Jérome Coupez, the CEO of prominent esports agency Prodigy Agency, advised CS:GO players today to reconsider taking a substitute role for teams attending the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 17 from February to March. It seems that EPL has a rule that prohibits pros from playing in the open qualifiers for the BLAST RMR—the tournament that teams will play to qualify for the BLAST.tv Paris Major in May—to stay as a sub for EPL teams.
“Double check before accepting to being registered as a sub for EPL or before playing the RMR Open Qualifiers please, or you (and the team) might have a bad surprise,” Coupez said. The tweets of the CEO of Prodigy Agency immediately caused an uproar in the community, leading coaches and managers to wonder why ESL’s roster lock for EPL would affect events from outside of the ESL Pro Tour like the RMR for Paris Major, which is run by BLAST.
