Hello all,
If you wonder how many team they are in every Premier contenders region and their relation with T2 region, I made stat for this (At the end of the 3rd map, after 4th map some region may have a little bit more team). To me it's an interesting stat because it gives us some demographics data. Usually it's 1 server = 1 premier league = T2 region, but they are some exceptions :
- Keep in mind NA is split in East and West giving us more precision on the data.
- Spain, Portugal and Italia are mixed in only in one premier region (Because they are only 1 serv), but we can make some research to guess exactly wish team is from what region (Flag of player on tracker, vlr, structure etc).
- For Premier Asia it is even harder, it regroups 6 T2 league and they are a lot of teams in the ladder, it was a lot of work to figure out where does come from every team and in wish T2 scene they will go if they win. (Not all of them is 100% sure)
MENA (Keep in mind that all those servers are close from each other, and in Europe almost everyone speak english meaning they are a lot of team that didn't hire player based on country or native language and those team tend to play in a more central server like Frankfurt for exemple, this is why this stats are way less interesting than stat in pacific and americas) :
- North (London/Stockholm) : 58
- East (Warsaw) : 40
- DACH (Frankfurt) : 75
- FR (Paris) : 59
- ME (Bahrain) : 17
- TR (Istanbul) : 26
- IBIT-ES (Madrid) : 22
- IBIT-PT (Madrid) : 5
- IBIT-IT (Madrid) : 2 (Keep in mind that Madrid isn't the closest server from Italia, wish mean Italian team might prefer to play in DASH or France, Italia is placed here probably because 1 year ago Italia was still a part of IBIT region that is now dissolved, and Italia dosn't have a server yet.)
Americas :
- BR (São Paulo) : 47
- LAS (Santiago/"Bogotá") : 38 (It's kinda weird, in T2, Columbia is part of LAN, not LAS, but wiki frame it in LAS so maybe it's a typo, I have find Columbian and Venezuelan team in LAN but not in LAS)
- LAN (Mexico City/Miami/Chicago) : 53 (T2 LAN region start from Mexico and end in Ecuador/Columbia)
- NAE (Ashburn/Atlanta/Dallas/Chicago ): 110
- NAW (Oregon/California/Dallas/Chicago ) : 41
APAC :
- KR (Seoul) : 36
- JP (Tokyo) : 60
- OCE (Sydney) : 47
- SA (Mumbai) : 50
- Asia-TWHK (Hong Kong/Singapore) : 13
- Asia-VN (Singapore/Hong Kong) : 12 (1 of team is Cambodian, for geographical region and cultural region, they will probably go in VN if they win)
- Asia-TH (Singapore/Hong Kong) : 29 (Lot of team that I was only 80% sure ended classified in Thailand, so maybe the number is a little bit more overestimated, but I think it's because Thai tend to put less their flag in tracker)
- Asia-PH (Singapore/Hong Kong) : 16 (Easiest part to do, almost all of them have their flag in Tracker)
- Asia-ID (Singapore/Hong Kong) : 21 (Not a lot of problems here)
- Asia-MYSG (Singapore/Hong Kong) : 21 (MYSG is probably the default T2 region for any team that will speak english but not their native language, because English is endemic in Singapore (96%), 19 team are really from MYSG, 1 team got players from Myanmar but the structure is from Singapore)
- Asia-???? : 5 (4 team are from Mongolia, I have no idea where Mongolian player will play, and that also raise the question of eastern Russian player, for ping reason they can't really play on EMEA server maybe Singapore is the best choice because almost everyone speak English, but it's really far, another option would be to play in Japan since a lot of eastern russian player plays in Japan but the main problem is that Japan isn't part of Premier server, and I'm not sure Riot can transfer them. For the last team [NDG] I wasn't able to have an enough level of confidence to class them somewhere, I suspect them to be Korean, not sure if they missclicked or if Riot can move them in case they win, or if they will have to play in Taiwan or Singapoure)
Because Premier Asia is a huge mess I think i'll do a post about where did I locate every team in every T2 scene so if I have mistake people could correct me (Will probably do that next week, with a list of team that are already qualified)
