among themselves.
