VCT Korea

At this point, I think we need vct korea. I think it’s just too boring to see vct pacific packed with Korean teams. Is it just me?

From a business side this would be a poor move, therefore it will never happen.

VCT Korea incoming.
2026 VCT: 5 Korean Teams

I get your vibe, but financially, it would make things more complicated to have a new dedicated region - more teams that you need to funnel into the franchised program so it both costs more for orgs and RIOT will be investing into this - the existing Tier 1 Korean teams will have a huge dominance on the scene.

Also, in my opinion, it's better for these other Asian countries to experience playing against well-invested and seasoned orgs so that they can continue to push themselves to be better. It's the nature of competition. Korean teams are not invincible - PRX started having DRX's number from 2023 until Stage 2 2024 which is pretty good. GENG and T1 for a while has kind of been meandering around the mid-tier quality despite being some of the most decorated and successful organisations in all of eSports. But these teams are constantly stepping up their drive and passion to win just like every other team. By proxy, every other team will push themselves to try and overtake their position.

All-in-all, every other team is gonna catch up to exceed Korean teams someday. There is promise in Thai and Indonesian Valorant with players like Primmie, Kush and the Tier 2 prospects following in the academy.

Something like LCK?? But Korea used to be east asia with Japan idk why they changed
