Franchising idea

Each regional vct will have 16 slots. 12 will be bought by teams and 4 will be from the semifinalists of vrl league of the region. However at the end of each season the worst performing invited team will have their spot replaced by the top performing invited team. The old shit invited team will now have to compete in vrl and won’t be allowed to buy a slot in vct. This way we won’t see teams like clg in league constantly being shit. Vrl will work in similar format with open qualifiers at the start of each season and the top teams from last season will have a bye. The regional vct will also be split into 2 halves, stage 1 and stage 2. At the end of each stage a winner will be crowned and the top teams participating in the masters event. Qualifying for champions will be a little different as top 8 teams of the league play in a regional qualifier with either 2-3 from each region making it to the champions lan.

TLDR: 12 invited + 4 top teams from vrl make regional vct. Regional vct split into 2 stages. Top teams from each stage make it to masters. Champions regional qualifiers are top 8 teams throughout the 2 stages play in a qualifier to make it to champions

why would the teams pay huge sums of money then..

To be invited for the year and the sums don’t have to be huge. Otherwise they are at a risk of being stuck in vrl

You don't know how they're going to be doing it obviously.

Riot is going to be PAYING ORGS to be a franchise. They've said so themselves
