Hey Riot, I appreciate your help for japanese pro players...

... giving them korean accounts, so that they can play with lower ping. I know that esport is priority to you... but could you, please, help a little "normal/casual" players in Japan too, and finally let us know what is going on with Riot Games Tokyo? There isn't any official news since you announced it over one year ago. Can you tell us approximate time, you're planning to launch long-awaited japanese server? Or just answer to this post

Let's count the number of things that need to be done (at the very least):

Contacting ISPs in Japan
Translating all in-game and website text
Hiring support staff in Japan
Recording and editing all character lines and voice-overs
Setting up data centres in Japan

They've really got the work cut out for them. This certainly doesn't look like a one-year job.
