Why so many pinoy in SA

#1

capital_d_colon

There are 10 teams in SA.

And ~~now 3~~ now 4 teams have opted for having 2 pinoy players. (Orangutan, GodLike, Medal, True Rippers).
So far they make up exactly 50% of all the imported players.

is there any reason why orgs have favoured Ph players?
is it familiarity with the language ?
Is it due to the current state of ph compared to other sea regional leagues?

Pinoys are nice people and good players also prolly because most of the filipinos (from my experience) have English as their second language so the language barrier isn't a big problem with them that's why the orgs choose to go with them.

bro there's only like a couple indos who genuinely hate india in VLR, that doesn't mean the whole country hates india lmao, the real problem is that I don't think a lot of pros in indonesia speaks english.

Yeah on a real note its the language barrier, pinoys grow in an english versed country but indo doesn't

The SA orgs prefer players who can speak English and are cheap. The Philippines and Oceania lack org support at the moment so they’re willing to sign any decent contract they get.

Yeah it makes sense considering economically and language factors.
I was just surprised with how dominant the amount of ph players there were compared to other regions.
Because rn its 8 (rippers squad on liquipedia now) in the league, rnt also had 2 pinoys
