LCQ Lans??

If LCQ isn't on lan, I will genuinely be livid. I'm not talking about any region in particular, I'm talking about 3.

-APAC
-EMEA
-NA

Korea is already on Lan, Japan did top 4 on lan of S2, and Brazil / LATAM also did stuff on lan (to my knowledge). To send the 3 best teams from LCQ in 3 of the major regions (major regions are ones that send 2+ teams to masters, minor send only one, Brazil / LATAM are combined into a major region in this conversation. Anyways...) from an online tournament instead of on LAN is terrible. Of course, this does hold caveats. Obviously, EMEA has the thing, and it would most likely cause trouble for FPX and M3C. I'm not knowledgeable about Asian travel ability, but for the APAC and East Asia LCQ has sooooo many countries involved : China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippians, Vietnam and Taiwan. So, those two have valid excuses as to why they couldn't do an LCQ. Where there is absolutely no excuse is NA. THEY TRAVEL TO BOOTCAMPS IN TEXAS LIKE 4 BLOCKS FROM EACHOTHER. No player has an excuse and no org has a valid reason not to organize the fucking LCQ as a lan. Riot doing it online just allows problems in the region where there is absolutely no reason not to. Holy fuck, they can make it a damn event. They can easily get 5k+ individuals to show up for it. Anyways, that's it. Any individuals from east Asia or the wider Asian pacific area with knowledge of their travel laws, please let me know the viability of cross country travel and any good places for an LCQ to be held. As for EMEA, yall have a great excuse and until Visa's become viable for travel out of Russia, simple to make it easier on (obviously) suygetsu, shao, and all the M3C guys. NA LCQ better exist on Lan with a crowd. All of those fuckers are going to be bootcamping in Texas, just hold it there with all the team amenities or throw it in LA like the basic place it is.

TL ; DR - would love an EMEA lcq for how good the play would be, an East Asia or APAC LCQ on Lan would also be cool - and slightly more viable - but the large amounts of countries give me doubts, NA LCQ better be in Austin, Texas with tickets going on sale Augusts 5th.

Just my opinions btw. Also my Major vs Minor region take is definitive.

there is no trouble for EMEA, just host the lan in Istambul and there will be no visa issues! Russians can easily get visas for Istambul

I'm a stupid north American. Good to know there is viability for a LAN location. It also makes sense for Istanbul to hold LCQ cause Riot can use it as an electronic test for Champs.

BTW started the post thinking APAC would contain the East Asia teams. That's a separate LCQ. East Asia is in italics, APAC is in bold. Also, because of Brazil / LATAM lan stuffs, I'm gonna assume they'll have a LAN - the other regions just have a question mark.

Last LCQ in NA was supposed to be Lan. Even if they don't have a crowd (which there is definitely a market for), an LCQ in Lan is necessary so FaZe can win while having Supaman, god of power outages.
