At the present time, perhaps the League of Legends community has known: Since 2025, Riot will merge small areas to make a large area. Therefore, VCS from 2025 will have to merge into APAC and will have to go through a number of more matches before it is possible to be sure of the international tournament such as MSI and Worlds. However, besides the planes through competition, Riot will allow the areas to be merged into APAC for partners (roughly translated: partners). Of course, accompanied by special requirements (title, influence, tradition …).
In 2025, VCS will merge into APAC
And recently, the VCS community is arguing about: Will the Esports gram chosen as Riot's partner at APAC and the future of the remaining teams will be like?
The community argues whether VCS may have 3 slots to attend APAC in the future
Previously, Riot allowed the teams to register the partner of Riot at APAC 2025
In fact, if considered according to traditional standards, titles or influence, etc. In the area, GAM is the most worthy team and almost nothing to argue. In fact, GAM is also receiving strong investments with TK boss Nguyen. However, the GAM in VCS is also too strong and the question that many people are interested in is: If GAM has (almost), the default has a partner of Riot in APAC, can VCS have 3 APAC 2025 tournaments next year? This Riot has not yet specifically announced because the team has not yet determined the team will be Riot's partner. However, the possibility is very low.
GAM is the team that converges many factors to become Riot's partner at APAC
Because, at APAC, there is the presence of 4 areas (excluding VCS). If there are more teams from Vietnamese League of Legends appearance, the number of slots attending the APAC 2025 will not increase when there are 8 capacity now. Therefore, if Riot's partner teams in the APAC area are selected (maybe GAM, PSG Talon), the competitiveness will increase as expected of Riot when the remaining number is not too much.
But even when VCS has not yet joined, APAC has 4 areas (PCS, LJL, LCO, PCL)
In addition, the purpose of Riot is to let investments are placed in the right place, improving the quality of the region on the world level. If only because of the partner, the number of teams will be in the opposite of this goal. Therefore, if Riot chooses a gram for the VCS partner at APAC 2025, it is beneficial for GAM, and contributes to increasing the competitiveness of the remaining teams of VCS. The rest, there will be almost no VCS 3 to attend this tournament.
Riot will be able to want teams to improve their qualifications to increase competition instead of expanding the number when VCS joins APAC
All challenges can knock down the teams, but will also be the motivation for the teams to try harder in the future. This may initially cause many difficulties, but it is also the basis for VCS teams to create more impressions for Riot and the international League of Legends community.
