I would say competitive ruling (since he has a reputation of being a soloqueue tilter/rager) but surely they would have done a background check before the start of the season and not after week 1. Maybe internal drama? And they want to see if he mellows out after the week before making the move permanent?

Also confirmed that Bunny is starting VS TiP and Dardoch and Matt are starting for TL.

I think it has to be some internal issue, a ban wouldn't make sense since he's playing now and I doubt he can get banworthy levels of reports in like three weeks (it would be a darkwinjax tier accomplishment though)

Visa issues would be something dig would explain rather than wait until Monday

It could be personal reasons like dead grandmother or something, where he had to fly home and they want to respect his privacy for a few days. Not sure though.

So apparently the visas for NA LCS are in flames, so it's possible that SmittyJ is indeed visa issues. Inversely, Kirei doesn't have these issues

Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

Fwiw, Froggen and kfo stopped being "probable to start" on fantasy site and considering that Selfie is in Europe, probably both are starting.

TIP are starting the same five as in the Week 1, still no sign of Procxin and Pirean.

They were conveniently ignored last week, but people playing on tourist visa apparently.

New TSM Legends video. Based on the little footage we have I am not impressed at all with the new coaching staff. KC is (as expected) as useless as something on a man, and the strategic coach doesn't seem like he knows how to structure anything. DL brings up a lot of concerns, and I keep wondering why its him and not the coaching staff that does this.

Makes you really wonder why some teams thought it was ok to ignore the Visa rules in the first place. I hope they did not lie to Riot about it, they would probably not take it too kindly.
Maybe Riot knew about it though and just started to act after other teams complained.

Competitive ruling translation
https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/42apko/lolesports_br_competitive_ruling_pain_and_intz/

Facts:

In the 4th of December 2015 paiN gaming and INTZ Team presented their official rosters for the CBLoL First split 2016

The competition rules dictate that, besides 5 starters and a coach, at least 2 reserve players need to be registered. Both organizations sent rosters as requested, however, after investigation, the official concluded that some of those signings were irregular.

About paiN Gaming's case:

The player Aleksi "Hiiva" Kaikkonen, registered as paiN's support didn't have a contract with the organization, besides never having authorized being registered by paiN, so this situation is irregular.

Thus, the organization only had one valid substitute player in the time of submitting the roster, not being in accord with the rules that demand a minimum of two substitutes.

About INTZ's case

The registering of player Luan "SNK" Almeida, as a reserve player, was irregular, seeing that he was impeded from being registered as a player since he was one of the owners Red Canids at the time.

The player Michael "Veteran" Archer didn't authorize his registration as a reserve player, so the registration was irregular

Thus, the organization didn't have any valid reserve players when the roster was submitted, not being in accord with the rules that demand a minimum of two substitutes.

On the 22nd of January 2016, both organizations were informed of these penalties by the CBLoL 2016 officials

Decision:

The organizations INTZ Team and paiN Gaming violated the items 3.2 and 4.1 of the CBLoL 2016 regulation and will be penalized.

Penalties:

Deduction of 2 (two) points in the CBLoL standings per missing player. Thus:

paiN Gaming: deduction of 2 (two) points
INTZ: deduction of 4 (four) points

With this, the organizations are authorized to include new players to fill in these sub positions (1 on paiN and 2 on INTZ) without additional penalities, respecting the CBLoL rules
