So how many teams would each region have? 5 or 6? Or would both have a different amount of teams

LATAM is without Brazil is it not? At least in the past it was like that, before partnership era

I think it would work best if there were 6 NA and 6 SA teams (3 BR, etc.) they are hosted separately as VCT americas and then the top 4 for each subregion come together in playoffs to make the slots for an international

I mean technically 8 and 8 could work too but idk if that's too many

I figured the 6/6 to keep Parity in the league as a whole

mid table 3/6 and bottom half team (4/6) make playoffs? No one would bother trying. Every player would be extremely neglectful and lack motivation if bottom feeders can easily make playoffs. Uncompetitive af.

8 teams in each league

6 BR (FÚR, LOUD, MIBR, PNG, RED, VKS) 2 LAS (KRU, LEV)
6 NA (100T, C9, EG, G2, NRG, SEN) 2 LAN (6K, EXL)

I still think they will split apac too and reduce the number of teams to 8 in each region, having 6 regions with a total of 48 teams (keeping it as it is today)

EMEA just becomes the strongest region by far if we split APAC and Americas which could end up hurting the region since talent may go to other regions where its easier to qualify

replace C9 or EG instead of NRG, atleast NRG pay well and make exciting roster moves (plus if C9 get removed then 100T Oxy is a 1% possibility)

no, your biased portuguese uncofirmed news said 16 teams
that's not happening, plus we don't even know if riot has confirmed the south american/brazilian region yet (biased report said considering not confirmed) (which would be stupid considering their abysmal performances this year) - the report is from a brazilian source, not from riot

Horrible news that would both make the 2 region weaker. The problems of both NA and SA, is the league is located in the worst city in the whole continent.

Remember that Americas have less player than EMEA and APAC, if the tendencies continue APAC will have x2 the number of player of AMER in 5 years

bro wants to give the bottom 6 teams from the Americas their own region and then not increase how many NA teams there are.

this is a crazy idea? as #29 said, the bottom 7 teams in americas are all latam/brazil + eg (furia, mibr, loud, kru, 2g, lev). Like it's unfortunate but true (ex. 5/5 confirmed playoff spots are na). That's why EMEA is europe middle east africa but you don't see any african players in emea do you?
everyone agrees that they're just worse this year, sad but true. Why give them 6-6?
