Try keeping udotan (If possible) And kristal
And rest get 3 indian players. There is a chance this might work as kristal can Igl and all they need is support players for udotan
i think youre using the MENA term too broadly. im referring to the middle east (iran, iraq, dubai, saudi, bahrain), which plays in apac servers anyways. also, iran/pakistan/etc are part of apac officially. i think middle eastern players can play in apac too without taking import slots, its a complex situation the way the regional rules work in that area
Fairly certain middle eastern players are firmly within EMEA, seeing as they're in the name of the region.
The only outside case I can see is for Iran and Afghanistan, which are not listed for any regions (I'm not even sure if the game is released in either country tbh)
At least for challengers, Pakistan is a part of the VCL GCC in EMEA (official name is GCC, Pakistan & Iraq apparently, I didn't know until I just checked) If I had to guess, this is most likely just because of the current tensions between India and Pakistan & travel restrictions between the two.
(I know your comment was not that deep and I'm not arguing I just thought it was interesting)
i dont want udotan and kr1stal to play with indian players who we know will be worse than other players who are free agents just for the sake of having indian player
imagine being udo and kr1stal who want to win something and they cannot just because ge is experimenting with indian players while knowing they could have had better players who are f/a
