Cloud9 supports

I was wondering what the official ruling is, for fantasy purposes, on cloud9 supports as well as other teams who flex members in between games. If they sub out a member for a game does his score get multiplied or does he receive only one game worth of points. On the flip side if someone comes in for game 2 and 3 do they then get those games worth of points since the scoring says first two games against each opponent. If a team gets 2-0 and has members play one of each game how does that factor in on the scoring. Someone familiar with scoring in fantasy, preferably riot, please respond. I know what makes sense but I'm looking for clarification.

If a player in your starting lineup is subbed in/out and only plays 1 game in a First 2 format, they get the points for the game that they played. There's no multiplying to account for lost games. The same is true for if they are subbed out last minute and play no games - they get no points.

Also, currently, if you are using the First 2 format, and a player plays only game 2 and 3, they get the points for both games (Eg: BunnyFuFu vs FOX in week 1). The How To Play rules state 'Only the first two games in each match are worth fantasy points.'. It doesn't state whether it's the first 2 games that a player plays, or the first 2 games that the team plays, but the wording implies that it focuses on the team rather than the player. So I suspect that this current behaviour is a bug, but I'm also waiting on clarification on this in another discussion.
