According to him, when a region has more ranked players than NA, it certainly cannot be termed minor.G2 Lothar@LotharHSI really dislike usage of the &bdquo;minor” region nomenclature, when for example, APAC has more ranked players than NA. History in other games shouldnt make them &bdquo;minor”, VAL has its own history being built.
