All this just to get dismantled in Tier 1

It's just sad that the second they qualify, their team will fall apart because Riot games don't allow under 18 players. They will release 60 percent of the players, pick someone else up in a a hurry and get booted off the tier 1 scene in a year.
So much talent going to waste. You never know when you lose that edge. This is not puberty that it's fixed time period. What if riot is just delaying the prime and they can never play like this again?
It makes no sense. A joke of a rule is what it is. Pathetic.

dsyre will go on a run

Because its the law. VCT EMEA is hosted in germany so german rules apply.

One of them being following

Youth Employment Protection Act Night Rest
The location of working hours is also strictly regulated. Work by young people is generally only permitted between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.. There are some exceptions in certain industries.
