APAC League HYPE

and teams from Southeast Asia, Korea, Japan, South Asia, and Oceania will make up a league

I wonder they're going to balance the participation. With 16 teams, and 4 + SEA (MYSG, ID, TH, PH, HK/TW, VN ) = 10 "regions" to pick from, it's going to be hard to reach a good compromise.

On the other hand, LAN COMPETITION!!!!! HOLY POG, I don't think there's any PC esport that has even close to Valorant-popular LAN competition with this variety of regions.

Imagine a tour going like SK->JP->PH->TH->ID->SG/MY/India

Also, investment in APAC is going to grow so hard since the viewership will be very high combined with Riot assistance for all the teams. Hopefully no more bullshit like the X10 situation or players getting paid peanuts and not being able to put their all into the game.

At least team will get some exp

yeaaa hypes real plus there is a lan to be held soon in India with apac teams if I'm not mistaken within may

I wonder how the slot allocation works

I think it's more likely we see north of 24 teams

i hope india gets atleast one seat in apac

how do u end the quote after the first line

W for apac (oce sa jp kr sea)

it just occurred to me that this change saves PRX in 2023

I think Jingg is going to leave for military service that year, so they'll have to pick up another player.

Since the league is all-Asia, they won't need to only choose an MY/SG player as the replacement since they have literally all of Asia.

the SEA superteam is finally possible.
