NA LCS WAS THE FIRST TOURNAMENT IN LEAGUE EVER AND THERE IS A HEALTHY PLAYER BASE THERE THEY DONT HAVE TO WIN A SINGLE TOURNAMENT AND WILL PERMANENETLY GET THE 3 SLOTS

that doesnt mean u gotta get 3 slots .id be if fine riot wants to suck china off for skin sales with 2 slots anything more is like mocking every other region that has been playing valo so far

there has been 2 servers for hong kong for 2 years now so its valid to compare player base. your logic about "league players will play valo" didnt work in korea so u cant assume it for china . the korean viewership is very low for valo.

all 3 chinese teams will get grouped in champs calling it right now

they fluked against loud (they had a cold tournament) they will be smoked by liquid or EG

edg will loose their next game

EG fkin clears
EG 2-0 liquid not even close
fnc 2-0 prx

dont forget the lurking duelists who will claim they arent the problem cause they got the lurk and exit frags

wonder if the 3 slots is just for champs and will be reduced for masters next year every region sends in 4 teams for champs except china

that seems to be an excuse not a reason. chinas (unproven and non existing) potential is being treated better than the 26% existing(real) player base of NA and 7% of brazil. riot made a MOBA thats popular in china doent mean an FPS will get the same success.
just like the mediocre valorant success in korea.

riot is owned by china thats why they are simping like this.
no other valid reason to make it a seperate region

u are talking about league of legends success in china not valorant . league is the biggest game in korea and korean valorant streams get like 10k viewers . valorant just released in china u gotta wait to see if the game is even a success in china before u treat china as an equal to 2 continents of north and south america

NA has above 25% of total player base and they have to fight brazil and latam for the slots and china is somehow getting 3 slots for free ?? how is this even fair? just make APAC into asia with 5 slots and china has to fight other asian teams for the slots
