they will 100% disband cuz they wont make franchising
Daniveus [#3]guard will 100% make franchising
they wont to many big NA teams for them to be in and they have no big fanbase like 100T,SEN,OPTIC and they are not a big org at all
Matrix13e [#5]they wont to many big NA teams for them to be in and they have no big fanbase like 100T,SEN,OPTIC and they are not a big org at all
guard is rich af dont underestimate them
Daniveus [#3]guard will 100% make franchising
"100%" they are def not 100%, 100%s are def OPTIC SEN 100T, then they have to make it over orgs like NRG EG TSM FAZE C9, they have a chance but def not guaranteed
Daniveus [#6]guard is rich af dont underestimate them
no one cars that they are rich u dont have to pay to get in and riot dont care about performance they want teams with big fanbase and big org like C9,SEN,100T,OPTIC,EG,TSM
number1_ScreaM_fan [#11]they are a new org with a huge guy backing them. the future for guard as an org is looking good so riot would probably want to partner with them
"the future for guard as an org is looking good" just got 3-0d by 100T lol its not looking good at all with how many big NA teams in NA there are
Matrix13e [#12]"the future for guard as an org is looking good" just got 3-0d by 100T lol its not looking good at all with how many big NA teams in NA there are
0 iq
Daniveus [#6]guard is rich af dont underestimate them
BLEED have more money than many EMEA teams and they won't be in franchises
Matrix13e [#12]"the future for guard as an org is looking good" just got 3-0d by 100T lol its not looking good at all with how many big NA teams in NA there are
as an org not the roster smh
https://twitter.com/GeorgeCGed/status/1557470741649625095 anyways the GOAT George Geddes said who is going to make it here and his predictions and The Guard is not here.

It's not only about the fanbase, the stability of the org is also an important factor and guard has it.
They also made it to OWL franchise, these guys have more influence than u think.
chemicqls [#9]"100%" they are def not 100%, 100%s are def OPTIC SEN 100T, then they have to make it over orgs like NRG EG TSM FAZE C9, they have a chance but def not guaranteed
ye 100% is exaggerated but I think they have a very good chance
Celesthial [#14]BLEED have more money than many EMEA teams and they won't be in franchises
is that confirmed? I thought they were one of the favorites to get it.
number1_ScreaM_fan [#11]they are a new org with a huge guy backing them. the future for guard as an org is looking good so riot would probably want to partner with them
agreed!
chemicqls [#9]"100%" they are def not 100%, 100%s are def OPTIC SEN 100T, then they have to make it over orgs like NRG EG TSM FAZE C9, they have a chance but def not guaranteed
Riot really doesn't like TSM and Faze bc their finances are wack. C9 is another lock for sure. SEN isn't an org that riot likes but they're so ridiculously popular that they'll almost certainly get in too. Then we'll see from there.
Matrix13e [#12]"the future for guard as an org is looking good" just got 3-0d by 100T lol its not looking good at all with how many big NA teams in NA there are
I mean, they did make LCQ finals. Better than G2 at least.
Daniveus [#17]It's not only about the fanbase, the stability of the org is also an important factor and guard has it.

those org that he mention also have the stability, and half of them also have LEC franchise which is more important for riot than OWL.
Daniveus [#18]ye 100% is exaggerated but I think they have a very good chance
cap, there is only 6 NA teams, its very unlikely for guard to make it, I see 100T, FAZE, OPTIC, SEN and C9 making it, then one more team

Bro TSM and Faze's finances are fine
guard is backed by a really rich company, they will probably make it. and for those who think if they do, they will drop their roster, im just gonna say they won't because if there was any time that they would drop the roster, it would be after stage 2, they didnt drop anyone, meaning they believe in the team as well as myself. so imo they will make franchising and keep their roster, invest in more analysts and stuff
MainlyMelon [#4]DRX Sayaplayer When?
would be cool, but saya has been in the us for a long time, i dont think he will move to kr where he is from just to be part of a korean team tbh.
PrTsty [#25]cap, there is only 6 NA teams, its very unlikely for guard to make it, I see 100T, FAZE, OPTIC, SEN and C9 making it, then one more team
i personally dont think optic will make it because they aren't very close with riot, someone will pick up their roster 100% though
Luck_ [#31]i personally dont think optic will make it because they aren't very close with riot, someone will pick up their roster 100% though
Optic are a massive organisation and they are at the top of the Valorant scene. There is no way that having no pervious connections makes optic any less likely
Matrix13e [#10]no one cars that they are rich u dont have to pay to get in and riot dont care about performance they want teams with big fanbase and big org like C9,SEN,100T,OPTIC,EG,TSM
Riot literally said that performance would also be a factor in the decisions, not big, but still apart of it
