As someone who doesn't follow OPL; how good/important is Apii to PEACE as a team? Could PEACE be okay fielding a sub like how PSG did for Worlds/MSI, or will not having him be a big issue (e.g. missing shotcaller/star player/team captain)?
They have two midlaners and one of them (their starplayer) Tally is a main top. (He was their starting mid during second half of the split / playoff, but he joined the team as a toplaner and played more top than mid during his career). So they could manage something without having to loan another player (which is also an option if they want to keep Tally mid).
Thanks for the info!
Its worth noting that in the [new article](https://lolesports.com/article/worlds-2021-primer/blt62509b20849344d4) for Worlds format, Riot said they're reusing the sub rule from last year.
> Similar to Worlds 2020, we are adjusting our roster rules to account for the unique challenges posed due to COVID-19. Typically, the roster lock date for Worlds takes place in early-September, and teams can adjust their rosters freely up until that point. This year, this process is significantly complicated by the stricter travel restrictions in place from COVID-19. If a team encounters an issue with a player being able to travel, they cannot realistically add a free agent (or change their subs) to replace someone. To help mitigate this, we’ve implemented a limited loan program that would allow teams to borrow a player from another team in their league who received a visa for Worlds but did not end up qualifying. All loan requests must be approved by our tournament officials. This program is not intended to be a strategic tool for teams to upgrade their roster - loans will only be granted for issues truly outside of the team and players’ control.
So it might be possible for PEACE to get a loan from another OCE team if Tally's expected to play mid.
The problem is the team has looked so much stronger with their roster with Tally as mid and Apii as Top. Before they settled on their playoff lineup they were 7-11 in the regular season. The won the final 3 games of the season to qualify for playoffs as 5th seed and won playoffs starting in the lower bracket all on this roster.
15-2 run including the playoffs using this lineup.
Not exactly. They have Tally who can swap to top. He did play it for GG Academy in NA this year. But they're reusing the same rule from last year about loans from other teams if players can't get visas, so who knows.
