How do you suppose VCT China gets fixed.
genuinely just put CN back in APAC as a subregion in the new system. For one it allows you to Drop Secret and Varrel in exchange for two competent chinese players (Prolly EDG and Xi-lai if I had to pick). Two, They'll improve faster playing against better teams which will help them catch up with the rest of the competition quicker than they will just playing with each other. The rest of China goes to play in APAC Tier 2 where they will also get to have consistent matches against BETTER players, allowing them to adapt at a slightly higher pace rather than constantly playing against other worse Chinese teams. Then when a Chinese team makes it to a regional or a major, people won't be so quick to look away from them because they genuinely had to fight GOOD teams to get there rather than being handed a free spot by Tencent. They Will have had to go head to head with teams like BOOM, Sharper, and Oasis then later in Regional stages, teams like T1, KRX, PRX, Etc etc, showing they genuinely have what it takes.
it makes no sense since there will be less teams in the next franchising cycle
