hey vlr

I thought I'd just drop a few comments on the FURIA situation

I'd say having a 10 man roster is actually really important in cases such as visa issues or other stuff, the roster should consist of 5 players who already have a visa for the US or is actually living there, while the 5 players (the starters) will be waiting for their visa to get approved, bc I think this might not last for only 1 match in kickoff, might be the entire Kickoff event and evem Split 1 if things go very wrong

I also personally want VCT Americas to be hosted in Canada instead of the USA......... well this is my opinion after all, and it might not be considered until 2027 or beyond.....

You do know that 10 players ain't cheap right?

Personally, I think they're better off staying at US, Trudeau just resigned and Poilievre is llikely to be elected, policy will certainly change.

Also changing venue costs a lot of money.

LA, Berlin, Seoul, and Shanghai have become league's hub cities because they are Riot's regional bases. LA in particular is home to Riot's headquarters and the Riot arena is right next door.

Popularity and infrastructure aren't the only factors in the choice: Riot's games are much more popular in France and Spain than in Germany, but the LEC has been held in Berlin for over a decade.
