Riot作出回应了
Core Team of Gambit Gaming Missing LCS London
Gambit Gaming的核心成员将会缺席LCS伦敦周
My name is Jason “Riotjasonoliver” Yeh and I’m the Head of EU eSports and
the Riot Germany office. I’m working with fellow Rioters to bring the
excitement of the LCS to as many fans as possible across Europe outside of
the Cologne studio. I’m very disappointed to confirm that the core team of
Gambit Gaming will not be present at LCS London due to visa issues.
我是Jason “Riotjasonoliver” Yeh，欧洲区eSports和Riot德国办公室的总负责人。
我与其他的Rioters合作，尽量带给大家刺激的感觉，并致力将这份感觉带到欧洲其他
地方，而不只是在德国的摄影棚。很失望地，因为签证问题，我在此确认Gambit
Gaming的核心成员将会缺席LCS伦敦周。
Typically, UK visa applications take 4-6 weeks to process from Russia. Gambit
Gaming was notified of LCS London near the end of the processing timeline.
Despite this tight deadline and in the face of unexpected complications, we
worked extensively with the team and did everything in our power to expedite
the process of obtaining visas. We also investigated alternative options such
as rescheduling or having Gambit play remotely from our Cologne studio.
Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons (e.g. security and connectivity
risks, unfairness to other teams) none of these alternative solutions proved
feasible. As a result, Gambit will be playing with 4 substitutes this weekend.
传统上，俄罗斯要取得英国签证的话，需要4-6星期。Gambit在这段时间即将结束时才
被告知他们需要到伦敦。虽然时间很紧拙，而且要面对意外复杂的手续，我们与队伍
有大量的合作并尽最大努力促进获得签证的过程。我们亦研究了替代方案，例如重新安
排赛程，或是让Gambit在科隆摄影棚远端比赛。遗憾地，因为各种原因（例如：保安和
连线风险、对其他队伍不公平），没有一个替代方案是可行的。故此，Gambit在周末会
有四个替代选手上场。
We’re truly sorry for this poor experience for Gambit Gaming and all the
fans. We really wanted the core of Gambit's roster to be with us in London.
We apologize for underestimating the difficulty Gambit Gaming would have in
attending the LCS London event. We wish that we had informed the teams sooner
about the roadshow so this would not have been an issue. Moving forward, we
will prepare all teams for potential roadshow locations as early as possible
in order to ensure such issues do not happen again.
对于Gambit Gaming和所有粉丝因这件事而有不佳的体验，我们真的觉得很抱歉。我们
真的很希望Gambit的核心阵容能够与我们在伦敦。我们为低估Gambit Gaming参加伦敦
赛事的难度致歉。我们应该早一点通知他们会有伦敦的比赛，那么签证就不会是问题。
展望未来，我们尽早为所有队伍考虑巡回站的地点，以避免同类事件再次发生。
