,,more stability"
Thats exactly what kills an esport, taking out the chance of tier2 teams to compete with the elite because only certain partner teams have direct slots to tournaments.
Basically you are turning the pro scene from a place that values coordonation and hard work as a team to a place where the only way to make it is if ur an opportunistic stat farmer and get lucky being noticed.

franchising isn't ideal, but it' still a simple and sustainable way for a game to stay competitive

see how cs:go got fucked up with the open circuit, the game practically doesn't exist outside Europe

Csgo died outside of Europe because valve never really cared about increasing the games popularity, for them cs is just a money printer.
Riot always keeps the slots fair at master and champion events for every region and that encourages competition. Im not against some orgs being named partners but imo full franchising is a step towards killing the game.
Best way to do it: lets say there are 16 teams at the emea pro league which leads to masters. 8 of these teams are partner orgs, the other 8 come from qualifiers

I have mixed feeling about franchising, I don't really like it but I still think it have some big pros

yes

yes, I think so. most people don't realize that most orgs are bleeding money right now and esports in general is still not in that level. franchising makes the esport business model less of a dream and more of a reality

the point about franchising is mainly that orgs receive money from Riot, they are being rewarded as they invest in the game so they will never leave the scene

In an open circuit orgs have no guarantee that it will be a profitable business since the team may not achieve the expected results which makes the org lose money. See how many times C9 left and joined csgo for example lol

But I understand and I will repeat that it is not ideal and I like your idea, let's see what Riot will do
