Stop calling for China to removed as a VCT region. Even though VCTCN teams are still not performing the greatest, at least the Chinese viewership of VCT international events is still getting better and better compared to the second half of 2025. And Riot can farm more juicy revenue from this increasing Chinese VCT viewership. Chinese viewership of VCT international events was at its all-time low during Champs 2025; the viewership of Champs 2025 Bilibili videos were shockingly abysmal (by Chinese standards, not our standards). I have seen some Bilibili videos of VCTCN's uninspiring London performance that got 360k views in 12 hours, 210k views in 9 hours, 170k views in 7 hours, 192k views in 16 hours and 178k views in 10 hours. That is already a very decent step-up from Champs 2025 and Masters Santiago. If a Chinese team won 1 series, everyone would be celebrating and Bilibili videos would instantly blow up and average around 400-600k views. Riot loves all of this juicy viewership from VCTCN; after all, VCT viewership is being saved only because of China
