We all know why they got really got their own region. But did they ever give an official response for why they got their own region, like in a Q&A or something.

merciless-pity8989-89 [#2]Considering VCT CN had higher peak viewership than all the other regions combined, i don’t think a Q&A is needed
I don't know if this is true but if it is it's obvious why. The population of China is extremely large so if something is promoted across the region, it will get more viewers because there is more people. Same thing could be done to India aswell IMO if Riot invested time into the region. Bit riskier tho and also they don't have Indian links which is why they didn't do it. Problem is the same IMO with both regions in this hypothetical, it's unfair to give an entire region their own league.

i kinda see ur point, but it’s based on player base. China alone has a player base that matches all the other regions if not exceeding. China has a very big pc gaming culture unlike india, so promoting games in india won’t yield nearly the same results even if riot had the ability to do it properly.
Also Tencent, the parent company is a chinese company

Yea ik that's why I said it's riskier to do it in India but the reason China has such a big playerbase is because there has been so much of an investment into its gaming scene from big devs like epic games and riot. India would probably not have as much of a scene if it was invested in the same way that China was but it would still be massive compared to the other regions. The decision makes sense from the business perspective but it is against the spirit of a competitive scene In my opinion, however, that obviously doesn't matter. I made this thread because I was curious if Riot ever responded to the criticism that I had seen against the scene officially, but it seems people either don't know or they haven't.

Ik, that was most likely one of the factors that caused Riot to create the scene. Obviously they won't say that as their official reason though so I was wondering if they had an official statement.
