Marcel 'dexter1' Feldkamp's Visa cancelled, CLG left without a starting jungler (Updated)
Feldkamp is on his way home after spending a night in a cell.
This article was originally published on GameSpot's sister site onGamers.com, which was dedicated to esports coverage.
Update: CLG General Manager Kelby May spoke briefly to onGamers about Feldkamp's Visa issues.
"Though Dexter's athlete visa is in progress, it hasn't been approved yet. He had documentation to come to the US legally through a visa waiver, but was still denied access to an extent and for reasons still unknown. Dexter is not an employee or contracted to CLG in any way. He has not been paid by the company or any of its employees, partners, or affiliates. We assume he was turned away due to the assumption he was attempting to enter the US and obtain work illegally, so this ruling greatly disappoints us if it is in fact true. Dexter is still trying out, but it is almost certain he will not be able to return to the US until he is an official employee and his athlete visa is approved."

We don't know why he got denied or how long till he can come back yet. His athlete visa needs to be approved before he comes back however
