Pacific League location

Wouldn't it have been better if it was held somewhere in JP since the viewership and playerbase there is insane? Though i guess it has something to do with visa + riot connections

More to do with the studio, people behind the scenes for production already working there. Moving players is easier than production

yes but ur not riot games

comparing lck to valorant korea hmmmm

visa and korea has better infastructure

Perma [#8]

comparing lck to valorant korea hmmmm

they literally use the old LCK studio.....
edit: its almost like they have been planning this for a long time

Riot thinks LCK is more accommodable than LJL
Riot Korea probably can use esports studios there

Korea, by far, has the best infrastructure to support an offline league with a proven record by Riot's standards. Either they use the Sangnam Colosseum where Challengers Korea had their matches or potentially move to LoL Park where the current LCK is held and First Strike was done there.

VALORANT wont be as popular as league in KR but its still a way better place to live & RIOT has HQ in KR

and its kinda hard to live in japan

I saw so many people still keeps talking about JP Visa issue
Our government already changed covid policy about tourists/short term workers
In October they will stop limiting foreign entrants number so things will go way easier in next year

We had to use stupid thundersticks in JP Final for covid policy but finally we can shout again in some event too

I know I am delusioinal Japanese fan but I still want league in Tokyo
But Riot already has facility in KR and hired good ENG casters for english channel
so we had to raise viewership for only 2 JP teams

nobody watch Valorant in Korea, while LOL is pretty much national sports for them

fr?

It's probably more convenient for Riot. They should already have facilities and resources in Korea. I'm sure there are many reasons.

I watched you change your flair to T1, then I see you change your flag to Korea lmao. Welcome to SK I guess.

Saya goes back to T1 ( copium) = T1 becomes the greatest org/team in both league and Valo = GEE GEE
