No Russian, no Korean, no Chinese national teams

Trying to pick certain players, overruling country's manager decisions for media revenue

Sounds kinda mickey to me.

it depends on the game
for 1v1 games (sf6, Fatal Fury), Russians are allowed to play under a neutral flag
for team games (valorant, cs2), Russians are not allowed to play

Very unethical tourney, there are players who are just not going to attend because of that

i think its more of an event to see your country represented which i feel like is a good idea (obviously ethical problems) but idk if anyone considered it to be on the same level of a masters

#15

Korea will end up competing once somebody in upper management realises the whole thing loses legitimacy without one of the most important countries attending. The Saudis will simply back down

there is no league cup without korea (or china), would be completely and utterly pointless. you cant run a world cup without the biggest esport

They decided not to play because they didn't like that the ENC had say on the teams which tbh is valid

Insane work that you don't see a Russian, Korean or Chinese roster. Also, the fact that the organisation has a say on the teams and other nonsense is ridiculous. It would be neat if someone else could take over the concept, but no one has money like the Saudis to fund these extravagant esports concept tournaments.
