Given OCE has 4x the player base of JP and 2x the player base of TR, it's disappointing to see us left out of such a major event.

Grassroots TFT has struggled in OCE because there was nothing else to play for. This will only continue if we don't get slots at these events. https://twitter.com/davidhigdon/status/1249714235430469635

This is using approximations of LoL Chess Ladder Rank data, so it may not be accurate, but it's around that ballpark.

I guess the one good thing is that ME is finally getting recognized as a region for League. Server coming soon surely?

Because this is getting buried in some replies, here's the stats I'm running off.

Master+ players on each server
Japan: 167
Turkey: 297
Oceania: 733

Rank distribution curves are almost identical, so we can deduce that it applies to the whole player base.

The 1000 player cut off (where LoL Chess goes to) also tells how deep some region's talent is.

Japan: D4 75LP
Turkey: D2 1LP
Oceania: D1 21LP

There is literally no logical explanation as to why OCE was left out of this global strategy, unless there was something wrong with the OCE office trying to run an event (which, let's face it, has been a problem in the past, and arguably the present).
