Incorporate JP and KR into one region!

Sorry to say but JP is just not there yet. If viewership is your only justification for giving them a free spot then why not giveaway some to China and India as well?

they wait for china to join

then they will make jp, kr, & cn in one region

Make APAC North to join APAC South APAC North is China, Korea and Japan

Wake up, this isn't valve

Korea has one slot since they don't really get a lot of viewership, as someone who watches KR. And Valorant isn't even officially released in China yet afaik, so they can't give China any slots yet. I don't doubt that China gets 2 once Valorant esports are official there.

KR deserves a individual slot

Yeah this is a good approach since kr viewership is so low make jp/kr/cn one region as they did with APAC, have teams with jp/kr players so that Japanese can still watch.

fyi korean viewers is nothing compared to japan, their viewers is like 1/10 from japan. this was counted from youtube and twitch stream, i dont know if they have their own streaming website like china.
viewership is important for community growth that's why despite their shit performance, rito always gave them direct slot.

I WAS WRONG!
