I might be really, really wrong. But isn't this purple juice on his/her side boba tea? I tought because of the little round things in the drink, and i've heard of something like this in China called Boba tea, where you can drink the juice and eat the little round candy things.

I'm just making a bet, If anyone of China could confirm it or an Asian could tell me i would be thankfull :D

To be fair, Omen could also count as an American agent since he was from America before turning into a ghost.

that could mess the game imo, specially because you could use the mfer any way you want imagine a mfer copying a jett or neon ult and running fast AF or brim ult or omen ult or even KJ ult/sage ult could be broken af i wont like that.

riot partially (? Wholly or majority) owned by tencent, also the game is validated to play in china, etc
I feel like it’s unlikely and even if it does get passed in China it will likely just be changed into a second Chinese character

Bubble Tea is best associated with (and was created by) Taiwan.

as a chinese, 珍珠奶茶 is milk tea with pearls (boba) (🧋) but it actually originated in taiwan! maybe the agent will be from taiwan :)

Taiwan for sureeee

Yeah I feel it’s very unlikely for China owned Rito to make Taiwanese agent
Even if they do it will probably be changed into just another Chinese agent in the Chinese version of the game

Boba Milk Tea or bubble tea is pretty common here in Southeast Asia like every streets had one and since Philippines already had one agent which is Neon, im pretty sure that agent will be our very first agent, or thailand(?)

Yeah at first I thought it might be Thai or someone in SEA but after I saw cactus and "papi" I can't think any countries around here relate to it.
Must be some South America.

It can't be Brazil, i only saw boba tea by Chinese and Asian refereces, to represent Brazil they would probably do a Cane Juice(suco de cana) and not a Boba Tea.

The drink alone can mean that the agent could be from SEA (probably Taiwan), but what threw me off was the "BEARD PAPI" phone call.

I've heard it's from a Spanish speaking country since it says "papi"
To me that would match up with the plants if it was a south american country as well
Also the terracotta tiling would be matching up with the South American theory

I agree with Spanish/Portuguese speaking country

The environment does not have anything that makes me think “Asian agent!” Except for the boba, and even then, boba is very common around the world nowadays

The tiling, plants, and papi make me think either Spain or a South American country
Maybe Argentina?

It's not gonna be portugal or any portugese speaking country because they say papai not papi

Ah, did not know that sorry
Still could be Argentina no? They are Spanish speaking, as far as I know, and they have a big player base (or at least many skilled pros), but I do not know many things so…

I think that would make the most sense especially when checking on a map that Argentina is a more arid country

Also I think he has a pet??? Theres an animal grabbing the boba and i wouldnt be surprised if its the purple raccoon
Edit it could be a south american coati and they seem to lean more northern south america

Idk if it’s whatever you said it was
It’s armored on the outside, and on the inside of the arms that we see the purple, you can see through the arm. On the top is dark, where the armored bit would be, and on the bottom you can see the tile through the arm
I think it’s more so some fantasy creature thing
But then again it does appear to be what you said on the lid of the boba

Well and what's to say its not some hybrid animal and fantasy
I mean if it were to be a hybrid it would both represent the country its from and also create a basis for an ability set
I think its gonna be of that nature and how it works I guess well find out

Boba could really be anyone but it does originate from Taiwan. Riot owned by Tencent tho so... might geta bit politically nasty

as a latin american cultured mfer i can tell im 70% sure its from colombia because of the way the house is built also because of the pot and the word "papi" people from dominican republic and cuba also use that word and have houses similar to that one but on colombia there is a huge amount of Players so i´d bet for a colombian agent.

also boba tea has been kinda trendy currently so i wouldnt be surprised tbh.

I saw some ppl talking about the new agent being taiwanese, but if they do, they'll bring some political issues to their job, since Taiwan isn't an independent country, but a chinese province to China government, but Taiwan always call themselves an independent country, completely out of China

We already have a Chinese agent in Sage, and I don't think Riot is planning to release more agents from the same country any time soon.
