If they make OCE play online, Riot really doesn't care about anything outside NA

It is implied even on the Oceania Tour page that teams are required to have proper documentation for an offline event, but as far as I'm aware, zero concrete news about it outside of the schedule and what we knew already.

hopeful for it, if there is a country that has light visa restrictions and covid restrictions than maybe riot will do it

If the first master literally placed at Vietnam that APAC Lan could be more possible

They don't deserve it yet. Wait for SA to prove themselves in APAC payoffs and Pak/Ban/SL teams to show their performance in VCC playoffs.
Riot will do it before we say it.

I still highly doubt it'll be lan though, since many locations probably wont allow

Zeus, XERXIA's coach said on stream that he's pretty sure it is going to be LAN. He said that he's not 100 percent sure but it is likely that it is going to be a LAN.

Thank God. I believe the 'not 100% sure' thing mostly means they somehow know it but shouldn't know

Has to be done to make it fair. OCE would struggle way more than SA teams.

what if there's no lan but riot takes initiative and fly out sa and oce teams to sea? so it's like online but at least no ping diff

I think Vlt would set up a bootcamp on their own in SEA if Riot doesn't take them there for an online event

20 teams LAN event is going to cost a lot for an A tier tournament so they probably going to keep it online, it would be much cheaper if they just facilitate SA and OCE (like giving them tickets to somwhere in SEA and a place to play) instead of whole APAC

but LANs in asian countries will be much less costly than EU or NA. so copium

I don't know which thing costs how much.
But what if they do LAN with crowd like CSGO, with players facing the crowd. They can can do something like what KRU did setting a KRU did. That could get some funding too.
