While Mvp isn't, Choya is participating in these qualifiers (playing under the ID Marineking, to make things more confusing)

So wait, can someone tell me how the new rules work for non-residents playing in different WCS regions? I thought only players who actually resided in the country, like ForGG and Hydra, and obviously all natural residents (born there) could participate in that country.

Presumably they found a country that it's very easy for Koreans to get legal resident status in.

Still though, do we know for sure this is the "real" Mvp? There is also SEA-region foreigner named Mvp for example

hmmmm iirc Taiwan was supposed to be one of the countries where it's difficult to acquire a visa that lets you compete in WCS. Even the guys on Taiwanese teams like San or Leenock are playing in GSL

I think I solved this. If you look at Aeromi's tweet, the name in the bracket isn't Mvp, it's IMMvp. There is a Taiwanese player named IMMvp. If it were the real Mvp he wouldn't be playing as "IMMvp" since he's definitely no longer on IM.

Why would anyone name themselves after one of the most well known players of all time? -.-

Also on Choya, I looked at the bracket Aeromi linked to again and I don't see Choya listed there at all. No idea why the Liquipedia page lists him.

Joining a Taiwanese team doesn't auto-qualify you to play in that region. You need to be a legal resident.

If this means he's going to a different game, keyboards will be broken.

You have to be a student at a Taiwanese University here in Taiwan to compete in WCS America Taiwan / Hong Kong / Macao qualifiers.

Those are just accounts that have the same names as those players from Taiwanese fans. You know, the way MarineKing initially made his name Boxer?

Until someone gives an explanation how Choya managed to become a resident of Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau, I'm not really buying the Choya thing either. Choya didn't even play in WCS during 2014 when there was no resident restriction.

Other qualifier the Taiwanese IMMvp played in http://challonge.com/MSIBeaiit_TW Different account (IMMVP.849 and IMMvp). Not saying it really is Mvp playing in the WCS qualifier but I guess it's still possible?

E: Nevermind, dug up some other qualifiers where Mvp played in for sure, different account. So disregard this.


Also, I really don't believe Choya could somehow play in this.
