This would be a good solution for EMEA.

How is that ? I know they couldn't keep both of the imports but it is their decision to keep one over the other

kr1stal already agreed to leave prior to joining the team, probably thought he already knew he had his chances in tier 1 emea since there is a lack of igls

Such a stupid move from xlg if it was their decision. Still I guess some EMEA teams will be very happy with this. He can join a pacific team too like dfm or ge with mixed roasters.

Kristal shouldve been picked up in tier1 last year itself, He was farming t2 japan along with something and deserved to get into a t1 team. Sad that even winning ascension and MVPing in Gf doesnt give you a spot in t1

Okay lets look at EMEA IGLs

Gm8: RobbieBK
kc: Saadhak
Fut: Mrfallin
BBL: Probably turkish (sociablee?)
Vit: Cender
FNC: Boaster
Navi: ange1
TH: Boo
Giants: Cloud
Apeks: Molsi
Team Liquid: Nats? --> if anybody is gonna pick him up its probably liquid since nats is unproven as an IGL.

I think Emea massively improved their IGL issue by bringing in guys like robbie and saadhak and kicking the washed old IGLs like Redgar and Enzo. Cloud has shown serious potential already and sociablee IF he signs to BBL would be a big step up.

I struggle seeing a huge market atp for krystal. I think he is more likely to land in apac than Emea

What are benefits to fly to EMEA than staying in the China region? for Russian players, who lives and plays on Asian servers.
Give me your pros? I see only cons for them

They should speak not their native language either there. You don't need to worry about imports in Pacific and China too because there is only one spot. You have him or you don't have him. Here's no place to worry.
To get EU visa is much harder than Chinese or Korean visa for Russians

Players become home region players after 2 season played in the league. something is Pacific player is 2025. He played 2 full seasons in VCT Pacific

I'm quite confident that is fake information. I believe it was mentioned in the talk with Anonimotum the other day but I could be remembering wrong where I heard it.

Do you have a source for that?

Also as far as I'm concerned it's the opposite, they're extremely strict with it. For example as far as I understand Russ decided to be an APAC player with his Indian citizenship and now will always be an import if he comes back to EMEA no matter wta

Yes, and this is not gonna help, but as far as I know that rule only applies in EMEA. There is no LTR rule anywhere else
