Why in LOL and valorant

do many koreans go to chinese and japanese team?
LOL i kinda get it cus koreans are just better, but thats not really the case in valorant.

I can't speak for LOL, but I know in Val, the salaries were way higher in Japan compared to Korea. Most of the talent in these two regions is highly dense at the top. Leaving a lot of space for KR players.

Do the math.

South Korea
1,8tri USD gdp
51,7mi pop

Japan
4,9tri USD gdp
125,7mi pop

Who is more likely to import?

Salary higher and less competitive in Japan compared to korea. also easier to qualify for worlds in jpn than Korea.

ironic considering Korean teams are directly sponsored by multiple megacorporations
