For current act, estimates using tracker.gg
All figures are shown in thousands unless stated otherwise
NA: 840
APAC (including KR): 1,600
EMEA: 1,300
BR: 275
LATAM: 322
Now compare that to slots
NA: 3
APAC: 6
EMEA: 3
BR/LATAM: 4
Do the math. South America has 1/3 of EMEA's population yet they get 1 more slot.
Slatko [#2]Funny how South American teams are like X10 worse than EMEA teams, if you don't count KRU, Riot is on drugs.
Exactly, if BR ever made it out of groups or won a tournament there could be a justification.
But no, their viewership is lower than single countries like Japan, Turkey.
Their performance is the lowest amongst all regions, never made it out of groups. SEA, KR/JP, EMEA, NA, all already made it out of groups atleast once.
Their server population is decent, but not bigger than NA or EMEA or APAC.
Yet South America 4 slots EMEA 3?
I'm not buying champions bundle again, not donating money to BR orgs that fled their original scene like NIP.

we need to make RIOT know this
their fans are so mad rn
ValdemieGC [#4]I feel like they think they have EMEA viewership well established already, so they are not giving EMEA any extra spot lol
Which is... stupidly unfair
doubt, I think it's because they know they can't beat csgo in EMEA
ValdemieGC [#4]I feel like they think they have EMEA viewership well established already, so they are not giving EMEA any extra spot lol
Which is... stupidly unfair
they're reducing it, not just giving an extra lol
KoreanOverlord [#6]doubt, I think it's because they know they can't beat csgo in EMEA
so do you really think they are giving up on EMEA already? I don't think so
If they lose EMEA viewership, they are more than fucked

oh shet, i hope thats not the reason because its quite messed up
ItsMeDio [#7]they're reducing it, not just giving an extra lol
not really reducing it, if you think about it
exactly the same spots were given to EMEA last season
ValdemieGC [#8]so do you really think they are giving up on EMEA already? I don't think so

Honestly, it will happen again, a bad team in a bad region will qualify in Masters and Champions and a good team in a good region will not qualify in Masters and Champions, coz of the slots, each region has.
KoreanOverlord [#12]BUMPING TO SPREAD AWARENESS, WE CANT LET RIOT GET AWAY WITH THIS
agree
they are very biased towards BR & LATAM
