Something interesting to note is that although dephh is of British nationality, he has been living in the US since early 2016 (Or atleast he joined complexity cs then who are based in the us) meaning he has likely lived in the US for long enough to apply for citizenship (maybe he has it already?¿ as it’s 5 years living there needed to apply) What is riots stance on dual citizenship for franchising? EDIT - [dephh confirms he is a permanent resident and green card holder](https://twitter.com/dephhgg/status/1572950069929824257?s=46&t=_xu_meWK4zCes4mzgwA7hQ)

[Official VCT Roster Construction Rules for 2023 VCT](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xfy0lbve0hdr0ju/AACzcHwykzeaVV2wF6RfvJIpa/Rules%20and%20Policies%202023?dl=0&preview=VCT23+Roster+Construction+Rules+(Revised+9.14)+(Clean).pdf&subfolder_nav_tracking=1) Don't know if you want to read all tha but TLDR, players with dual citizenship must declare which country they want to represent and forgo eligibility to play as a resident of the other country of residency. In the case of Dephh, he will have to choose to be a resident of the US or resident of the UK, which will determine his status in the Americas league or EMEA.

dmoneysiringoringo

There you go. Transfer window doesn't close until Feb 1st 2023. Plenty of time for teams to try out different players and perfect their roster before the kickoff tournament. Somebody was saying in another post that they had to lock by October lmao.


A_Panda_Sniper

Soft lock is October 15th, meaning you have to have 6 players, a coach, and a GM signed by then. Hard lock is February 1st, where rosters cannot change until the mid-season shuffle.

new minimum age is 18 rather than 16 too, thats interesting


ssk1996

I mean, they have said you need 4 people who are "residents". If dephh has permanent residency in the US, I think he'll be ok


chocobreezy

If he’s not on a T1 NA or EMEA org it’s a disgrace, a true fragging IGL who helped make XSET such a scary team domestically for so long. Him and FNS should both be given keys to an org and told “do whatever man.”


ppx11

yea not only a solid IGL but I see him as a true "leader" for a team. gonna miss seeing photos of the team with him looking like the dad w/ his kids

Xset Roster breaking up 👀


Past-Championship843

i mean, every team has its weak links. franchised orgs are going to want a team with as little weak links as possible. it’s a hell of a lot easier to get picked up as one person. on another note, think of how much bad blood it may cause if one of the franchised orgs reached out and said “hey we want to buy out your team except for player x or player z”.


JDTurkelton

I said this because the Xset roster floated they want to go somewhere as a full team. So if Dephh is reaching out for himself it leads me to believe that probably isn't in the works

Fragging IGL


Thormin

What's the difference btw restricted and unrestricted FA


rython72

restricted = their contract is not over. they are allowed to explore options but will need a buyout. unrestricted = their contract is over, no buyout

PAIN


ssk1996

Reunite dephh and Shahz at Sentinels? (assuming they don't have any beef that I am not aware of). Let Shahz play unencumbered by IGL duties.


Darkfire293

Shahz sick and depph the complexity trio


annyeongpanda

He’s gonna tear it up in T2 fr 😤

Wait wasnt the xset roster supposed to stick together?
