Impact not playing after EU region has locked in.

This makes me sad because I chose Impact over Gamsu because I have faith in NRG this split. However now we will see Cris play one game and Impact the other. EU is already locked in now by the time FLCS-players get this message. So either I have to play someone from NA region which will result in me losing Impact because my league mates will steal him if I swap him for an example Kfo which is from NA and is a free agent or I have to play one game less with him and lose important points. If I would've known this before we locked in EU it wouldn't have been a problem because I have Gamsu one my bench (which scored a big amount of points). Now I think those of us with NRG players should be able to swap their sub toplaner or a free agent top from whatever region for this week only so we get the same chance as everyone else.

It's debatable, but imo it's not Riot's fault. Riot has (and it was very widely talked about, since the NRG roster was completely revamped) the 3/5 Rule - you have to retain 3 out of the original 5 players and play at least 1 game with them if you buy out an LCS Spot. The only original players left - apart from Konkwon - were Cris and Shrimp, so they necessarily had to replace Impact and Moon. Players probably should've read up on that rule, tbh. Maybe it wouldn't have caused as much confusion. I'm also one of them - I had Moon as my starting Jungler, rip. :(
