It's literally the first year of VCT man, things take time. As far as I can see the viewership in South Asia is growing, and the partners Nodwin were only announced a few months ago for the VCC circuit.
By 2022, both the Indian sub-continent and China will be more integrated into the VCT circuit, if that's even what they will still call it. The reason both these massive regions were "left behind" has nothing to do with racism, exclusion or what not, it's just the nature of doing business in these two regions, you need government support and/or joint ventures to even begin operating legally.
Chill.
Aidan [#5]China has a recent history of success in esports while to my knowledge South Asia has none of this success

Esports opportunity is much different in the 2 countries. In India, it was all ruined by forsaken, and the only good esport seen out of india is BGMI (PUBGM)

MilanTheMyth [#20]PUBG LUL that's not real esports bro most other countries laugh at that
Exactly, proves my point even more.
cruZer [#19]like legit south asia didnt get to represent in any lans really deserved more slots considering the amount of viewers they pull in and the talent like skrossi.
Riot set a lot of these slots months ago, they will make adjustments next year given what they learn from this. Don't worry I'm sure SA will get direct slots to major events next year
hekzy [#2]You'll get more slots once China get their own champions slots.
Nvm change it to #SAinChampions
NewEulogy [#24]Riot set a lot of these slots months ago, they will make adjustments next year given what they learn from this. Don't worry I'm sure SA will get direct slots to major events next year
True. Riot should definitely take this opportunity to have a look into all the regions and hopefully we can have Challengers like events instead of VCC only so that more teams can make it and face other international teams

^^^ what I've been saying since like march. They can't add them in the middle if they didn't add them in the start anyways as well. So this is the best we can get. And hopefully it'll be better next year.
edtheking12 [#23]valorant is owned by tencent dumbass
Ik that dipshit, chinese govt. has 2 categories for tech companies need to have and nice to have, tencent falls under nice to have, national newspapers in china owned by the govt. are posting shit like gaming is opium, etc. which is why investment for gaming has decreased costing gaming industry 40 billion in china, stfu before knowing the full story
Paracosm [#25]Nvm change it to #SAinChampions
That will only happen if China gets 3 Champion slots.
Asphyxia [#27]lmfao people are downvoting this. This is a joke guys. It's meant to be sarcastic...

MilanTheMyth [#31]That will only happen if China gets 3 Champion slots.
If we ask for champions they will compensate with lcq, its big brain plays
