Maybe because the region doesn't consist solely of Taiwanese teams. For example, Hong Kong Esports.
Makes sense with it being a Chinese parent company.
Considering Taiwan considers itself to be the Republic of China, while "China" considers itself to be the People's Republic of China, it'd be a little odd to have two "China" teams.
So, just like how the UN gave the current "China" the "China" seat, and Taiwan some other seat, Riot gave "China" "China" and completely disregards Taiwan.
Interesting.
Well to be fair the region consists of 3 countries. It doesn't have an all inclusive title like Europe for all the eu countries. Since Chinese region is just China, and Korean region is just Korea, they can get away with those.
HOLY FUCKING OMG SHITUNESS! Your right... POST OF THE YEAR AWARD!
...this info is almost worth considering banning RIOT from playing ever again. VILE CHINA TO DOOOMULATE THE UNIVERSE! LoL: Assuming I Don't get banned of course. ANywyas another reason why RIOT selling itself ==EPICFAIL.
IDK why they just don't call it "Chinese Taiwan"... its not like it isn't called Taiwan anyways.
Fun fact, Nepal declines Taiwan aid because China offered theirs first.
Moral of the story: China is a big bad mean country No one wants to mess with.
