Do you guys think India and the Phillipines should have their own tier 2 region, since GE won 2026 VCT Pacific Stage 2?
Should India have their own tier 2 region?

how many t2 indian players were in GE when they won Stage 2 which was a fluke anyway???
Bigfish [#3]There is no point if you can count their radiants on one hand
There's a good reason for that the rr gains are smaller in Mumbai since there was initially a smaller pool of high elo players leading to everyone's mmr being lower so it's a vicious circle that feeds into itself making it almost impossible to even hit radiant unless you play singapore or hong kong in which case you're ping will hold you back heavily.
Why the fuck does vietnam get their own region but India Phillipines and Singapore don't. Imagine you can't qualify because you have to get past fucking prx all the time while weakass Japanese and Vietnamese teams get a direct ticket
There are no good Indian or Filipino players. It would just be a waste of money

why would Sg get its own subregion 😭
Fool69 [#8]then why there is smaller pool of high elo players???
Most likely the playerbase is too small, hence why there is no point for an entire region
Siuuuuuuunaldo [#9]why would Sg get its own subregion 😭
why would India get their own sub region just because GE won with no indian player in their team btw
Bigfish [#10]Most likely the playerbase is too small, hence why there is no point for an entire region
Player base is good but there's large skew of players in low elo. The main issue is most players can't play sg or other servers due to high ping. So they are stuck playing the same 100-200 people every game
Fool69 [#8]then why there is smaller pool of high elo players???
Because pushing past immortal 2 in Mumbai is absolute hell. You gain like 15 rr for an mvp and lose 20+
Siuuuuuuunaldo [#9]why would Sg get its own subregion 😭
Motiv prx bleed

Large playerbase , may not be at a high level rn but could improve with better opportunities atleast the newer ones
Sg has such a low population lol
The problem is whether or not they deserve it (they do) but it's more is it profitable and sustainable to uphold those two regions where the TO selections are lacking and the prospect of the higher ups looking at it in a more business perspective than what we see on the ground
Which, I might say, is a tragedy in itself.

I would agree with you if an Indian based org with Indian players win something next year until then nope

Mumbai has a huge viewerbase and while not all the playerbase is high elo a large percentage of them are really into watching eSports.s

Bigfish [#3]There is no point if you can count their radiants on one hand

CaxTonYT [#29]Are you for real? Secret is notorious for their bad scouting
Bad management/Scouting for 4/5 years? At least other underperforming VCT teams kept their star players like DFM and C9, Secret just let him go.

just get me in a team ill carry us to a champs trophy
Currently, based on premier data, India have a bigger playerpool than TR, BR, JP. It would make no sense to not give them a region. It may not be profitable day 1 but in the long run it will be a market as juicy as China if the card are played correctly.
