Shopify is worth more than any org in north america or probably in the game and the current moment. They have a solid game changers team and good financial backing. Now that they have a top roster in NA it is very likely that they get in
Most leaks say that the financial backing won't be the deciding factor, and the brand and fan base of the orgs will be way more important. There's a reason why Riot will be giving the spots for free and will be paying dividens

SR is probably one of the richest esports orgs in valorant and maybe the world, i mean their parent company shopify has earned like 1.2 billion in 3 months alone this year
no shot tbh unless they make a miracle run in lcq and champs and gain a massive following
Idk If they can get Franchised spot next year or nah, IF not maybe they still can sell ex-LG players (or whole roster) to franchised orgs for profit
yo fr who is Shopify Rebellion though? I'm aware they have a GC team, but other than that, never heard of them. Do they have good sponsors? Are they a big org at all?
Shopify Rebellion is an org made by an e-commerce site called shopify, so their financials are pretty good. Their esports are pretty small time, as you said they had a GC roster, and they also have a Starcraft 2, Rocket League and Halo roster that are all pretty mediocre, this signing is probably their most significant and is probably going to be their flagship roster, and val will be their flagship game with a top 8 NA team and top 8 GC team
Assuming this means that Shopify have a really good shot at getting a franchised spot?
