Long-term geopolitical impact: Weakening loyalty to physical nations and promoting "brand diplomacy." States are shifting toward sponsoring clubs (e.g., the Korean government supporting the LCK) or hosting national cups (e.g., the ENC). This diversifies sports soft power: China uses the LoL Worlds to promote youth culture, while Korea exports K-pop-style influence through the Faker myth. Potential risks: Globalization dilutes local talent (e.g., server migrations in Latin America leading to talent drain).
