VCT 2025: EMEA Kickoff continues, but not all teams are participating in it in full. One of them was Apeks, but today it became known that the last player Mehmet “batujnax” Özaslan received a visa and will join the main team in the near future.

The team's performance with an incomplete lineup

A few weeks ago, representatives of Apeks announced on their official social media that the Turkish player batujnax had visa problems, which is why he could not join the team for VCT 2025: EMEA Kickoff. Instead, coach Chad “odeShiMa” Miller will take part in the matches. Together with him, the team played the first match against Gentle Mates in the first round of the playoffs, losing 0-2 and falling to the bottom bracket.

Solving the problem

But today, after one week since the start of the tournament, the team finally announced some good news. Batujnax himself said on his official social media that he had finally received a visa, which means he will be able to take part in the tournament and in the upcoming match.

Who has problems with the visa? I don't, because I just got it!

Later, the organization also confirmed this information and welcomed the player to Berlin on its social media.

We would like to remind you that tomorrow Apeks will take part in the match against Team Liquid in the 1st round of the lower bracket. This is an elimination match, so the teams will fight for the right to stay in the tournament.
