The twisted sex videosplayoffs of ESL's Counter-Strike: Global OffensivePro League Season 4 are approaching, and it looks like the 12 qualifying teams are going to be allowed into Brazil to compete for the $750,000 prize pool.

A spokesperson for ESL confirmed to Mashableon Monday that everyone would have their visas on time.
Players and talent alike were afraid that they weren't going to be able to make it to the playoffs, which are the culmination of nine weeks of online competition. That's a lot of time invested in a tournament only to be barred from playing in the playoffs.

In the North American division, Cloud9, Immortals, SK Gaming, OpTic Gaming, NRG Esports and Team Liquid qualified for the playoffs alongside European teams Fnatic, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Mousesports, FaZe Clan, Team EnVyUs and Team Dignitas.
Cloud9, OpTic Gaming, NRG Esports and Team Liquid have issues with their visas because of Brazil's reciprocal visa policy, meaning the country only requires visas if those people's home country requires visas from Brazil's citizens (which includes the U.S. and Canada). The European teams and two Brazilian teams were not affected.
Selfless coach Ryu tweeted that Brazil was chosen as the spot for the finals during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio when travel was unrestricted.
