Community reacts: Sashi look to enter Asia VRS as Major race tightens
The pair's arrival will see Sashi switch regions from Europe to Asia, as the Danish organization says Anton "Anlelele" Huynh has Vietnamese citizenship. It's not the first time that a team has swapped regions in the final stages of a Major race.

Earlier this year, G2 and Liquid swapped Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa and Guy "NertZ" Iluz , allowing the latter team to return to an Americas core before the cut-off for the Cologne Major.
Last week, BC.Game entered Asia's qualification zone for the Singapore Major right after signing Tyson "asap" Paterson . And WW recently made headlines by signing Ermek "enzero" Kartanbaev and having Ivan "StRoGo" Shurpatov switch his nationality to Tajikistan.
Whether Sashi knew it or not, the double swap might not move the needle much on their chances. Finn "Mischief" Farrer's latest projection put their qualification chances at just 13% based on their LAN calendar.
(The Danish team appears to have since signed up for DraculaN Season 7 .) Below you can find more reactions from other community figures, including competitor teams who didn't miss the chance to take a jab at Sashi .

Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Team Liquid can stand on this line: "Earlier this year, G2 and Liquid swapped Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa and Guy "NertZ" Iluz , allowing the latter team to return to an Americas core before the cut-off for the Col…" It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.

The headline skips this: "Earlier this year, G2 and Liquid swapped Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa and Guy "NertZ" Iluz , allowing the latter team to return to an Americas core before the cut-off for the Col…" That is the reading I would argue. The rest of the card does not cancel it.
