Region Representation

With all the discussion about SA receiving 1 slot at the Asia LCQ (I agree that it should be 2)
I'm wondering how you guys feel riot should give slots. Here are some of the factors I see as important:

1) Playerbase (obviously a big player base should get more representation) also: playerbase breakdown
2) Viewership(some regions have big fanbases and I think that viewership should always be a factor in an esport)
3) Skill (some regions are really good despite worse 1 and 2 stats than other regions and we want competitions to reflect the best the world has to offer)
4) Politics (sometimes to get a region to grow or just to keep it alive, you give it slots which is important for the game to succeed also mixes w/ 1 and 2 )

Obviously slots should be a combo of these factors but riot seems to not be consistent.

Korea receiving slots reflects 3 and 4 (they have a relatively small player base)
Japan's slots reflects 2 and 4 (good viewership, low competition, room to grow)
NA and EMEA reflect 1, 2, and 3
China reflects 4

I think Riot should focus on making sure that factors 1 and 3 are the most important because right now it seems that they put politics(4) above all else. What do yall think?

vct 2022 will probably take into consideration this stuff

to grow the game more u should give growing market like india equal or more chance than a saturated market like korea and japan.

They shouldn't completely focus on one thing. All of these are great reasons to invest in a country.

I personally think it should be by Skill and Viewership. Because even if the playerbase is large. If they're shiot. Don't give them 5 slots. And the viewership also matters bc money lmfao.

But Politics is def what they should actually mainly focus on at the moment because the game is still growing. And if it can grow in India and China. This game could be the biggest FPS game of all time. To become mainstream in India, China, EU, KR, NA, and BR. Is a ridiculous achievement. And that should be the goal at the moment.
