Champions slot distribution

#1

JsT_

ASIA - 6 SLOTS
AMERICAS - 7 SLOTS
EMEA - 3 SLOTS
Its feels crazy that the region with the biggest player base got the least amount of slots
Thank god franchising is happening and every region will get same amount of spots

Is EMEA player base more than the whole of Americas combined?

according to the latest estimate that I could find, it seems like it might be a bit higher (like half a million people) but that was from a year ago so idk what it’s like now

Update: I tried doing my own estimate using the same methodology and these were my results:

Americas: ~3.95M
EMEA: ~5.00M
Pacific: ~4.35M
Not sure how accurate this is (i.e. does it only include people who were ranked this act?) but it seems like Pacific is growing the fastest at the moment.

Interesting statistic, I would not guess that the americas was so low.

I don't know why this is still a question, I understand your point of view, but there are probably so many things that go in to slot distribution. If EMEA was completely dominating every event like they did last Champs, then it would make sense, but this year they have fallen off, with only FPX (twice) and Fnatic (once) making it to the top 4 over 3 events.
