SA orgs fielding NA players?

after this season is done, would SA orgs (like kru or mibr) want to look at fielding an NA roster/more mixed roster? they didn't produce any results with their current rosters and there isn't a whole lot of talent in SA compared to NA. idk how orgs work or if they'd want to sign NA players since they are a SA based org

Pretty sure orgs have to have some domestic players on their roster. But they could definitely pick up a couple of NA players.

yeah thats what i thought, didnt know if it was different now since it's technically just "americas" now instead of NA and SA

It's not technically enforced, last year it was rumoured KRÜ were considering potentially going NA.

Eso va en contra de los principios por los cuales Kru fue fundado. La de dar lugar al talento de la región que no tiene tantas oportunidades como en otras regiones del mundo. Esto no necesariamente quiera decir que no los puedan romper, pero si lo hacen estarían traicionando a los valores propios de la institución.

A veces, en los deportes electrónicos, es necesario romper ciertos valores para ganar. Supongo que por eso KRÜ estaba pensando en unirse parcialmente a un equipo de habla inglesa por un tiempo corto, y al ver sus resultados recientes, no me sorprendería si esto no fuera la última vez que escuchemos rumores sobre ellos considerando hacer el cambio.

Aren't you mixing up the rumors of KRU partnering up with a NA org to use their facility in LA so they had not to build their own, with signing a NA roster?

No, I do remember back at the start of partnerships that there was interest in North American players from KRÜ, spoke to some players as well just to make sure back then. There was definitely an interest from KRÜ but it was short-lived.

orgs have to cater towards their fanbase, not just be competitive

No, cuz there will be an outrage from platam and bronzil.

There is not a lack of talent in SA. NA just has a bigger infrastructure and investment than what Latam and Brazil have. With orgs like Kru or Mibr not betting on regional talent they would kill their own region future by not letting their own Tier 2 promote players to Tier 1.

9z could only practice with 2 teams in the leading up to ascension due to all the tier 2 teams and one of them was Lev's academy. Before you had Kru,lev,furia,loud to practice with. There is a lack of competitive scrims.
