The alleged locations are:

Americas: LA
Asia / Oceania: Seoul
EMEA: Berlin

where would you like each league to be operated? personally, i think the Asian / Oceanic league could be somewhere a bit more central i.e. Thailand or the Philippines

Apac pls not in PH. I don't wanna see a match when suddenly blackout happens.
Kr/jp for apac is good bcs infrastructure, other option only SG.

eSports infrastructure in Korea is the best in Asia(excluding china) as eSports literally one of their national sport

SG is ridiculously expensive to live in even compared to major cities like Seoul or Tokyo

Probably not easy to get a studio-sized spot to host the league and crowds (prayge) in too.

I prefer tokyo more than seoul tbh valo is really small at korea, the viewership there is too low, maybe even worse than Copenhagen

Tokyo > Seoul

Tokyo would be fucking amazing for the scene tbh. every single game would have a sold-out crowd

I think housing and visa issues may be the problem since it's pretty strict there.

As much as I want PH, nope. Internet sucks, always rains which causes blackouts. Just no it sucks here. Just go to kr/jp or sg

A reminder that these locations would be for the regular season games, it's likely that playoffs or certain games could take place elsewhere

LA will always be the home for Riot's esports in NA, they definitely won't change this, they might make a LAN server for the event though

Seoul, while not the most populous region for VAL Esports, like LA, it has a lot of the infrastructure from League. Also not too crazy visa-wise or CoL(Cost of Living)

Berlin also makes sense, home of Freaks4U, the production company for EMEA.

Nah. Tokyo/Seoul for APAC. Arguably Seoul because KR already has Riot infrastructure from League, and they've been hosting Challengers on LAN for ages.

Americas: Logical since LA is home to Riot's main office anyways. The LCS is headquarters in, a lot of Riot's infrastructure already centralized within LA.

APAC: Yeah, logical too. You can't count out Seoul as the esports powerhouse. While they are using the Sangnam Coliseum (former OGN studios), I can imagine LoL Park as a possible venue as well.

Berlin: Again, logical. The LEC has its studios there and Challengers EMEA also headquartered themselves in Berlin.
