Why is Riot neglecting Canada so much?
It seems like every major eSports event help in NA is in the US. This may be because the smaller population, but the population of Las Vegas is only 603,000 as of NA spring finals season 6, but the population of Toronto is 2 million as of this same time.
So my question is, Riot... Will you ever bring a major eSports event to Canada? Even if its just a regional final?
Would love to see/go to a match in Toronto, but so far, NA wise, its been a big step from season 3 worlds, where all of the events were in California. They even laid the tournament locations weirdly this year (Which annoys me, b/c events in West and East coast, not Midwest (Except for Chicago for once :) ) ), going LA, Chicago, NYC, then back to LA. Would have loved to fit a Canadian city in there somewhere, like LA, Winnepeg, Chicago, NYC or something like LA, Chicago, Toronto, NYC.
Isnt rito HQ in the US? ( I don't pay attention to this stuff ) Prob saves a fkton of cash to host there for them
They probably will eventually, and may even have a Worlds circuit there considering they could easily use Montreal, Winnipeg, Toronto, Vancouver, or Ottawa as venues. But with the pattern they've been using thus far, the next Worlds circuit will more than likely be in China if they're following MSI around the following year, so no telling how long it'll be before they finally come around.
For worlds or playoffs I think that would be fantastic if they went to more areas, especially with some large cities in Canada, it would greatly increase the esports community globally, and with cities like Toronto and Vancouver with large areas and stadium to host a tournament or a few best of 5's.
