Perfecto likely to miss IEM Dallas

Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy was set to make his return to the server with BC.Game, but he will have to wait a while longer. The Russian rifler couldn't secure a visa to travel to the United States.

Perfecto was slated to stand in for Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad, who was benched by BC.Game after allegations surfaced against the Norwegian of over $300,000 in gambling debt owed to several people.

"I guess I can't make it to Dallas," Perfecto posted on Telegram. "I have never had problems with other visas, only with this one, but I can't do anything about it."

He's also listed as Falcons' stand-in for the BLAST.tv Major Austin, but he further wrote on Telegram that he doubts he will be able to get a visa before the Major.

Perfecto has been on the sidelines for over a year since his April 2024 benching from Cloud9. He was only released from his contract with the North American organization last month and will be able to search for a new team as a free agent.
