I wouldn’t be shocked. They’ve recently won the Major in Siege and the ALGS, they’ve been in Valorant for a somewhat long time, they make content, they presumably have good financials given they keep a high tier 2 Valorant team. Riot could be open to new brands in their league, what do you think?

DarkZero could actually be getting franchising

charizard_123 [#3]who are you placing them over then?
Faze, NRG, V1, Guard(?), Knights, Ghost, Soniqs, Complexity
Yeetus [#4]Faze, NRG, V1, Guard(?), Knights, Ghost, Soniqs, Complexity
Ghosts, Soniqs, Complexity I could agree, I just don't see them over the other ones, and even if I did I still don't see them top 6/7 candidates
I would be pretty shocked. This means one of the big NA orgs didn’t make the cut. I think results in valorant and other riot related titles mean more for Riot than other games. Finance is also a huge bonus, which I don’t think DZ has (correct me if I’m wrong). Other orgs just have more money compared to DZ.

haha i love dz but i have nothing on na franchising yet
Yeetus [#15]anything on KR franchising?
nothing i can say publicly but apac yes
global esports is the only indian org that can possibly make it
Riot would be scraping the bottom of the barrel to bring in DarkZero, they have virtually no fanbase in valorant other than people who are really serious about the T2 NA scene, and that would mean kicking out a bigger org with more of a fanbase in valorant like SEN, 100T, NRG, XSET, FAZE, TGRD, or C9, and I'm willing to bet that other T2 teams like T1, Knights or GenG get in over DZ

I mean current fan base won’t matter too much if they get a slot. Players will join the teams with slots, so DZ can get some popular players.

and in my opinion, their branding is quite good and people would hop on the DZ hype train pretty fast if they got franchised

dz branding is insane and ive seen people call it one of the best in esports, which it is
plus, dz has some amazing talent scouting: in two months they won two international competitions in two seperate titles; r6 and apex and they could definitely make waves in val

still what exactly have DZ done to differentiate themselves from any T1 or T2 team in NA for franchising. They don't have the brand name that Optic, NRG, 100 Thieves, GenG or T1 have, they don't have international success the way Optic and Sentinels have ( or had lol), they haven't even appeared in the main event for NA challengers, and teams like Knights and T1 have hosted events to support the T2 scene. I just don't see a world where riot sees DZ as a viable contender for the slot

Soniqs have owned DZ in siege for years now, and they have recently won PUBG major with the best PUBG team itw, i dont see how DZ would be over Soniqs

old soniqs R6 is less important than current darkzero R6, Apex > PUBG , pretty ez

Nothing you can say publicly?? Do you actually work for a team or riot??

your r6 point makes no sense, SQ qualified to the berlin major in august while DZ couldnt even qualify for that https://liquipedia.net/rainbowsix/North_American_League/2022/Stage_2
DZ winning mickey mouse charlotte major doesnt mean anything
SQ R6 > DZ R6
i can agree with Apex > PUBG though
downvote me because im right?? average vlr convo
