Canadians getting left out of the Esports scene?

I've been around since season 1, saw the ups and downs of LoL Esports, hell I remember when shiphtur was playing in the first lcs qualifiers back on GGU. I've sat at my computer and watched world's after world's and I start wondering to myself, when is Canada going to get a shot at some Esports? Some of the greatest players to have played the game have come from the great white north and it feels like we sit on the sidelines watching every other country take their turn. So I guess my question is, what's going on Riot? Canada not cool enough to host Esports events?

Group stage should be in Toronto, not SF. I mean, California already gets the Finals. They should distribute it a little better. As it is now, basically the same pool of people could be considered local to 2 out of the 4 rounds.

Better question would be to have more representation, since they are part of NA

You realize they are part of NA, right?

Canada shouldn't host dude.... Even in LA the players are using handwarmers on stage, and we saw during allstars, players wearing hot towels while waiting to play their 1v1s.

Imagine how cold they would be in Canada.... Shoutout to the Oddbros tho

Norther Wisconsin isn't that cold so I'm sure Toronto isn't that bad either. I got snow in MIlwaukee before some of my Canoota people this year actually.

I believe they count as NA

Would have liked to see Groups at Toronto, Quarters at Chicago, Semis at Denver, Worlds at LA. It's a nice progression from East to West Coast NA.

Two events in California just doesn't make sense.
