Yesterday, May 23, the founder of the Argentine team Bestia Alejandro “Papo MC” Lococo published photocopies of the US visas of all the team's players in X, confirming that they are ready to participate in the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.
This step was a response to the organizers' decision to replace Bestia with the Brazilian team Legacy due to the alleged failure to obtain visas in time. Papo MC's message was accompanied by the hashtag #ArgentinaAlMundial and the text:
As we have always said, WE HAVE THE VISAS and we are READY FOR @BLASTtv @valvesoftware @CounterStrike #ArgentinaToWorldCup

Community support: Voices on the side of Bestia
The CS2 community is still reacting to the Bestia scandal. CS legend Gabriel “FaLLeN” Toledo expressed his support:
Unreal what's happening with the Bestia guys @CounterStrike @BLASTPremier It will never agree with this prioritization - seems to me like they decided it was more important to be on time with the right stickers or sth than making sure the right team who qualified is in.
Also anyone sending hate towards Legacy is also being unfair. They are just the next team. Could be any other one. They are not the ones who can fix this issue. Just stop.

Fans are actively commenting that the visas issued before Monday prove the team's readiness and are calling on BLAST to reconsider the decision, as Bestia fairly earned the ticket by defeating Legacy 2-0 in qualifying.
Importance for the tournament: A matter of fairness
The publication of the visas underscores the tension surrounding the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, which begins on June 3 in Austin , Texas. Bestia , qualifying for the major for the first time, has faced bureaucratic obstacles, but Papo MC's evidence has strengthened the club's position. The community, including professional players and organizations, continues to support #ArgentinaAlMundial, demanding that BLAST wait until Monday for official confirmation. The case could affect the reputation of the organizers if they ignore the evidence and leave BLAST out of the tournament.
