How to fix APAC

APAC has been doing better in terms of performance as a region as of late, but in terms of viewership exposure it isn't even on the radar.



Problems with APAC:



1. All games HAVE to be casted:



Games not being casted is awful for both the fans and the professional scene, fans can't get invested if they can't see their favorite players/teams play. Players/Teams can't improve or counter strat if they can't watch VOD's of themselves / opponents playing, thus bringing down the standard of play in the region.



2. A single Twitch channel: (www.twitch.tv/APAC_R6) for example.



First off I have to acknowledge there will be language issues, but I think having all games on the same channel regardless of what language they're in is important. Splitting up into four channels is incredibly hard to follow, just include in the title what language the cast is in. (You'd be surprised how many people watch Pro League muted anyway, a lot of people don't like casting.)



3. Number of teams:



APAC has more teams than the rest of the world combined ('Pro' teams that is) there are 32 teams in APAC compared to just 24 in the rest of the entire world. This is just TOO many teams, I'm a professional player and I really couldn't name more than 4-5 teams from APAC because of the sheer number of them, how is the average viewer supposed to remember them all?



Cut the number of teams in half, 4 teams per sub region of APAC. Suddenly there are just 16 teams in APAC much less intimidating for fans to get involved in the region and it will be easier to the games as there aren't a ridiculous amount.
