Please, can anyone tell me why are there 2 spots for China in the Asian last chance qualifier?
I thought the game wasn't even released in China yet.
Thank You!

Edit: Looks like no one is getting my question. I am asking how are there Chineses teams gonna qualify for the Last chance qualifier. I havent seen a single Chinese match yet(maybe I missed it), also the game isnt even out China... how?????
I am not asking WHY are there Chinese teams, I am asking HOW are there Chinese teams?
I thought China will get into the competitive scene when the game will released there.....

Probably because tencent is riot parent company and they want their game to be big in their own region

Valorant will become bigger than CS:GO in China of course cuz rito game maybe we see them become as good as the other main regions like EU/NA and they might play as well as they did in Overwatch

I thought there's only one spot left and it's not officially confirmed who that slot is for yet? People r assuming that it's for China.

Vlr says 2 spots which are labelled as China.
Also, so you are saying thats its just an assumption?

That doesn't make any sense at all. Then how are they even gonna compete with other teams if they play when it has just been released? The Asia LCQ is in october, only few months left...
