This change will affect VG’s chances of getting an invite to the Manila Major or its regional qualifiers as they have made the roster change after the deadline of the roster lock (March 27, 2016).
As per rule of Valve, any team that has made any roster changes after the roster lock deadline will forfeit their chances of getting an invite. VG will have to play in the Chinese Open Qualifiers in order to get a slot for the regional qualifiers.
