BREAKING — The new Challengers Southeast Asia circuit will consolidate the following regions into one: - Indonesia - Malaysia/Singapore - Philippines - Thailand - Vietnam - Taiwan/Hong Kong "One of the big changes we’ve announced is matching our Challengers leagues to their respective Premier Zones." Consequently, the APAC region will feature 5 Challengers leagues starting later this year (SEA, SA, OCE, KR, JP).

@VALO2ASIA Please let me know if I'm wrong, but is it correct to understand that it will become one league like the Pacific?

@VALO2ASIA ?????????

@VALO2ASIA How will the slots for Ascension be divided up? Or, will it remain the same as it currently is?

@VALO2ASIA Miss all this LAN Challengers event on each Southeast Asia next year😓😓😓

@VALO2ASIA giving KR their own league is understandable, cause they are good. OCE and SA due to ping issues. but how the hell are they merging the whole SEA as one, and giving the underperforming JP a region?

@VALO2ASIA L format They hate us SEA, They make tournament for view not for talent. JP/CH/SA/OCE was joke

@VALO2ASIA PH/MYSG would be understandable because our scene is basically dead. But Indo and Thailand? Brother, the talent pool is a fucking ocean there and the scene is THRIVING. The LANS are crazy. Thanks for killing our SEA scene @lhfaria. Hope you have a response from this @RiotJaker

@VALO2ASIA RIP local LAN Challengers then, gonna miss it

@VALO2ASIA Packing SEA into one is crazy, does SEA got more slot for ascension then? If not they should at least divide SEA to two leagues by ping

@VALO2ASIA they should combine KR and JP into 1 challenger too. This is not fair

@VALO2ASIA like, almost all of the SEA region is much better than the whole SA.

@VALO2ASIA Put JP + HK/TW + KOR in East Asia group then we good, other than that this is ridiculous route for SEA teams to compete.

@VALO2ASIA Finally changes my new twitter banner after this thinf happen

@VALO2ASIA This is a big L, & disappointment. We ID enjoyers love our challengers community and the story of each of the teams who competes in the local challengers. Now, local LAN may not be possible anymore, such a big L.

@VALO2ASIA they should've merge ID/SG/MY and TH/PH/VT instead. Also throw HK/TW to China region because they wanted both countries anyway

@VALO2ASIA what a terrible change, did they even think how they're gonna resolve the ping disparity issues? how theyre about to burn some bridges with soop in VN + TH? The language barriers? there's no way brute force merging the region like this wont absolutely murder it

@VALO2ASIA lol SEA needs like 16 slots or else it's dead

@VALO2ASIA bad change ngl

@VALO2ASIA WTF?

@VALO2ASIA Region Indonesia sangat dirugikan. Harusnya ID dapat region sendiri juga kayak korea/JP. Invite tim2 besar di Indonesia biar tambah exposure. Malas nonton challangers dah kalau begini.

@VALO2ASIA How many slot for SEA in Ascension?

@VALO2ASIA Udahlah redup makin redup dah:(

@VALO2ASIA Same needs to happend to EU but even smaller its so bad having to follow 10203838 leaguea

@VALO2ASIA I heard that SEA only got 2 spots for ascension, then how about SA? no way they give them 2 spots, right? kinda wasted

@VALO2ASIA @ValorantEsports why tf did you combined all sea in 1? how did japan got their own league? and tf is taiwan and HK doing in SEA anyways? for KR and JP getting more slot? SEA better have at least 6 slots for ascension for this to be acceptable

@VALO2ASIA Yah boom btr ama ae bubar ini mah riot gini amat

@VALO2ASIA For Riot games peak viewership are more important for them.

@VALO2ASIA yah

@VALO2ASIA rip

@VALO2ASIA Mehh

@VALO2ASIA Mari kita simpan buat malam ini dan kita ubek2 pagi nanti
