this reply got so many - 's for no reason, its literally so true, asia is constantly given a billion slots and they NEVER do shit with it, SA has won, NA has won, EU has won, and they're all constantly contending to win, meanwhile Asia has had one finals appearance ONCE that shouldn't have even happened... yall stay coping.

being ‘cool’ doesnt make a team eligible to participate in an international tournament
prx got grouped that tournament
edg recently lost to fpx
wayyy better if we just do four from each region because this means that even IF americas win lockin and loud, nrg, lev and 100t qualify to tokyo, teams such as sen and C9 will miss out.
unfortunately sen and C9 would literally 26-5 edg and fpx
If riot reallly wants money and wants to include china, just add them to pacific league

If the chinese player base explodes to even 1/4th of the size as league's player-base, it'll quickly make no sense to have them be part of APAC. So they've given them their own franchise league and hoping valorant does well in china. Their teams might suck atm, but they'll catch up eventually. Makes sense imo.

Will they really improve only going against themself? They have played for last year only against china teams since champions but i dont really see them improving, atleast now sea teams can get regular matches against jp and kr teams but what about china?

Who says they'll only be playing against themselves? They'll literally have all the APAC league teams in seoul and korean teams. China/Korean teams scrim each other all the time in the league scene. I expect nothing to be different in valorant.

Yinsu's YT channel has an interview with Dubstep from Team Secret, he said they scrim with people in the region including China, so there's some exposuee. I guess China still needs a bit more time to develop their playstyle well enough to fight on the international stage.

I’m not sure about this. I know they are trying to get the level of competition in China up to the rest of the world, but this could end up being bad. They could also be trying to get Chinese people to watch Val esports (if they can, I don’t know the restrictions in china). I think it’s a good idea but they are being a little to aggressive with it.
