Champions representation unbalanced

In the coming partnership/franchise leagues there will be 10 teams for all of America, 10 for Emea and 10 for APAC. These 3 major regions all have similar playerbases, around 500 million players (wrong numbers, this is way too high, but I don't remember what they were. I just remember reading that all three legues were around same monthly playerbase). However in this champions there are 7 teams from America, 6 from APAC and only 3 from EMEA.

I think that the reason why EMEA is generally considered to be the best region is that they have less teams representing the same size playerbase. This means that they never or rarely send filler teams. If there was a separate qualifier for Turkey only then EMEA representation would be weaker despite there being more EMEA teams. In the end this doesn't matter that much because hopefully for the coming years all 3 partnership leagues will have the same representation. Just goes to show how packed the EMEA region is

yeah, the EMEA circuit (incl. VRLS) is pretty much a test for franchising in the first place

I wouldn't be surprised if it happens but I think it would be unfair to give more importance to some regions over the others. With LoL they already gave more importance to the LCS than LEC and in the end the LEC became way more relevant.

500 million players???????

probably meant actual population there (not really true tho since ASIA has like 3 billion or something)

each league's ranked playerbase is very similar, with all three having around --2.5-- 3 million ranked players.
