Valve adjust rules for VRS region swaps
Valve have adjusted the CS Major Supplemental Rulebook after several organizations made changes from the Europe to the Asia VRS to increase their chances of making the Major.

"A roster is only eligible for a Regional Assignment if they did not appear in any other region's VRS list in the preceding three calendar months," the new addition to the rulebook reads.
A thing to note is that the change only counts for the Major invites, meaning teams are still eligible for invites for events outside of the Major circuit.
When asked by HLTV for comment, Valve clarified that the change will take effect for the Singapore Major. They also confirmed that the three-month period will begin with Valve’s official monthly update, which is released on the first Monday of each month.
BC.Game 's signing of Tyson "asap" Paterson was the most notable switch, while WW and Sashi were also among teams to make a last-gasp shot at the Major. The update means that the game developer rendered their changes pointless, however.
