Guys, can T1 get franchised by Riot?

And if not, who's most likely get franchised in NA by Riot?

no /closed

T1 gets punished for leaving Korean scene behind

They'll prolly get franchised in like kr or smtng
As for na, it'll prolly be teams like sen, optic, 100t, tsm, faze etc.

I hope they dont, since they didnt do nothing and didnt invest nothing since the start of Valorant.

I hope other teams get that spot

guaranteed
optic
sen
c9

high chance
tsm
the guard
NRG

Organizations like T1 and FPX have basically a 100% chance to get franchised, it’s just whether they can make it into the league of their choosing

I hope they'll get K1ng from DRX and move to KR
That'll be a great move imo

fucking hate T1 that they abandoned korea and did fuck all in NA and they get a franchising spot instead of other teams

They can get K1ng and Xzi to move back and franchise in KR imo

I think Gen.G will go to APAC and T1 will stay in NA

I think Gen.G will go to APAC and T1 will stay in NA

Maybe T1 will move back to Korea? Would be cool if they got Xzi/Sylvan/K1ng

BBL_Wtcn [#15]

Faze? 100T?

i honestly wouldnt be surprised if 100t dont make it tbf

Hate the org but they did the right thing because there's only 1 slot in that region. Atleast they can get better viewership than in Korea.

TSM and 100T are guaranteed, IDK why Guard would have a strong chance if they have such a weak fanbase

BBL_Wtcn [#15]

Faze? 100T?

Faze won't make it, their org lost 30% value in the past week according to their stocks

the guard have a MASSIVE backer, if they can prove that they can sustain a fanbase they should easily get by.
also the guard are part of the OW league (not by name but still connected, LA gladiators i think) this shows that the org has experience with franchising

why xzi lol there's so much better talent

V1 a pretty big backer too but they won't get a franchising spot

nah, American teams were already loaded with talent and competition. sure, kr had 1 slot but there was Berlin 2 slots and lcq, which were objectively easier to get than competing for a spot in na.
