Valve doesnt do natural growth lmao, they are lazyfucks who let private company like ESL & PGL run and rule the entire system. Mongolz is an anomaly, they practice in european faceit after they reached their goal to get a spot in the tournament. They have the consistency, something what chinese teams are lacking.
You need to realize that events & pug ecosystem is the most important thing to keep a region competitive. T2 asia is dead, if pros wants to keep up with the top they need to play pugs in european server, this is the same thing happened with NA.
