Professional Counter-Strike 2 player Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy reacted to the news that Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev might also be facing visa complications. Zalutskiy shared his thoughts on Telegram.
Looks like Sanya and I are going fishing. Who needs this Dallas anyway?
On May 16, Perfecto had previously reported his own issues with obtaining a US visa needed to compete with BCGame at IEM Dallas 2025. Zalutskiy mentioned at the time that he still had time to sort out the necessary permissions. Around the same period, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev from FaZe Clan also hinted at visa troubles, although the star player later clarified that his comment was made in jest.
IEM Dallas 2025 is scheduled to take place from May 19 to 25 in Dallas, USA. The tournament will feature 16 teams, including FaZe Clan with Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and Team Falcons with Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, competing for a total prize pool of $300,000.
