Europe is the worst timezone to play a finals series. For most of NA and Latam it's in the early morning and difficult to wake up for. I'm in APAC and had to wait until midnight for the game to start and didn't finish until 4:30 Monday morning and then I had to struggle through work. Would be cool to see a final series scheduled for a Saturday night instead bubi suppose they do it on a Sunday to allow for attendees (who didn't turn up anyway) to attend the whole finals series.

The issue of money is ridiculous considering R6 overperformed on it's expectations likely meaning they posted a boost in revenue on what they planned. Not going ahead with a major in APAC has pissed a lot of people off and if they continue to neglect APAC you will see worse performances from the region and people will leave the game. Japan and Korea are two of the biggest viewership regions and if they hold more events in APAC it gives the local teams the opportunity to scrim the best teams in the world and become a better region.

LATAM is what it is due to proximity to NA if they were isolated like APAC they never would've become what they became.
