since theres so many people talking about the allocated slots given to regions such as japan in masters, id like to give a take on what could(?) possibly be an idea for slot allocations, granted if ping isn't an issue for this
korea (i think korea has done enough to be considered a standalone region) - 2
japan - 1/2 (with the viewership japan has, i think at the minimum 1 or 2 slots should be fine)
china - 1 (with how new china is to valorant and the amount of potential china has, i think its fine if riot wants to hand out slots to china or even more than 1 for promotion)
far east (china, japan, siberia, mongolia, possibly hk/tw?, qualify into masters as a play-in) - 1/2
apac (sea, oceania) - 2/3
while i dont think this is the best of what could be done, based off what others have said (benkai for instance said china is not very good so far, along with japan) unless it can be proven otherwise that regions such as china are capable of being a standalone region, or if having this style will kill off viewership for regions like japan
id like to hear what you think though and if you think this is a bad idea or allocation, do you think the slots and regions are fine as is? or should we wait a while longer for better results before coming to a conclusion
