I am a pacific guy, I can agree to the fact that tho the matches at this year champs were fire but the production failed to create the necessary hype, and honestly I wouldn't mind if in the future events are mostly at EMEA until the production at Pacific gets right, I remembered the last year champs at LA and the hype was so fire including the gf opening ceremony, this year's opening ceremony was meh and the crowds except the ones at the big venue was also kinda meh, the EMEA crowds are naturally better ( Asians have a culture of like presenting yourself respectfully in public places that's why the crowds don't do much shit except the cheering and clapping part) even Jake sin has mentioned Pacific Haas lower budget for hosting internationals in comparison to EMEA
( PS I even don't mind the night timings as it works better for me as I can get work done during the day and then watch vct with a sense of relaxation unlike when matches are in afternoon and so not much work gets done during the day)
