I propose the Bahamas as the new location to do meetups, it's close to the US, has casinos, good conference rooms, it's a tax haven, AND the Hearthstone's World Championship will be done there. Blizzard must have chosen that location for a reason.. Other than that, sad for Daniel. This is madness =(

How do you get there? USA requires visa even for transfers, and most flights to the Bahamas originate or stop over in the USA, bringing the issue back to square 1.

There are flights via Toronto, for example

Yup, that solves some of the issue to an extent. But again, Europe-Canada is often served by a transfer or stop in the USA, hitting the same UX-funnel. Also, it's a longer (and likely more expensive) trip.

I believe Visa issues have been a huge problem in the past for esport events. So it makes sense for Blizzard to go there yes.
