lowkey worried about the Bangkok crowd

Not because of Bangkok itself, but because there'll likely be no home team
TLN might make a lower bracket run but I think it's pretty unlikely at this point

probably they dont mind

The crazy thing about the six teams still left in contention is that there's TALON and there's 4 Korean teams and a mixed Korean-Japanese team

Edit: oh right TALON has Koreans as well 😭

It's not that they don't mind, I'm sure they don't
but the last time we really had a home team do well was Champs 2023 tbh

I feel like one of the few advantages of having an 8 team tournament would be that even teams who don't make it too far still get a decent amount of playtime (in comparison to teams that do make it far)

They probably don't mind. But they really need to fill the venue tho. SEA T2 scene is already in not a good spot rn, and empty crowds on masters Bangkok? Yeah, Riot will leave the region asap.
