Can you hide Teemo directly from the Champion Zone, or do you need to first move it to hand?

Ruling: You can hide Teemo directly from the Champion Zone without needing to move it to hand first.

Nuances:

  • The ruling was not always this way; previously the rules only allowed hiding from hand, requiring players to pay energy to move Teemo to hand first before hiding
  • A Chinese FAQ was the first indication of the rule change allowing direct hiding from Champion Zone
  • The current rules explicitly allow hiding directly from the Champion Zone
