I would point out in the past newly formed regiments (at least this new) have never been allowed to play in any of these leagues/events really, NWL, EIC, RGT, RGL, etc. So regardless of the situation that caused it to form I don't really think that should change the outcome of a topic we've seen many times in the past, even if the circumstances are different.
I think you'd be more than optimistic to expect the regiment to be accepted but of course this is ultimately the RGL staffs decision. But in the past I've seen many 'new' regiments rejected form this sort of event/league.
Also further to this regarding the format as I understand it, there will only be seven
regiments that will be eligible to play per divisions with the most prestigious and best regiments being selected into Division 1, seven regiments per division means a lot more competitiveness and not many complete stomps will be happening. Last I spoke to to Tardet his mind was set upon 15thYR, 45thN, 13e, 71st, 55th, 92nd and 96y featuring in the first division - these are the best and most consistent prestigious competitive regiments at the moment and have been for the past 6 months with 92nd, 45thN 15thYR, 96y being competitive for longer.
With the introduction of the 65th, which I dont even think is a regiment at this point, a regiment in Division 1 would have to be replaced to accommodate them playing in Division 1 which is their aim. What would be deeply unfair is if weaker regiments in Division 1 such as 96y or even 55th be replaced in favour of the 65th. Of course I think the best regiments should be playing in the top tiers of RGL but at the end of the day who is to say that, the 55th and especially the 96y have had a long history in competitive NW with the same consistent leadership at the top for over a year now in the 55th with Rayleigh, Queenoil and Anthony at the top, whilst Desant and Wursti are involved and have been involved at the 96y for now over 2/3 years. Both 55th and 96y have shown respectable performances both in MRGL and EIC, perhaps not top 3 placement material but definitely deserving a spot in the top 7 for RGL.
As I see it just because 96y and 55th have been weakened and things have changed rather drastically in both regiments, as long as the leadership at the top remains the same, the regiment and what it stands for won't change. When staple regiments like 55th and 96y last this long then there are bound to be issues that pop up in these regiments of course but now does this mean that either regiment ought to be replaced by 65th? Of course not - in my opinion it would be deeply unfair to not only the leaders but also the regiment as a whole and what they stand for.
Maybe let's not have a repeat of RGT S10, from what I remember it was the same people causing a fuss then that are causing a fuss now.
Spoiler
btw RGT S10 collapsed because of exactly this kind of poor behaviour
