However, with his visa now secured, GE will enter Stage 1 at full strength, with patrickWHO reclaiming the duelist role that was temporarily filled by UdoTan.
“Guys, I have news about my visa. It is unfortunate for the other teams that I got it. See you in Seoul for Stage 1 #GEWinning” patrickWHO shared in a short video announcing the update.
