1.2.2. Each Team will be required to have a minimum of three (3) LTRs and three (3) EMEA Residents on their starting roster at all times during any Challengers Season.

1.2.3. LTRs are defined as players who have fulfilled one or more of the following criteria:

Additionally, a split will count towards the LTR requirement for a player who has been on the roster of a Challengers Team for the majority of the split, even if the player has not been actively participating in the respective Challengers League, as long as they have not participated in any other Challengers League.

1.2.4. A Player may only claim LTR status for the Challengers region in which they are currently participating and may only be an LTR of a single Challengers region at one time. Upon joining another Challengers League, the Player will have to prove their LTR status for the respective Challengers League, otherwise they will be considered a Non-Representative.
