the favouritism is based on actual reasoning tho

the others regions don't complain because they don't care and don't see it as a race war, they just play the game and watch the game lmao

that is exactly what I said, but I don't want any more downvotes

issue?

thats how a business operates...

and where is booms trophy?

thats literally what his point is...

"Riot don’t have to not play favorites, it’s not in the contract they have to treat every team equally"

hes saying they play favorites

this might be the only good elyxxm post ever

ok

tell me the name of 1 good SEA team

ok

its just that u have nothing to complain about

you guys have 5 teams representing SEA in the VCT and the last Masters was held in SEA

what is there to complain about

yup but its still a legendary moment

everyone knows the clip but not everyone knows they still lost the game lmao

base it off the whole season not just a 3 games of stage 1

also Trent is an initiator so its harder for him to frag out

???????? hes been a top 5 player all season lmao

t2 scene being dead is kinda bad for the esport

bruh

what is riot supposed to do

SEA has 6 spots in the VCT

East Asia has 6 spots in the VCT

but East Asia has way less countries lmao theres basically only 2 to choose from so what do u expect

how did u get them all wrong

people were calling them racist

there was an entire thread with like 30 upvotes calling Riot racist because they "showed Nongshims highlights more" and half the website was going on a rant saying they wanted Korea removed from VCT and that Riot is racist to SEA and favours Korea

oh yeah i forgor but still no Katowice or anything

of course there is favouritism but my point is that it applies to every region not just Pacific

but its only the Pacific fans complaining

isn't that entirely what vlr is

in the Americas the USA (one country) has 5 slots and the games are played in LA

in EMEA Western Europe has 8 slots and the games are played in Berlin yet Eastern Europe only has 1 slot and no Russian orgs, and Middle East and Africa have no slots other than 2 Turkish teams

but people only complain about Korea? Blantly ignoring every other region

my point is Riot chooses their franchised teams based on a combination of factors and a strict selection process taking financial stability, track record, and fanbase into account,

but people only complain that Korea and Korean domination, if the roles were reversed and Korea was shit then no one would be complaining

Korea is big in Val and has the most franchised spots out of any country in Pacific because their orgs are the biggest and more globally relevant, they aren't given the most spots and recognition because of "racism" or whatever people wanna claim

The last Masters was also literally hosted in SEA meanwhile theres been no international in any Slavic country or any LATAM country other than Brazil yet people complain Riot is "racist" to SEA

but i wasn't complaining about anything lmao so what am I crying about

clueless

no one wants to go to Jakarta lmao

do u not realise how big G2 as an org is in Europe

its not just NA fans dumbass the org is from Europe

Korea has some of the biggest Esports orgs in the world and has some of the biggest fanbases, as well as Riot has huge ties with Korea

Name 1 team from SEA or India that has the same impact and relevance in Esports as T1 Gen.G or DRX

no one was crying lol

LMAO???

G2 is HUGE in Europe for CS and League lmao ur clueless

answer?

G2 is a European org

but why would they host it in Singapore over Korea

name 1 Singaporean Esports org equal to or bigger than DRX Gen.G or T1

why would they host it in Singapore when Riot has huge ties to Korea

issue?

im not even Korean, im just speaking the truth no one wants to hear

also fym minorities who is the minority, SEA has a population of nearly 700 million

if the SEA fans would just stop complaining and shitting on Korea with their 0 trophies I wouldnt care

its almost like it happened

wtf do u expect, u wanna host VCT in Vietnam when Korea is literally one of the global hubs of Esports?

Yes, of course Riot is going to favour countries like Korea when it comes to Esports, it shouldn't really come to a surprise. Korea has a long standing history in Esports and proven success and is widely recognised as one of the most influential countries in the space

Strictly from a business and competitive standpoint they WILL invest in a country with more proven potential and a huge audience

so no they aren't giving random ass SEA country the same amount of slots as KOREA lmao, life isn't fair.

Yes they favour the better country with bigger Esports orgs more viewership and more success in the Esport, Korea is also a safe developed country where they can hold Esports events no they aren't moving Pacific to some underdeveloped country where no one wants to go

-edit

I literally don't care what any of you say, its the truth

it also applies to other regions for example Western Europe has more slots than Eastern Europe

i literally don't care

th could win and i would not care

they probably will tbh

??? NA has 5 teams - 100T C9 EG NRG SEN

South America has 5 teams - Furia KRU LEV LOUD MIBR

yeah lmao

Korea only have 3 slots, 4 if u include Nongshim but that was earned through Ascension, yet Korea dominates Pacific and is the only country to win a trophy

simply just a skill issue
