Epic Games is probably a more valuable subsidiary than Riot Games now

Why Tencent Is Poised to Profit From Fortnite Mania

The founders of Riot Games sold all of Riot Games to Tencent, this is a trend you see with people who lost faith in their own work/company/the people working for them. "My granddad left me with this chocolate company, but this chocolate is nasty I don't want to be chairman anymore"

I think Epic is already outperforming Riot

That's the reality

Imagine is a Tencent corporate event(Maybe Chinese New Year) and key people from different subsidiaries are invited. Tencent executive coming in approached by Riot Games founder, and Epic Games founder at the same time. They both want to say something at the same time.

Tencent executive will be like "shh shh shh to the Riot Games guy"

Lol. Fortnite has no market penetration in the east because it's design and marketing are too western influenced and has only been around for a hot minute, unlike League which has been paying the bills for a decade. Even if the theoretical situation you are describing happened, League would still be the more valuable representative to talk to if the amount of money brought in is at all comparable since in addition to money League has far more cultural significance compared to Fortnite and has also been proven to be a stable investment.
