why is skrossi not playing? i'm not caught up
It's the double-edged sword of a nationalistic/region-based league such as the Pacific. We are so enclosed in clusters defined by local regions that most of the time, APAC is defined by the diversity of the region. Riot knows this and has stated that the amount of effort to emphasize these sub-regions are part of their campaign.
However. People are slowly being exposed to Riot-styled leagues (if they haven't watched LoL.) It's not about the regions anymore. I should clarify. It's not about the subregions anymore. For the International Leagues, It's about Pacific, EMEA, and the Americas. The subregions still thrive in Challengers. Diverse rosters will slowly fill the league. Maybe not from a single country, but potentially two or even more.
Pacific will still be unique as in the league that defines subregions as its identity, but Pacific has 10 different eligible countries. Those countries define the Pacific as one, not divided.
it is indeed a fraud "indian" team, it should either have that tag with indian players playing (at least 3 in the 5 man playing roster), else they simply aren't indian representatives. GES can completely become an international roster and its sad to see an indian org do this, but it just shouldnt position itself as an indian org if its like this, ofc thats not possible.
