why does it show a region for Bouvet Island - an uninhabited Norwegian island in the Antarctic - but not for Afghanistan?
i get that theres political tension in Afghanistan, but theres more likelihood for an Afghan citizen to play than the penguins to hit Radiant right?
maybe it counts as SA idk
but Pakistan counts as EMEA - must just be less geographical boundaries and more political boundaries
Israel in EU
Azerbaijan in TR, Armenia in MENA, Georgia in EU
Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan in EU, Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan & Tajikistan in EU
pakistan counted as SA last year so that's weird already
well tbf the only Pakistani team (that i know of) was Howlers, who played in VCL Middle East, and there were no Pakistani players in VCL SA
but the pakistani ENC team did play in Asian qualifiers, tho tbf the categorization pbb isn't the one that Riot uses
ENC also had Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan as part of MENA so defo different categorization systems
Fak this make no sense at all, Tadjik Afganistan and Iran should be in the same region for language reason, or mayke Tadjik have an horrible ping on Turkye ?
For my understanding, Turkmenistan and Azerbaidjan speak a language close enough from Turkish to be mutually intelligible so it really make sense to keep them together. While Kirgizh, Kazakh speak Kipchak language and are too bounded with Russia to be spli. And Uzbek is an in between, but I have no idea if the ping is better in Istanbul or in FF.
We really need a central asian cerver and a region there if we dont want to loose this market T.T
Not possible Pakistan is EMEA
This is a question we need to ask to them. Where did you find itt ?
Would connect it to that one event and since then we dont like that country anymore
i understand political reasons for it
but #1 - Israel is still listed
and #2 - they listed an UNINHABITED ISLAND owned by Norway ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
lowk good question, uninhabited is prob the worst part
i find it interesting too that things like st tristan, kerguelen, british indian ocean, etc r counted as eu and not africa
could be bc they just dont wanna associate (like they did w russia a while ago) but idk
