people talking about splitting americas

It's not easier than you think

First of all are you guys talking about splitting americas into two groups making NA have 6 teams (SEN, C9, NRG, G2, 100T, EG)
and give SA 5 teams (LOUD, KRU, MIBR, FUR, LEV)
which means you would have to bring one more SA team into the scene, which would be unfair to tier 2 NA teams

or give each region 10 teams each
However this will definitely spark outrage between other regions as only one team from other regions can be promoted via Ascension per year, while both NA and SA have multiple teams promoting per year, theres just no way riot is gonna let this happen

Not to mention the brackets
Currently we have 4 regions which is perfect for a 16 team bracket or 8 team bracket
If we have 5 regions then we would have 10, 15, or 20 teams brackets which is a nightmare to arrange

these are just some problems i thought of off the top of my head, im sure there are more complications

Not reading allat but i agree

I think Riot should focus on giving the players from SA and LATAM an easier entry into the US - those Visa issues are way too annoying and SA/LATAM teams shouldn't be getting screwed this way

Also it would be good to host some tournaments and Splits in Brazil, Argentina and Peru for example

The region is called Americas for a reason, but they always play in LA. That's kinda unfair because there's not that many LEV/KRU fans in US, i think

I would:
split americas into 2
split emea into 2

then have minimum 10 teams in each league

if im really stretching it, split pacific into SEA and KR/JP and merge KR/JP with CN

this all would be a long term change tho, like itll only be a serious proposal in 5 or so years
