In an unexpected turn of events, one of the highest-earning Fortnite pros of 2024, Vanyak3k will not be able to participate in Fortnite FNCS 2024: Global Championship. The reason behind this is the multiple rejections of his visa. Sources previously said he did a personal interview with the American Embassy to resolve the issue, but nothing helped.

Vanyak3k took to social media platform X to share the devastating news of not being able to attend the Fortnite FNCS 2024: Global Championship in Texas, despite numerous efforts. The post gained over 900,000 views and nearly 6,000 likes on the first day.

The post said:

" I tried to get a visa 4 times, 2 times in Serbia, 2 times in Poland and I was rejected all times with the same reason , haha idk what to say…"

Many people have demanded that Epic Games not host any tournaments in the United States again. Vanyak3k is not the only one whose visa has been denied, right before the Globals. As of this writing, five players who worked hard to qualify for this event have been disqualified due to the same issue.
