You just shouldn't be allowed to make a team for ascension that couldn't go to T1 if they won. Winning so you have to end up dropping one player is just stupid imo

It's possible that would happen, but I think we're at a point where there's top competitor teams consistenting of players from their own regions. Just helps out the lower level teams that don't have the talent development yet. I.e. dfm and the bottom half of Chinese teams.

You mean for franchising? I dont think that's a good idea, orgs import because their region are not good enough YET. But that doesn't mean regions won't develop or catch up. The moment the region catch up , the import rule or the even the concept of imports themselves will drag the region's own development down sooner or later.

If they're going to be able to play within the span of the time the team is in T1, pref first year, I don't see a problem with it.

maybe true for the import rule but I disagree with -18 players, cuz then they wouldnt be able to play at all which would suck for new young talent

I think #11 is a good compromise for it.

Okay, so I did more research, and basically, a player can 'declare' themselves as a part of the region if they have something proving that they are of that region. Since Yotaa is at least partially Japanese, there is a high probability that he has paperwork proving that he is of that region (I don't really know the specifics since I apparently just suck at googling)

Long story short, you need at least 3/5 players from that league in particular (i.e you need 3/5 players to be Japanese to play in the Japanese league) If you look at the team right now, it looks like there is only 1 player that is JP. EJAY and adrnking are obviously not Japanese and thus are considered 'imports' in this context. Meanwhile, Yotaa and Yoshii probably fall under an exception where they can 'prove' residency in Japan (as they are at least half and/or have some paperwork?) and thus are considered Japanese, even though they have the French and Pilipino flag on vlr.

So, yes, I admit I was wrong. That is not how it actually works, but I wasn't too far off, I guess.

Edit: in the larger context of the post, there are no rules against importing coaches. Additionally, you are allowed two imports for T2 anyway, so dimasick and Wolfen are okay. Also, to appease the Chinese league/govt, Hong Kong and Taiwan could be considered 'Chinese' in this context, so I think UCc does not count as an import from APAC (or he can 'prove' that he lives in China maybe?). But there is also the Taiwan/HK league so idk about how that works tbh.
