Yes, of course Riot is going to favour countries like Korea when it comes to Esports, it shouldn't really come to a surprise. Korea has a long standing history in Esports and proven success and is widely recognised as one of the most influential countries in the space
Strictly from a business and competitive standpoint they WILL invest in a country with more proven potential and a huge audience
so no they aren't giving random ass SEA country the same amount of slots as KOREA lmao, life isn't fair.
Yes they favour the better country with bigger Esports orgs more viewership and more success in the Esport, Korea is also a safe developed country where they can hold Esports events no they aren't moving Pacific to some underdeveloped country where no one wants to go
-edit
I literally don't care what any of you say, its the truth
it also applies to other regions for example Western Europe has more slots than Eastern Europe
