Orangutan? They aren't even an year old. I doubt they get a slot.

If NTH do well in Copenhagen I’d expect them to get it over CR, but we’ll see

afaik CR is rich compared to NTH

You’re probably right in that one, I’ve got no clue 🤷‍♂️

it’s a lot more about the org itself than performances

This Bodork guy writes whatever he wants and 60-80% of his predictions turn out to be false
Don't worry about it

Dude literally said Fancy United, Persija, Global, Griffin would be in franchise at some point, you can't take him seriously

RedChilli7 [#10]

3 slots is a lot

Honestly no, Japan teams have gotten really competitive internally, more so than Korea at least.

I wonder what'll happen to the PRX roster. I know jinggg is going into military service and f0rsaken wants to go to NA, but idk where the rest of them will go.

Opinion, fellas. Either you hate it or you let it be.

Asian Franchise will be the funniest to watch

Who cares about t4 APAC teams

There’s literally more regions than slots possible, it’ll be one massive shit show no matter which teams Riot select

Orangutan lmao no way

Indian players might go international

Bronze-Smurf [#21]

Orangutan lmao no way

Maybe Velocity than or an org like S8UL, since I don’t see Godlike making it anywhere near franchising with what’s happened recently and Riot tend to dislike orgs connected to NFTs, like GE

hellohello139 [#19]

Who cares about t4 APAC teams

true

My source told me it would be divided like this

INDIA : 1
OCE : 1
INDONESIA : 1
REST SEA : 2
KR : 2
JP : 2
CN : 1

BoDork once said on a stream something along the lines of "Orangutan's Financials are comparable to a tier 1 NA org"..

Sprouts [#23]

Wrong, Riot dislike orgs that have their whole investments depended on cryptos and nfts not the orgs that have "some" investment.

i don’t think that matters as much. riot is mostly focusing on the orgs itself.

S8uL doesnt want to be in franchise. https://twitter.com/8bit_thug/status/1539274046705061888?t=GJ1ljuzU1ShuCW1QSilltg&s=19

CR is way richer than NTH

have 12 slots and add PSJ & chinese team(if valorant gets released there). perfection

But if niether GE and VLT got the slot than its highly likely S8ul might send application or join hands with either one of them or both

PSJ over all SEA team if u compare about all money, supporters, and financial

Persjia one of biggest football team in ASIA..huge and loyal fanbase, good financial and many sponsorship

No way SA is getting a slot.
Maybe if s8ul tries with VLT/GE they will otherwise no chance

jimjam789 [#35]

If any team gets it, it's GE. They have struggled the most and have already invested alot into this venture. Vlt on the other hand maybe be an org but the owner isn't fully dedicated to the team so GE is a much better bet since they are the ones who are going to stay in the scene for the long term. Also they are the only ones who have managed to participate in APac every opportunity they got, ofcourse they play terrible but it's the best show india can put up so far.

Sorry to break your bubble but franchising doesnt care how good you perform or how long you had been in the enviroment, riot just wants orgs that have financial stability to sustain themselves for the longer run like 30-40 years although the franchising crontracts will change every 4 years, on top of that riot wants orgs that have large fanbase and tbh I also dont see any SA org get slot expect s8ul as a single org to get the franchised slot although they might get after joining hands with other org and not its not the best india can put so far as the old ge was basically 3v5 but the new ge will atleast be 4v5 and will be the best india could put
