    Statement on the ECL Division placement of team BLEGI

    Background:
    The League Administration raised concerns regarding BLEGI, a team initially signed up for the Lite division for ECL '25 Spring. Their roster consists of two former Elite Starters and four former Pro starters, which led to worries that they might be too strong for the Lite division, potentially disrupting the competitive balance. This concern stems from a similar situation in ECL '24 Spring, where Nordic Stars dominated the Lite division with a highly accomplished roster.
    Upon inquiring, BLEGI explained that they had originally intended to compete in the Pro Qualifiers. However, due to a tight schedule with the FCL and late roster changes, they were unable to complete a full roster in time for the qualifiers.

    Decision:
    To maintain the integrity of the divisions, BLEGI will be placed directly into the Pro Division as the 33rd team. This decision should be treated as a one-time exception. Moving forward, the rulebook will be reviewed to provide clearer guidelines for handling such situations in the future. Additionally, the League Administration retains the right to make final decisions regarding team placements, seedings, and potential refusals of entry, ensuring that the competitive balance of the league is upheld.
