Does something count as an import for PRX? More just russian players in general in APAC but something is a good example I thought of, or does he count as APAC technically since Russia is technically in Asia but it is more of the Eurasia area.

Trivia: suzu once outaimed something in qualifiers
You're looking at it the wrong way. APAC ≠ Asia and EMEA ≠ EU. For example, countries like Saudi Arabia or Kazakhstan are Asian counties that are part of EMEA.
It also works by countries, so one side of a country can't be from one region and the other from another, or else people from that country would have the advantage to choose region. So something and jemkin are indeed EMEA players. That being said it works pretty well everywhere but in Far East Russia which I believe is the only region in the world screwed by the rule
You sure? At least in the past it was part of EMEA. Matter of fact I remember the Turkish VCL including countries like Mongolia kekw
It could have been updated recently do idk

Every CIS team are a part of EMEA, central Asia is a part or Turkey, I think Kazakhstan is in the same situation as Russia : Punished by Riot, but they are probably par of EMEA
I understand EMEA isn't just EU but most of the valorant scene is, since it stands for Europe middle-east africa obviously but does APAC cover all of the Asia and SEA region?
it should work like in cs for russia where far east teams play in asian rmrs. you dont really choose a region, you belong to a region which you're closest to. it wouldn't really be an advantage if only players that play from far east would be considered apac.
That is indeed, choosing a region. People can move freely inside the country and choose who are they closest to
its hard to put it down in rules but in practice its easy to determine whos been playing from far east/living there for most of their life and who hasnt. maybe evaluate cases individually, so not choosing regions but asking riot, giving them your 3 year old apac account and history of residency etc. but ofc i get why the rule works like it does as well.
Global Contract Database counts him as a Non-Resident so hes considered import
Russia is technically in Asia but it is more of the Eurasia area.
