The 1 organization, 1 team rule has resulted in many Korean players losing positions on their teams (like Flame :( ) and it wouldn't surprise me if the teams here in addition to EU and China are paying more than Korea is as well.

pretty much this. dont forget though that its only 2 players per team that can be non-NA players.

teams that existed before the rule was implemented were grandfathered in. any changes made after the rule was implemented has to work towards the 3/5 rule. so if like, bjergsen left TSM, theyd have to replace him with an NA mid laner. at least this is how the rule was explained when they wrote it.
