Wtf are you talking about? Valorant WAS NOT at a 1% PC bang play rate a year ago. Holy shit. You didn't win the stat arguments. The assertions you're making given what we've seen in the stats is absolutely absurd. If Korea is such a surging region, why didn't their representative in Ascension last year even making it out of group stage?
You keep referencing Overwatch but the circumstances surrounding this game ARE NOT the same. I have no doubt that Korea will manage to be more prominent on the global stage in the coming years but there is 0% chance you see the domination we've seen in LoL where they're taking champions year on year for long periods of time.
I'm clearly not the biased one to any reasonable person reading this discussion.
