Leffen's work visa situation
Because Leffen is from Sweden and Team SoloMid is an American sponsor, the United States considers Leffen to be "working" in the country, which would require a worker's visa. However, as Leffen did not have one, he was denied entrance to the country in October 2015, causing him to miss out on and four other American tournaments. Although Leffen was temporarily allowed into the country up until the end of July 2016, which allowed him to attend, because his visa was going through additional processing during that period of time, he was eventually deported from the country, causing him to miss the tournament. In addition, his work visa was denied, primarily for reasons that questioned Melee's legitimacy as a sport. The video showing the rejection letter started the #FreeLeffen movement in hopes of reversing the decision. Due to the movement, a petition was created on the White House petition site "We The People" in hopes of having the country recognize esports as a legitimate sport, however the White House declined to address the issue. On October 3rd, 2016, Leffen's US visa was fully processed and approved, allowing him to enter future tournaments such as.

Contrary to popular belief, fellow Swedish smasher did not need a work visa as he has a European sponsor.
