Hear me out, this is not normally...
I think that Riot and the Airlines companies are colluding to sell more tickets. By giving EMEA extra slots, the airlines get to sell more tickets to the EMEA teams/staff to fly them all the way across the world just to get stomped by NA (or China lmao), and have to buy more expensive early tickets home. If Riot gave more slots to NA, the teams would all make it to the second half of the event and be able to book an entire plane back to LA at a good rate.
This just isn't right, Riot should apologize for this despicable behavior!
