hypothetical 24 team distribution - thoughts?

4 NA
5 EMEA
2 BR
2 KR
2 JP
3 SEA
1 LATAM
1 OCE
1 MENA
2 CHINA
1 SOUTH ASIA

4 EMEA 1 TR (turkish teams can still participate in EMEA finals but winner goes directly to masters)

riot wouldnt want to miss out on turkish community and views

if we get at least a team from every 1 of these region, my distributions:
4 NA
5 EMEA
3 KR
2 BR
2 JP
2 LATAM
1 OCE
1 MENA
4 APAC (CHINA+SEA)

EMEA 3
NA 3
BR 1
LATAM 1
JP 1
KR 1
CN 1
SEA 1
4 teams from play-in stage

play-in: 2 slots for EMEA, 1 slot for NA, BR, LATAM, JP, KR, CN, SEA, SA, OCE, and MENA

EMEA-4
NA-3
BR-2
JP-2
KR-2
LATAM-2
SEA-2
CH-2
SA-2
OCE-2
MENA-1
Thoughts?

4 APAC (CHINA+SEA)

I would merge KR and JP and give them 4 spots because I don't think with JP performances they are worthy of having 2 spots to themselves. Maybe give the other spot to EMEA considering how big the pool of teams are or another region that hasn't been able to prove themselves yet.

Would reformat to:
EMEA = 5
NA = 4
KR = 3
JP = 2
BR = 2
SEA = 2
CH = 2
OCE = 2
LATAM = 1
SA = 1

3 NA
4 EMEA
2 BR
2 KR
2 JP
3 SEA
1 LATAM
1 OCE
1 MENA
2 CHINA
2 SOUTH ASIA
1 reserved for the previous champion's region

they wont merge APAC. riot isnt that dumb

EU/CIS/TR - 5
MENA - 1
APAC north - 4 (Offline challenger playoffs, like KR challengers)
APAC south - 4 (Offline challenger playoffs)
NA - 4
LATAM/BR - 5 (Offline challengers playoffs, like LATAM playoffs)
Region of winner of previous masters/champions - +1

Breakdown of subregions of the regions:

• APAC north:
  1. China
  2. Japan
  3. Korea
• APAC south:
  1. SA (Mumbai circuit)
  2. TH/MY/SG/ID (Singapore circuit)
  3. VT/HK/TW/PH (Hong Kong circuit)
  4. OCE (Sydney circuit)
• LATAM/BR:
  1. LAN
  2. LAS
  3. BR
• EU/CIS/TR:
  1. EU
  2. CIS
  3. TR

Ideally I'll want MENA to compete in EMEA playoffs and give EMEA 6 slots but idk how strong they are. I've tried to keep the distribution more or less proportional to the current distribution of slots to regions.

23- NA
1- EMEA

NA would still win the whole thing and get 23rd to 1st
