Honestly not too surprised at removing the 1 Chinese player per team requirement, even though it would've been nice to keep it. I feel like interest in SC2 is waning in China and elsewhere making it difficult to foster homegrown new comers. It's better to take this opportunity to "globify" the GPL as a spiritual successor to proleague-style tournaments and take the mantle of THE Premier Team League in SC2 currently with the backing of wealthy Chinese fans of starcraft essentially.
very illegal and very uncool

I'm surprised that they'd remove the Chinese-region player requirement, but I'm definitely on board with it as a one-season experiment at the very least.

This is unfortunately what we are standing now with the situation of local talent.

Update (20.2.2021): (Wiki)Cascade apparently fell out, according to this post from what is an official SCBoy account, I believe, which appears to confirm the list of twelve teams in the original post to participate next season.

I hope other prospects will be able to step up in the longer run. Dropping the rule makes sense ftm but this can't last
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

Still in contact with them so probably not entirely set in stone.

They dropped the one chinese player requirement probably because the lack of players in China. Unfortunately many retired or switched to other games in 2019-20, at least 6 just off the top of my head.
