Region dividing for franchising

#1

I think its the best case if Riot will divide the region like Valve with their DotA, but it's different like:

Asia: APAC, KRJP(or maybe China will join this region), and SA. or dividing into only 2 regions, West Asia and East Asia
Europe: It's better to divide into only 2 regions, West Europe and East Europe
America: same as Europe, North America, and South America. or only 1 region

Riot is owned by tencent . When the game release there they will have 6 or more slots just like NA . The dividing of APAC isn't really necessary if they give the spots necessary to teams here.

I agree with this, but APAC has more teams. In one country maybe they have 2 or 3 valuable teams (according to recent VCT Circuit Point). I was concerned if Riot still insisted on sticking with 1 big Asia region.
For China, maybe if Tencent gets access to Valorant, maybe they should make their own region themself

I also agree that big countries like Indonesia and India should get more slots because they still have most signed teams even after teams not getting the league spot. And VN , HK/TW did not even get any spot which is even more fucked.

like I said, APAC including Vietnam has more than 1 valuable team also. but yeah HK/TW just only has 1, Griffin Esports. But yeah, for me personally, franchising doesn't a good idea

EDIT: or maybe they should have 2 divisions

Best for me
-East Asia League 12 slots : 4 JP, 4 CN , 2 KR, 2 HK/TW
-APAC 12 slots : 2 Indo, 2 Thai, 2 Phil, 1 SG/MY, 1 VN, 2 OCE. 2 India/SouthAsia
-EMEA 14 slots
-Americans : 14 slots : 6 NA , 4 BR, 4 LATAM

For viewership
-Japan teams will carry East Asian viewership+ KR Val is growing
-indo, India, thai, Phil will carry viewership of APAC
-EMEA KOI, BBL, G2 so many big orgs so don't worry about viewership
-Americans viewership will always high

2 slots for VN is too much cause the viewership of VN is not high (and their teams are not strong also), 2 OCE because OCE is big region
