I 100% agree, we can see with Vivo Keyd and ZETA that regions that a lot of people consider 'minor' can be contenders when given the opportunity. Allowing more regions into international play further encourages the locals within a region to pick up and get better at the game. I really wish Riot allowed for at least one OCE team direct entry to Champions without having to go through the NA LCQ. Maybe Riot should add a 'play-ins' stage to Champions, increase the amount of teams in the tournament and therefore increase international representation within the tournament. When COVID-19 subdues, teams should also look to bootcamp in international environments to further their own playstyle and learn from other regions. Maybe Riot even considers adding India as a region as the game seems to be growing there.
