Give me undeniable proof that something is not asian otherwise just shut up about it. I have seen too much useless discussion about it already.

Yup, in his interview he stated that he rarely ever played on EU, servers...
All d time it was JP/SG servers... Coz him living in the eastern Most part of Russia.... And ig its basic Geography knowledge dat Russia is a Eurasian continent...
So yup Something has always been part of Asian Valo scene...

U could have claimed Deffo if he would have stomped every1 in Apac thru CN qualifiers... Coz obv he play on EU server, played EMEA tournaments so dat pretty much sums it up

Objective take here: He is 100% Asian, that is where he is from geographically. He has grown playing on APAC servers and has been formed there which makes him an APAC talent.

That being said, being asiatic ≠ being from APAC, there are plenty of parts of Asia that are not included in APAC such as the Middle East, China, or indeed, Far East Russia. In eyes of Riot he is an EMEA player, and here in the confirmation by the PRX CEO if people still wanna argue that https://twitter.com/nikhathi/status/1638512166063177731?s=46&t=Ktss9BR_J0-IBa79hzZ4iA

Conclusion: Geographically from the Asian part that belongs to EMEA, therefore, APAC talent but EMEA player.

I think the fact alot of people use "EMEA" and "EU" interchangeably doesn't help.

Something and other East russian players sorta fall into the cracks of esports due to ping issues and regional issues.

Exactly. Americas does kinda equal to Americas, but EMEA ≠ EU, and APAC ≠ Asia

I think the problem is the Russian war tbh. If that wasn't an issue I would suggest that the Russian VCL does the same than the MENA one with 2 different conferences and all of those problems would be pretty much fixed

Well that's something you gotta ask him. He is factually Asian (Anything passed the Urals is Asia)

That's good to know. But it's not a subjective opinion, it's a geographical matter. But that being said it is good to know

No it's a very different case. Something is not a player who has moved to another region. it's just that Far East Russia is very complex area. #12 is the actual explanation if you wanna read it. Riot does probably need to fix it somehow but as of now he is an import

It depends where he was born. If he was born on the East of the Ural Mountains he would be Asian, and if he was born on the West of the Ural Mountains he would be European
