Have the divines heard Xmithie's prayers? Well, World? Here comes CLG Xthimie!
After the depressing story of how Jake "Xmithie" Puchero could not attend Worlds due to visa issues, JaeHyun "Huhi" Choi was supposed to play instead of Xmithie. Fortunately for the team, the Xmithie's visa has been approved yesterday according to the CLG twitter post.

According to Xmithie, it was for Counter Logic Gaming's front office members that pulled the magic for the Filipino jungler.
I want to thank everyone for helping me get my visa especially to the hardworking people of CLG @MaTTcomGO @Mylixia Couldn't be here w/o em

However, one would argue that the bootcamp experience for the rest CLG would have been more or less ineffective without Xmithie participating much in it. In a TwitLonger post, CLG coach Chris "Blurred Limes" Ehrenreich reassured his fans that both the NALCS Spring and Summer splits have prepared the team to be the NA champions.
CLG is now back to where they have started, but Xmithie's presence in the jungle will probably greatly improve CLG's probability advancing to the Knockout Stage. Do you think Xmithie's return to the jungle for CLG will greatly boost CLG's chances to advance? Leave us a comment and an answer to our poll.
