SA and SEA should compete for 4 slots

Instead of 3 slots for SEA it should be instead 4 slots for SA where SEA and SA teams compete with each other to qualify for Masters. This way we get rid of all the unnecessary and average teams from qualifying for masters. Anyways the number of competitive teams from both regions boils down to 2-3 really good teams so this will filter out all the commoners. End of the day if all SEA teams can beat SA teams it's good for masters as representation right ? or vice versa. For Japan, Korea and China we can keep it same as the esports scene is too big to single them out as well as the quality of teams are too high to involve in generalizing 4 slots from ASIA. What do you guys think ??

SEA only has 2 slots... And for Masters. I think it's a decent idea to have them have a combined group but SA might get really big and we might want to have Riot make more slots in total instead and just have everyone have their own slots.

My bad regarding the number of slots. But yeah since a lot of discussion on the forum is about giving 2 slots for SA I thought we can just do 4 or lets say 2 or 3 slots for the whole of South Asia where they compete with each other to pick out the best instead of 3 average or any good bad combination and 1 average from SA. Having own slots from each region makes the masters too easier for predicting results and below average competition. Imaging SA team competing with NA teams and getting thrashed. It just doesn't make sense for such teams to compete internationally when they couldn't compete even with teams from their own region. For example, I follow a lot of SA games specifically the VCC where the teams do average strats and still winning among themselves but the same strats in my view won't work against SEA teams forget about korea or Japan.

Exactly, we don't want average or below average teams showing up at an S level tournament where they get thrashed 13-0 or 13-4 :P

Not specifically but yeah as no1xetafan mentioned, something similar to EMEA to filter out such a huge region where esports is still not that developed and invites unnecessary embarrassment at a global stage. If a team can beat all teams from SA definitely they might be capable of beating teams from other region. But if a SA team is unable to beat SEA teams itself what's the point of inviting them to Champions lmao ? They'll be just happy to be there instead of being able to actually compete :P

For someone who is from a region that has always been pathetic in every game and has never missed slots based on performance this is easy to say, now that NA is finally at the top you should show a little more humility with emerging regions, Valorant won't let go sustaining in the long run if the competitive scene is only niched for EU/NA, I at least don't think that is interesting to watch international tournaments like that. Not to mention that we only had 1 international Masters in LAN and Americans feel entitled to despise other regions, terrible winners, stupid attitude.
