It's probably better to not get a pass, otherwise other teams or other regions are going to use this as a loophole for their rosters building in the future.
IMO they would do an exception for this, because technically jemkin have played 2 splits on japan and I heard that if u play 2 splits on a region you'll get naturalized or something like that
not naturalize as in like they are getting a green card from the country's government, as in like Riot would consider them as a region from that player so they won't be counted as import
Riot wouldn't make an exception if there was a problem
but there also isn't a problem, the scarz staff already said it isn't, atleast one had japan residency so they don't count as import
They can only have 1 import so either Jemkin or kr1stal needs to be out although both live in east russia. With that being said imagine if jemkin had japanese residency...
Tbh I think they should just count Russia as Asia if they started careers in Asia
Like if they don't they just fucking over the Russians cause no Russia vcl
I think riot should consider making an exception if Scarz wins, CIS doesn’t have a VCL this year which means that they had to play outside their own region. it just wouldn’t be fair for the players or the org to be forced a roster change since they’ve earned that spot 100% if they win
