Can someone clarify is something is considered EMEA import or considered as special case because he is from far east Russia I think and only play Japan servers his whole career
Thats not true. He has to get a citizenship or a permanent residency in a Pacific country, and play for at least 50% of a regular season in order to change his status.
2.2.2. Resident Defined; Certification and Proof of Residency. A Team Member is considered a “Resident” of a country within a League Territory if the Team Member is either (i) a citizen, (ii) lawful permanent resident, or (iii) the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or asylum status) in a country in the League Territory. Each Team Member must certify his/her residency by (a) submitting an eligibility form and (b) providing proof that the Team Member holds one of the residency statuses set forth in causes (i)-(iii) above.
2.2.4. Dual Citizens. A Team Member who has dual citizenship or otherwise qualifies as a Resident of more than one country cannot be a Resident of two League Territories simultaneously. Once a Team Member declares residency for a Team in a League, in order to switch residency to another League the Team Member must have participated in at least fifty percent (50%) of regular season matches of their Team within that League in its most recent split (or most recent Season if there are not multiple splits).
