Yeah, it is incredibly popular in Japan. Japan has a lot of Esports cafe and Esports gym, they are like internet cafe but specially made for games. One day, I hope Japan can be like Korea in a sense that school kids go to these places after school and have an intense match of Valorant. That day definitely is not out of reach but..

This is how Riot treats Japan? Only one slot?

Also it is fair given the fact that the league homebase will be in the US, giving T2 NA teams better chances to improve massively compared to South American teams. In a couple of years we would probably have 9 NA, 3 BR, 2 LATAM

Be happy your region doesn't have 10 teams like emea. Best NA players will be squeezed into 5 teams. Better chances for NA to win international games, when best players of the region aren't spread out too much.

You do realize that the orgs are competing for the slots, not the players right? and there's no way that the team under optic now is not going to be in franchising. Their literally the best team in your region, there's no way that the orgs are not trying to get them by now.

listen why does riot insist on doing stupid shit.
South America should have their own franchise, w 10+ teams
ditto with NA.
and relegation
just shamelessly copy the old ESL Pro League regional seasons.
some teams would get farmed but who cares.
unless there’s a tier 2 league for each reason too. but even then, they won’t be able to play top talent and prove themselves.

Its even more deppresing when one of the LATAM spots will go to Infinity because Riot thinks that "LATAM=Mexico"
