Regional leagues have a rule that makes players from outside the region count as regional after X amount of splits (iirc 2 splits in EMEA, so 1 season).
In emea after 2 splits players can be counted as residents, maybe the same situ applies here? Because a lot of top contenders have imports like Bleed, some Japanese teams or maybe even Weibo if chinese teams are allowed
Exactly, then you choose the wrong example....
Pyth and Maxie conditions could not apply to the TS question since they were never on Bleed on the franchising era. At their time there was no rules about import player.
Minimum 3 starting lineup roster from resident challangers league country (according to global vcl construction rules). They're still allow using doma and ec1s if they keep maintain 3 lineup roster from resident players.
