Mods, surely this cant be allowed.

Actually it's 3 or more, from what I kmow VCJ teams often imposes high buyout clause. So there is no guarantee that CR or ZETA will get the suitable players they want

Which is why the Japan would be better if they get 1 partnered slot and 1 OQ slot.

japanese teams always had at least 3/5 players japanese so that region wont change much (probably a bad thing tbh)

FINALLY someone understands this. In fact with this as a factor you could argue that JP would benefit more from consolidating all their talents into one team.

What Riot did is probably pointing Japan as the scapegoat. People like to complain about Jp more than actually pointing out that Jake Sin was the mastermind behind all this

APAC fans like to think that Riot does this with Japan in mind without accounting on the possibility that Riot wants to channel some apac talents to China

Jp living rent free in your mind

You have to really stretch the Japan's firepower as a region to achieve that.

And considering how hard it is to get good Japanese players from VCJ teams I think it is going to be hard for ZETA and CR to be in a good position even if they can get the right Korean players

Aside from Thailand and Vietnam watching from their own stream, the rest watch in English stream anyways so yes dividing SEA like the current state is a bad move from Riot

They can cash in on PH talent so I think they'll be fine

Nah the org needs to be called full english breakfast

This is not even a criticism on APAC, this is just an observation.

To succeed as a subregion in Riot's environment you need 2 things.

Clout: This is your argument to Riot why your region has to be treated well.
Talent Depth: How you can compete with other region.

AMERICAS and EMEA (somewhat) got this covered. CHINA is a region just too big to not be made into a region.
While APAC is very divided. Think of it this way,

Japan has the popularity to offer while struggling with it's talent depth.
SEA has the talent depth but doesn't have substantial views.
while KR has both. PRX is an exception.

I was really trying to go somewhere with this but I lost the plot lmao.
let's just end this with correlation=/= causation

ZETA or CR
Any Japanese team

Jinxing this early huh, definitely-not-cameran

Isn't that just APAC in general?

This level of shamelessness is amazing. The one-time Indian beat Japanese team is when they are carried by 3 imports. I wouldn't dare proudly boasting that to everyone. Notice how SkRossi and LF are bottomfragging.

At least Japanese teams serve their community unlike yours who left your region to dust. The one time GE tried to develop talents is when Riot has to force everyone curry favor with Riot

Keep in mind I'm not too familiar with the scene anymore just take that with a grain of salt

Average 20k- if Zeta plays 30k if DFM plays 40k, if any Japanese team can do a run 50k and above.
THe last time Zeta did a run the views can go as hgih as 200k or higher ( twitch+Youtube and other streams)
If PRX plays you get +5k

For T2

If you consider RIDDLE and MURASH your views can go 60-80k?
Fennel guarantees 40k

Pacific was never heading in a good place either way with viewership like that.

I don't expect Riot to change their ways. Japan will always keep watching regardless of their declining viewership.

If people don't like it maybe they can invite their friends and family to watch and buy the bundles instead of complaining.

That's what happens when people who doesn't know the scene pretends they do.

Human Centipede

Have tiktok and youtube gone this bad? Why are we censoring the word piss now lmao.

Also I did not learn english for this

He probably meant if you kept it too minimal you will look like CS. changing metas and deeper utilities makes the game more than just CS with quirk agents

Akame or CLZ ofc, both played as IGL before.

Took those words right outta my mouth and who is This "we" at #3 😂

Optimal Content-Results move if possible

This right here might be the very main reason why Riot does this and deserves more scrutiny

You can do it if you give Jp 1 slot. ( although I was also told 2 slot increases the odds for a cinderella run which is fair ).

But thanks to Riot giving JP two slots now everyone is hostile towards Japan.

Which then again, everyone has always been hostile towards Japan even at T2 and pre franchising so this should be nothing new.

I think Korea will be fine. They can just pluck some kid from the street and everything will be fine.

Talent wise I think PH is better than TH. But TH managed their talents better so it looked like TH is better than PH

hello

Did "the" just fucked "are we"?

Add verity on the mix

I got curious when you say that and apparently there's the US and Indian version of it too with the Chinese version is still in production lmao.

But because nowdays watching a K drama or movie is considered a genre of it itself. It really felt like this is lazy PROmax instead of just plain lazy lol

The day after is already excruciating.

I only shit in my home unless I really have to lol

When your Favorite show somehow got a Korean remake.

It's not like I hated Korean or Korean shows. But one can see that this is a very obvious lazy attempt at generating more views.

What prompted this post is the trailer of Korean "The Intern". But what made me felt awful was encountering Korean version of "Doctor-X" in Netflix. It was supposed to be a fun movie night 🥀

What movies that gets a korean remake? I can think of

Money Heist
Designated Survivor
Doctor X
Parasyte ( not Parasite)
The Intern
what else?

"Honestly, in the beginning, he was doing a little bit of anti," he said. "Then we swapped, because he didn't know our play style, so it was harder for us to implement his anti. And then he did anti of ourselves, so he was anti-ing every single game that we played and understanding what kind of tendencies we had."

I have never even considered this kind of coaching. Amazing

It's a bandaid im afraid. The views now depend on the org or the streamers.

And you will hear this again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again x100

The views are declining.

The region's not getting anything that resembles a win.

Not to mention, your competitor like APEX and Fortnite are doing much better every year.

If these keeps up, then you are left with only the hardcore fans.

I'll take anything if that means VCJ will be glorious

Kickoff is like masters?

Oh shit does vlr releases news that explain 2027 system? I think I need to see it

Contribution in glory doesn't pay your bills as a whole 🤭. Dealt with people like you way back then and I see somethings never change.

You can cry now to your mama because Riot aint giving one to your fuckass region 😂

Best case scenario 1, worst case 0

Tenhou (天鳳)

That's because you're still at gradeschool learning your abcs.

Riot bent over backwards would rather face repercussions by giving JP 2 spots is indicative of the fact that JP contributes heavily to the region.

Why do you think China gets their own region? Think Japan but the mini version of that -> 2 spots for us.

The easiest way to see is just look at the viewership. You have a loyal 30-70k fans who are willing to stick with bullshit all the way to T2

Jp fans are very aware that they're not a good region. So you can do your 2 + 2 and see why we are VERY profitable 🤭

What part of #22 is genz slang gng 🥀

I'm putting my prayers into this 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐

Very interested with "these fans" and "they" that you are talking about.

Ofc not every non jp player will get jpn money, no sane jp fans wants to buy TS bundle buddy.

Wait so partnered teams dont get automatic spots?
