When Scarz win

How do import rules work,
Do they have to pick a Russian player and drop the other one. Are they allowed to have 2 important players because the win ascension with them. Or the 2 Russian player's get grandfathered in as Pacific players and not count towards anyone's import rules?

Realistically Riot will have to update the rules to make a distinction between Regions in Russia
It is unreasonable to expect someone to play with 200 ping just because they were born in the wrong part of the country, instead of getting to play on the Asian servers which are way closer to them

And while Grandfathering would work, and Riot have done so with people below the minimum age, I think that would just lead to issues further down the line

They cant play in eu from vladivostok so its legal

I feel like once the CIS league comes back they are gonna follow the same model as the MENA league, just make an eastern and a western conference.

Also, idk if this rule applies in the whole world, but at least here in Spain what we do is, a player who has played 2 splits in the league counts as Regional, so starting next year all imports who played both splits will be considered regional (Same happens in LOL Superliga)

I don’t think allowing Russians to be completely regional on any Pacific league would be fair with that specific country. There were rumors about that in EMEA last off season, when IW wanted to make that full Russian roster to compete in Turkey, but they didn’t end up allowing it.

It’s a very complicated situation tbh
