EMEA teams for franchising leaks

According to Spanish leaker Lembo, he has agreed with other leakers from the scene that this list of teams has made it to the second phase of the selection of franchising. This doesn't mean that teams that are not here haven't made it, means that the ones that are have made it. For the next phase, teams will have to physically go to Berlin and explain their project, also this phase is when the money and sustainability of the teams start counting. In the end, only 10 teams can make it through. The list is:

G2, FNC, TL, VIT, NAVI, BIG, BBL, ROGUE, EXCEL, FPX, Falcons, KCorp, KOI, Giants, and Heroic

Edit: Forgot to also add Heretics lol

Thoughts?

no suprises

Pretty safe list, no big surprises.

The surprises are Heroic and Rogue cause they don't have roster imo

Navi will buy m3c

Mortadelo [#4]

they probably sign guild (with maybe small changes) and M3C

Mortadelo [#4]

I mean, yeah thats true, but my guess is that they have good relations with riot (LEC) and they want to get into valorant with the safety net with franchise, since its less risky for an org getting in kind of late in the game competitive start.

Mortadelo [#4]

There are some rumors that Heroic might buy M3C roster. Rogue is really a surprise but W for valorant scene anyway

Not being in the list doesn't mean not being in. it's a list of confirmed teams not of discarded ones

x_t1x [#11]

there is no way big gets there over vitality

yeah switch big for vitality and falcons for rouge and i think this is accurate

Mortadelo [#12]

Not being in the list doesn't mean not being in. it's a list of confirmed teams not of discarded ones

acend get their money from crypto and guild doesn't have much money compared to others so i really dont see them getting in either way

Mapusaurus [#13]

yeah switch big for vitality and falcons for rouge and i think this is accurate

swap vitality for kcorp their fanbase is european equivalent to sentinels fans

crows [#15]

acend is a shit org they only exist because of a poker website

also acend (as a namefor the org) only exists because riot doesn't allow gambling etc. in team names

crows [#15]

swap vitality for kcorp their fanbase is european equivalent to sentinels fans

nah he already put kc there

crows [#17]

Raise your Edge was the real name yeah

hellohello139 [#5]

Navi will buy m3c

Navi will never sign an Russian roster

Mapusaurus [#13]

yeah switch big for vitality and falcons for rouge and i think this is accurate

i think riot will want to have a MENA team in franchise and that's why they gonna take falcons in

x_t1x [#22]

i think riot will want to have a MENA team in franchise and that's why they gonna take falcons in

falcons are literally sponsored by adidas they have a shit ton of money rito doesnt really care about diversity

Rogue and Heroic, big names that can buy any team if they get the spots. Interesting

Wasn't G2 trying for the NA slot?

NwithanL [#25]

Wasn't G2 trying for the NA slot?

rito said no to them like in LOL in 2017

ntnoob [#21]

Navi will never sign an Russian roster

Navi is useless without CIS so they need to
But ur right

NwithanL [#25]

Wasn't G2 trying for the NA slot?

Yes, they are. Every org is allowed to apply for 2 different regions, even if they only make it trough 1

rogue doesnt deserve to get in

no_noise_979 [#29]

rogue doesnt deserve to get in

true but riot cares about money

no_noise_979 [#29]

rogue doesnt deserve to get in

Yeah I dunno why an org that had never invested in Valo gets more opportunity than others who had committed. Relationship is above evrything it seems.

Guild Sadge

Rogue buying GLD players would be sick though

Overall safe list

crows [#6]

they probably sign guild (with maybe small changes) and M3C

By small changes do you mean guild -russ?

Pretty good list, however I'm sad for Guild and Acend. I thought they’d make it.

ColdWKey [#35]

Pretty good list, however I'm sad for Guild and Acend. I thought they’d make it.

I hope Rogue buys Guild players if they make it through

minte [#36]

I hope Rogue buys Guild players if they make it through

I hope so as well. The team has a lot of potential.
