GodLike Esports Faces World Championship Setback as Flirt, Viper and SkullG Denied Mexico Visas

GodLike Esports Faces World Championship Setback as Three Players Denied Mexico Visas

GodLike Esports has suffered a significant setback ahead of the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2026, with three of its players unable to travel to Mexico following visa rejections.

On November 3, GodLike player Flirt confirmed through his official X account that his Mexican visa application had been rejected alongside those of teammates Viper and SkullG.

The development comes just weeks before the international championship, scheduled to begin on December 4 in Mexico City, where GodLike had secured a qualification spot representing India.

Flirt Shares an Emotional Statement

In his announcement, Flirt expressed his disappointment at losing the opportunity to compete internationally after dedicating considerable time to preparation.

Representing India while competing for a prominent organisation such as GodLike had been an important personal ambition for the player. He also explained that reaching the international stage was a dream shared by his parents.

According to Flirt, the team's preparations had been progressing positively, with the players consistently improving throughout their practice sessions.

However, the unexpected visa decision has prevented him from taking part in the championship despite the effort invested over the preceding month.

Flirt also announced a final streaming session from the team's bootcamp and extended his best wishes to his teammates.

Another International Setback for GodLike Esports

The latest visa difficulties are particularly disappointing given GodLike's competitive achievements during the 2026 season.

The organisation secured India's second qualification spot for the World Championship following a successful domestic campaign, which included winning the India Points Major and leading the India Circuit Points standings.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time international travel complications have affected the organisation.

GodLike previously encountered visa-related difficulties involving international tournaments in Brazil in 2024 and Poland in 2025.

The repeated challenges highlight how administrative and travel requirements can affect esports teams even after they successfully qualify through competitive performance.

Uncertainty Surrounding the World Championship Lineup

With three players unable to travel, questions remain about how GodLike will approach the upcoming championship.

The organisation faces the challenge of assembling an eligible competitive lineup within the remaining preparation period.

As of the latest available reports, GodLike had not publicly confirmed its final solution to the roster situation.

A Disappointing Moment for Indian Esports

For players who dedicate months to reaching the international stage, missing a major championship because of visa complications represents a particularly difficult outcome.

GodLike's situation also highlights a broader challenge for Indian esports organisations competing internationally, where qualification alone does not guarantee participation.

While the affected players will miss the opportunity to compete in Mexico, their achievements throughout the qualification campaign remain an important part of GodLike's 2026 journey.

The Indian COD Mobile community now awaits further updates regarding the organisation's World Championship participation and its plans moving forward.
