MK Leo’s tweet. Rough translation: “Friends, I have an announcement… at last, I have acquired a US Visa! Thanks a lot to everyone for your support, good things are coming!”
Earlier today Leonardo “MK Leo” Lopez, widely regarded as the best Super Smash Bros. Wii U player in all of México, announced via Twitter that he had finally managed to obtain a Visa that should allow him to travel between the US and his native country.
Leo’s previous efforts to obtain a Visa over the last couple of years are well known amongst the community, so it’s exciting to hear that he’ll finally be able to travel and compete in tournaments taking place in the US. We reached out to him to ask about his feelings on this new development:
“I’m just really thankful all of the hard work and effort we’ve put towards getting this issue solved has finally paid off. I’d like to thank all of my friends, especially Keitaro, Citi from Smash Factor and my brother for their help. I want to use this opportunity to keep working hard and try to become the best player in the world.”
For the time being, Richard "Keitaro" King has already announced that Leo is confirmed to attend KTAR XIX, which will take place this November 19th.
Smashboards would like to congratulate Leo for the good news! We wish him the best of luck, and hope to see him at many tournaments very soon!
