I think SEA itself should have their own direct slot to circuit, and the apac playoff should just consist of team from SA and OCE. SEA has proven enough that they deserve that direct slot for themselves.

doesnt matter , SEA will still be the strongest contender in APAC playoffs , with 4 invited teams from champs . And Riot may increase a slot for APAC region , it can be 3 slots .

yeah, the result will likely came out that way. but the chance of SA or OCE team to get their own representative to master will be low and imo that does not seem really good for their region development.

yea thats kinda bad but atleast SA and OCE will play against best teams in SEA and get experience playing against them :D

How many teams will qualify thru APAC for Masters I think there should atleast be 3-4 cuz lots of competition and many teams and 2 regions too

Invited teams? any source on this one?
It isn't fair tho if they decide to invite this 2021 Top 4 teams, It's a totally different circuit.
There are so many decent teams in SEA that capable to beat this teams anytime.

maybe because they follow other region same like emea, the team that attend champions got invited.

I will agree if this Top 4 teams are invited into SEA stage, but not at APAC.
