China franchised?

Two teams from China just got invited to sao paulo, maybe they had this in plan because idk how tf they would make brackets with only 30 teams.. Either way it said they only got "invited" to the event, this could be a sign that they'll be franchised later but that would also be unlikely as it completely disrupts their format (more teams from pacific seems pretty unfair for other regions), but this would also mean a huge L for china region which looks pretty promising. Thoughts? or who cars ig
