At Madrid nobody from China looked even remotely decent, at Shanghai FPX looked excellent. EDG have gone deep before, the region has the talent and is starting to develop more and more players and bring in experienced players and personnel from other leagues like RB, Autumn, Anaks, etc. They will most definately get over the hump eventually, even if takes them as long or longer than it did for APAC.
It may develop but the current pool of Chinese players i see no team winning, top3 def yes. Some new Chinese players that are completely unheard of may change this in 1-2 years, But China is not the first choice for any t1 pro unless he knows mandarin or no offers in other league, highly doubtful they make a winning roster out of okay Ish Chinese players & below average coaches in 2 years.
Autumn is big exception he was less known to rest of apac, Chinese scouts picked him after good performance in south asian league. Korean players will get easily bought by Korean org if they make good international runs making it hard to retain the import for a long term project
