Why people started to shit each other region? Problem isn't SA having 4 slots, EMEA 3 slots.
But why only 12 teams, champions only 16 teams? Why???
They should increase to 24 and give these new slots to small regions like India, OCE, etc.
that would require extra time and money. Resources that small indie companies like Riot don't have. Maybe one day when they're big enough we'll get that.
"nah man, the costs of increasing number of participants from 16 to 24 is exponential, we can't afford that here at Riot Games Esports division" - some Riot esports mid level executive, probably.
yeah the more the better but I still fail to understand why are they giving EMEA fewer spots than other regions, to be honest
No hate towards brazil/latam or any other region in particular
24 teams and make a system like the PGL Stockholm Major, using the circuit points + divisions based on the region performance last champions and make the stage system
