Former PH Legislator, Esports Champion Bam Aquino Chimes in on #BringBrenToBerlin Issue

Former Philippine Senator and Esports champion Bam Aquino on Friday (September 3) chimed in on Bren Esports’ alleged removal from the Valorant Masters Berlin.

According to Aquino, his camp has already reached our to their friends in the esports community and are trying to find ways on how they can help the team.

“We reached out to our friends in the eSports community earlier & tried finding out how best to help,” Bam Aquino wrote on Twitter.

He also said that Bren Esports will issue their official announcement soon.

The former senator, who pushed for legislations to legitimize esports in the Philippines, reiterated his support to the community.

Meanwhile, Bren Esports’ coach asked the fans and supporters to calm down and avoid spreading rumors and false accusations as it will do more harm than good.

“Guys let’s just relax for a moment, calm down, and please refrain from spreading false accusation / rumors, it will do more harm than good.

He also believes that God will help the team, as it did when they won their spot that sent them to Berlin.

Visas not yet Denied?

According to a source, the embassy has yet to decide on the team’s visa application for the tournament.

Meaning, the team still has time to comply with all the necessary requirements to get the approval that they badly need.

However, Riot reportedly removed the team from the tournament unilaterally as the team failed to comply to fly in during the “window date.” This, despite the fact that the tournament is set to start on September 10.

With a very long time window, the team still has time to fill out their shortcomings to get a visa. The team’s Berlin attendance now rests in the hands of Riot.

The team even suggested to play inside their hotel room in Berlin until they finish their mandatory quarantine. That is if they will be allowed to fly in Germany.

According to Hyprgame’s source, there will be a last effort to reverse Riot’s decision.
