I think SEA change is good

i'm open to discussion but I feel like this creates a much more exciting league with better match ups and rivalry's. Because bffr for a minute NOBODY wants to see a team like Naos, full sense or boom just dominant like 4 free agent teams in a split. It also makes it so much easier for casual viewers to keep with APAC as a whole (promising new talent and potential ascension winners)

fr is good for the viewership, is bad when SEA only get 2 slot going to Ascension (but we dont know that yet)

i know riot isn't the smartest company but there's just no chance they only give sea 2 slots I'm pretty sure some random on twitter said that and everyone is going with it and freaking out 🤷‍♂️

It's good people said otherwise because we thought sea would get less ascension slots but jake sin confirmed sea will have more than others

People are mad because they think SEA might only get two slots in Ascension, even though there are a bunch of strong teams there (which they think is unfair). But Rito hasn't said for sure how they're splitting up the slots, and VLR's being reactionary as usual...

It will make a lot of people lose their jobs and orgs leave. But it was gonna happen naturally . This was 1000% necessary and I hope they do it in EMEA aswell

I'd actually love to see this in emea bc I genuinely have NO clue what's happening in the tier 2 scene over there

it's acceptable only if the whole VCL is played on LAN (how the fk ID teams gonna play against HKTW teams) and we get at least half of the ascension tournament slots (last year it was 6/10)

it is understandable since most of the SEA challenger region are not fulfilled by pro team, there are bunch of pug team participating in the league

read last sentence what jake sin said on his twit :

in order to ensure that this new league is relevant in all of our SEA regions, we are going to ensure diverse regional representation, provide broadcast in multiple major languages, and strive to host roadshows in different countries around SEA. Also given its larger playerbase and greater number of active teams, it will also be the largest Challenger league in APAC, with the most number of teams and most slots in Ascension.

they gonna do roadshows host in different countries around SEA, probally jakarta/Manila/singapore/Bangkok etc.

i dont mind the consolidation and I do think that this makes inter-country rivalries more exciting. What I don't like is the entire SEA region being merged into 1 VCL. SEA deserves atleast 2 VCLs.

Remember the top 4 of Ascension 2023 We're BOOM, NAOS, SCARZ, and BLEED. 3/4 of them are SEA teams. This change doesnt do the SEA region justice.

ye true, tbh i dont wanna see BOOM just fighting againt random team, DIS, Le capraud, HERO and just dominate them is so boring

straight top 2 from each country to BIG League is good

ye, I guess Riot thinks region rivalry will boost up viewership

can I ask how you would split the regions then and slot distribution for ascension ? genuinely curious

Maritime and Mainland
Maritime: Philippines, Indonesia, MYSG or maybe just SG
Mainland: Thailand, Vietnam, HKTW, and maybe MY if we separate them from SG

as for slot distribution depends on how riot wants it but maybe 2 for each region

yea if they give SEA only 2 slot for ascension, i think they r absolutely moron :)

i'm all for it if SEA got 4-6 slots for ascension and 1 each for other region.

The rivalry between regions would be so strong and fun to have. Facing each other just once a year is fucking criminal

They will have more but probably not that many more. That being said it’s kinda pointless, if you placed top6 in your league you’re not winning ascension

Mortadelo [#21]

well they have 6 countries in there at least get 4.

bearmans [#22]

well they have 6 countries in there at least get 4.

That’s probably more realistic

they should give 4 slots for the sea league, 6 is a bit too much because there's a low chance the 5-6 team make franchise anyway

ok lest see is true or not

but why do they only reveal half of the information, just report the info in full or if not ready yet dont announce it. the fuck

I think riot will give atleast 4 slot for SEA, you SEA guys don't need to worry about it to much and rito knows it very well that their viewership will be rekted up if they give only 2 slots for SEA 💀

All these 6 teams clears 1 team from South Asia

and?
no one is talking about SA tho we all know one of the teams from sea league will make franchise anyway because other t2 regions are shit
