However, the entry efforts of Riot Games seem to be enough for the community that criticized the developer for the quotas and the capacity of the headquarters for the Game Changers Championship 2023.

After the announcement, Riot Games It was harshly criticized for keeping the same eight slots as last year, despite the growth of the women’s competitive scene. This growth of the inclusive scene in the last year made more than one hope that Riot would increase the number of participants for the 2023 edition of the event, but this did not happen.
The community reacted and many players also commented on the place chosen to host the event: the CBLoL Arena, which has a capacity of only 150 people.
Just 8 times.
A vague for the royal who finished in 3rd place (with chances of going to the final).
