SIX IMPORTS in EMEA this year. no talent? no scouting? how the hell does this happen. literally half of the league has imports
tserc [#3]I don't think Florescent is an import, afaik GC alumni does not count as imports
doesn't count as one but come on

only like 3 of these qualify as actual imports in which they were on EMEA rosters prior to Americas. 90% of these people just have either dual citizenship or non-american nationalities lmao.

Me when the ethnically foreign player who has been living in NA for 5+ years (or their entire life lol) and has had their entire esports career centered around NA, doesn't go back to their home country to compete :

Are these even considered "import"? Like are these player originated from outside VCT AMER sphere?

you're technically right but I was referring to just getting players from Americas/other regions

r u fucking stupid
zombzino [#13]you're technically right but I was referring to just getting players from Americas/other regions
I mean, the rules are also confusing to me, I think Riot needs to expound the rules about which players are eligible to play in Tier 1

5 including coaches
1243 [#2]ngl fnatic was banking on leo returning. idk emea looking hella weak rn
How can you say that EMEA are weak when VIT looking like they can beat every single team over in Americas. Can say the same about Heretics. FNC have downgraded but are still strong with their core, KC lookin like a very good team too. Every single mid table team having upgraded. IMO Pacific strongest, EMEA and Americas theyre both equally strong giving a slight edge to EMEA. And China as the weakest.
zombzino [#16]if they're all bots, then why import them? is there no talent left in emea t2 or even t1? americas players have high salaries yet these teams are still trying to get them over domestic talent lmfao. choosing imported "bots" over domestic "bots"
I'm glad you braught up the salaries cause if im correct, only had buyout on her, rest were either dropped or with contract till this year and as #5 mentioned, the buyouts on t2 talent in emea might atually be crazier then importing unrestricted FA from other side of the world.
6 out of 60 players is pretty much nothing. Compared that to NA teams having to only fill 30 slots + 5 from LEV considering they are English speaking. And even out of those both Less and Saadhak were playing in the non-English speaking SA teams previously, and both are no-brainers considering them being top tier in their roles. I don't count SA teams because they are sticking to Spanish/Portuguese speaking players. EMEA has shit ton of spots to fill considering that 11/12 of the teams are international and English speaking.
