The new TSM
So was the TSM roster for IEM just a trial roster? They had 3 players on the team from the EU region and LCS teams have to have 3 out of 5 players from the region they are playing in so one of them has to go right? Anyone know?

Bjergson declared NA as his country of residence. So he "moved" to NA and is now considered an NA player. Hauntzer Sven and Dlift are confirmed to be on the TSM roster for next season. kaSing is on a try out right now but he seems to like the team (click here) )
For some reason Bjergsen counts as an NA player now so they only have Svenskeren and Kasing as EU players. This will most likely be their final roster.
1: LCS hasn't started yet, IEM doesn't have those rules (I think).
2: Bjerg has lived in NA for 24 of the last 36 months. That qualifies him as an NA citizen for Riot. XiaoWeiXiao also was able to count as NA due to this clause.
I believe that's only true after the fact
It's like this. Murder is legal today. Starting tomorrow, it's not. You can't get charged for murder if you murdered someone prior to today.
Apparently Riot built a backdoor into its regional policies by allowing foreign players switch regions after a fairly short period of time. Fairly shortly we should have enough region switched players to have all EU or KR teams in NA.
The only EU players were Svenskeren and Kasing. Doublelift, Hauntzer and Bjergsen and all NA players.
