how cn region so confused

APAC will stop growing if korea is separated from the rest of pacific. how much did APAC improve prior to franchising? after PRX, there was a pretty massive divide between them and the next best team. meanwhile, korea's first appearance at LAN got them a 3rd place finish. even PRX sucked in 2021 and only got good in 2022. franchising has encouraged APAC teams to finally choose only the best talent for their teams instead of whatever tf they were doing in 2021 and 2022. RRQ is an example of this; they were terrible coming into franchising, and they have turned things around pretty well if you ask me, with being a top 5 team in the region in their current form, with lots of potential. Or talon, who were finally encouraged to pick up the young, extremely talented players to join their roster, which may propel them to new heights, even though they are already top 4 in pacific. korea encourages growth because COMPETITION encourages growth. if only japan stopped stealing koreans to play for their teams as a shortcut, the subregion might have actually improved, both in tier 2 and tier 1.
