Considering that there is no Region Lock for Servers, and I’m constantly playing in NA servers even though I’m based in Brazil, it would be fair to allow South American players to be eligible for Solo Competitions at least.
Yes, we’ll have a huge disadvantage when competing due to ping, but at least we’ll get to compete.
According to the Handbook, “participants are eligible to compete in Solo Competitions without joining or owning a Team.”, so I see no reason to not allow players in different countries to compete. That would help further the development of the region for the competitive environment, so it can reach the point in which it will be invested by orgs and more sponsors.
Is there a plan to allow this?
