EMEA "pride" | VLR.gg

#1

EMEA keeps flexing about being the best region, but let's be honest, it's only because they have a whole ass continent to pool players from 💀💀💀. Riot has put no national barriers when it comes to picking players unlike every other region. Besides Russia, every single theoretical national team from EMEA will get slaughtered internationally

EMEA is a great region tbh, I think Fnatic is a solid team from there. I think it's fine for them to be proud but some fans ruin it for everyone lol

If they're not a top region even after having the largest player base, then it would be legit embarrassing

like 3 months ago, I remember the playerbases were something like

~1.8 million NA
~3 million EMEA
~3 million APAC (this APAC includes JP, South Asia, and Oceania)

I'm not really sure how any of this is relevant though.

maybe it's because the new act started recently, because there's

1.14 mil NA
2.04 mil EMEA
2.2 mil APAC (incl SA, OCE, JP)

I am all for splitting EMEA, it means we would have more slots in tournaments

It's weird why Korea and Japan aren't merged, Brazil and Latam aren't merged, but we are

Viewership shouldn't decide anything, competitiveness should

Btw I'm pretty sure we maintain more views than South America

only this year they have 3 because China joined LCQ
and China alone is much bigger than the whole Europe

Its just an insane hypothetical scenario, like why would you compare small european countries with regions that are taken up by 1/2 countries

The no import limit from different countries to allow mixed teams makes so much sense. Teams in APAC struggle real hard because there is a 3 player minimum requirement even within APAC.

Makes teams like Xerxia and Team Secret, Zeta and DRX look so much better that they are 1 country teams yet still able to perform relatively good in the international stage.

EMEA qualifiers had national barriers with CIS, EU and TR regions being separate then pooled into 1 but what are you supposed to do to split it up fully? there would not be any competitive integrity if you made EU, ME and Africa all different qualifiers for masters it would be completely fucked. Even CIS EU and TR would still be fucked and the player base in these individual regions simply is not enough. Nothing stops other regions for importing 2 players from different regions and still following the roster rules. Atleast VLR has more regional barriers.

i mean EMEA is more like EU+CIS+TR. riot needs to split mena and africa. emea teams dont even have african and mena players.also riot should change the name EMEA to EUCISTR. something like that
