Think you're right, but you never know, someone with super deep pockets could buy them out. LPL releases full rosters at the last possible moment, so speculating is fun.

Buyouts require the team's consent.

Buyouts depend on the player contract: some players are able to negotiate a value which is defined in their contract that allows them leave the org. To a certain extent, its done to prevent a godlike player from being held hostage on a team against their will. Average pros don't have that negotiation power, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rookie and TheShy have clauses in their latest contracts which pay out handsomely if they fulfill the contract period, but have a procedure for leaving prematurely.

Hopefully Academy is weaker than TCS 🙂

You still can't negotiate with a player on another team without the team's consent. An unhappy player that wants out is always going to get the option to talk since nobody wants to pay an unhappy player to play like shit in a 5 man team.

In other news, a bunch of teams are having visa issues by the looks of it. Dig already dropped their academy top and now TL have issues with visas for Cain, Broxah, Shernfire. They're unsure if they'll have them sorted by the start of the season but either way it has already affected their practice.

So many visa issues? Did the law change or something? Is the immigration office lagging behind(a year ago a few people I knew complained that they couldn't leave the US for holidays because their student visas hadn't been processed for months)?

Not surprising, given the current state of the government.

I believe its not that the laws have changed, but they've been simply applied more strictly.

Before teams were putting ads in LA newspapers and I think that was enough to show that there "were no US citizens who could fulfil the position". Sounds like that's not enough anymore.

It would be funny if it was the Reddit na mid narrative influencing the government. I mean imagine oversight of this is your job and you know nothing about esports, but all the top google results are this narrative about teams not giving players a chance.

I don’t know anything about this story to be clear but I find this thought amusing.

Just show the US government footage of Scouting Grounds or TCS and they will change their mind really quickly lol. But seriously, watching these 2 events made me depressed at the future of native NA players especially compared to all other major regions :/

In other news, Faker himself confirmed that an LPL team offered him $10M/year and a NA team gave him a blank check so now we have a good idea of how much Faker is valuated at.
