SA and OCE are a great example why being an isolated region is a big disadvantage, you can't scrim with other regions easily also your playing fields and tactic only develops around your region and it will take tons of time for them to get used to other regions

My point was that there aren't enough teams in Korea to warrant moving there. DRX is definitely worth scrimming, and the other top teams in Korea are too. However, with such a small number of highly skilled teams the scrims may not be as efficient, especially because the only other option is JP teams (which allegedly tend not to scrim SEA teams).
On the other hand, from SEA, it's possible to scrim against Korean teams on like, ~50 ping, which is entirely playable. And, from SEA, it's possible to play against dozens of other great SEA teams with a much larger variety of playstyles on lower ping.
I wanted to point out that moving to KR may actually have a negative impact in the long-run, compared to another nearby region.
never intended to imply that - I may have worded my other response badly.
I think it'd be more realistic to move to SEA (where they'd be playing either way) which has a much wider pool of T1 teams they could scrim on like 0-30 ping AND the option to scrim SA/KR/OCE teams on playable-ish (60-90) ping.
okay if there aren't enough teams in Korea now explain how xerxia become good because they ONLY scrim with KR, HK, JP ?? the team become one step ahead from other SEA teams and beat envy because they are scrims with 4 good teams? ofc not LOL, they get adventages by moving there if not maybe vietnam is geographically better and cheaper for the org
riot should put another server in between SA and SEA somewhere like chennai or bangkok so that they wont have to deal with ping issues if they want to scrim against SEA teams. Same with OCE and SEA put a server somewhere in eastern indonesia idk if they have the infrastructure there but it would be good for OCE teams
Chennai server is not needed tbh SA is not only India but its got teams from Afg Pak in the far west too ALSO all India teams can relocate to Chennai (32ping) to scrim against SEA teams but they wont coz they wanna play from comfort of their hometown bootcamp in mumbai as all friends and family are here also they're suffering from SEN syndrome the org gets decent money from South Asian streaming scene that they're getting complacent when it comes to pro scene
it would be 200% better but like I said they're like SEN of India (all set when it comes to making the bank through streaming and Content creation even if they keep being dogshit outside India) also Mumbai to Chennai is like California to Texas as SenTenz describes it, Nothing to do in Chennai meanwhile Mumbai has got everything like legit everything
L take chennai has almost everything mumbai has plus if chennai servers do get started then its not just south Indians but a large number of bangladeshi and eastern Indians can also play there, it will also give decent ping to all SEA players, it can be something similar to sg2 server but accessible to SA as well
north Indians can't play Bahrain servers and the thread wasn't about additional server
its either Chennai or Mumbai. India is never getting more servers unless valo grows a lot
also its not what a gaming team wants its what the players want their personal needs and so forth
Mumbai has got better food better contacts to Indian esports Industry and the content creators its also got much more western culture and night life etc meanwhile Chennai is quite conservative also Mumbai is the only truly cosmopolitan city in India where you can find people from all corners of India meanwhile most people in Chennai wont even speak Hindi even if they know Hindi so hell bent on speaking English or Tamil
this post refers to intercontinental scrims and i wanted to say its all the same for every region except eu/ cis. The post says if SEA teams have to get better , they need to scrim with really good teams first (outside SA) and they can adapt to theirs too. But in the hindsight its the same for every other region except eu and cis. Like na cant do with eu and eu cant do with kr
Riot may introduce something like ping buffer, for example, there are ten players in the lobby, the average ping of all players is something around 40-45 and the lowest ping of 1 or more player is less than 15 so adding buffer in the connection between the client and server would give the high ping players a stage of fair gameplay, this may help isolated regions very much ig
