Slots in Champions

There are 16 slots in Champions.
10 slots are decided, for each region 3 slots directly via League, and 1 slot for Pacific LCQ winner.
6 slots remaining, I think Riot will divide for:

1 slot for EMEA LCQ winner
1 slot for Americas LCQ winner
2 slots for China (really don't like it, but that's possible. Riot loves China, therefore had given them 2 slots in Masters)
2 for an event, like as a global LCQ with 4 teams compete in:
- 3 from 4th place of EMEA, Americas, Pacific
- 1 from 3rd place of China (that's right, because Riot loves China).

Actually this year there is only a split of season, meaning top 3 of League will qualify for both Masters and Champions directly. Not need to win the Masters.

no, the winning region in this case will get one more slot than the rest. so if evil geniuses win, americas will get 1 slot of eg + normal 3 slots from circuit points, so like the team that came 4th in regional league also auto qualifies

Riot doesn't "love" china. China owns them.

Leo Faria in Lock//In press conference pre much insinuated that he wants China market to be big enough to be its own League. China will get some slots.

But so big that it's comparable to entire regions?? This isnt lol where China is a powerhouse nor has it as much popularity yet. I agree in trying to improve the market there but to go as far as to give it as much priority as the other regions is just ridiculous

china would get as much viewership as the rest of world combined, so makes total sense to do so. they are a business.

Valorant isn't as popular in China yet. It's pretty much a new game there. Highly doubt it's for the viewership
