In the statement, they mentioned Wild Rift esports in Aapac and China through Wild Rift League while other regions are focused on third-party competitions. Basically, they noticed grassroots and community-focused events in a number of regions have been very successful. So they have decided to implement that approach through the APAC region

Unfortunately, they didn't specify the negative on why they are going to this approach but we can only speculate? is it underperforming? budget related? let us know in the comments.

Wild Rift APAC Community Tournaments
Good thing Riot Games has responded to the community queries in regards to the change. So what's next? Riot also confirmed that the WLA will only be operating in China leaving the competitive esports scene in the Philippines without a major Riot-operated tournament

APAC region will settle with community-driven tournaments. What happens to the pro teams? According to the Riot Games statement provided by Fragster. Riot Games is in talks with WRL-Asia teams from the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand about their future status. Stating to review their standing contracts, and to ensure that teams are compensated fairly as well as offered various opportunities to explore future options

What are grassroots and community-focused events? Basically, they want to encourage more organizations that are interested in mounting their own community tournaments.
