RIOT hurting international competition

So I was looking at regional standings, power rankings etc. it's become abundantly clear as to why korea and china seem to be dominating forces on the internationAl ecents.

North America amd the EU regiom are LCS sponsors, they get a set schedule and those are the games that they get. This year they got 18 games per team, and 0 series ezexperience Which is important considering any hopes of moving forward kn an international stage by newer teams (for example teams like H2K, UOL, team 8 and others) who have really only played a couple series matches. It hinders player focus and endurance.

Then you look at the regions riot is not controlling. LPL has played 36 regular season matches all brst of 2 games. They doubled LCS regular season matches. Korea is sitting on 24-36 game ranges for their season ( minimum of 24 games played via 2-0 series and max 36 with all 2-1 series) SEA is similar with between 18 and 24 games played or so. The up and coming Japanese region iz all series play too if I am not mistaken same with Brazil oceania turkey/russia and such, but they play fewer series head to head.

So the problem is really that with no regulatory guidelines as to how seasons are being run across different competitive regions, different teams and different regions are really starting to show clear guidelines as to who is generally showing up. Even strong single game winning teams from NA/EU who make it through group stages rarely make it past quarter finals. there are a pocket full of teams who generally cap out from those regions at semi finals usually (TSM, C9, OLD FNATIC, because the new one is untested in international play for now, old gambit, as their last 3 splits have left themsub optimal with this last split giving them hope) and obviosuly there are the IEM tournaments where historically gambit fanatic and tsm really have crushed well, and tsm taking over the IEM katawice championship was cool. But with the MSI coming up, as well as all stars which was said at the beginning of the split was not gstting replaced with the MSI but added to, its really going to show a strong difference in the fortiude of league play.

Realistically every region should have the same number of teams, matches, and tournament structure to standardize competitive play across the board. Whether it default all regions to a 10 team 18 game split or force each team to play BO3 series throughout. But to make international play fair, regions need to have the same definition of what a split is.
