Yeah, and some things leaked in the Overwatch League in 2021, the LA Valiant vehemently claimed on Twitter that they weren't selling the team or moving to China. A month later they dropped the whole roster and replaced it with full Chinese players and a Chinese coach, to play in the Asia region. This isn't the only time something like this has happened from orgs. The LA Valiant is owned by the Immortals organization.
On top of that, there are teams that played with players from all regions of the world, but decided to drop all NA/EU players and go full Korean roster for better communication. They still play in NA, but it's a full Korean roster.
Also fun fact, T1 own part of the Philadelphia Fusion (academy only?) and they were one of the teams to do this. There is a giant compound being built in Philly specifically for them and tournaments. They wound up playing in Korea last season, but I haven't kept up with it this year to know if they're back in NA. Again, they (T1) changed it to a FULL Korean roster. They've done it once in another game, they're a Korean org, and they can do it again.
