EDG is a chinese org, and i dont think northeption is a large org, crazy racoon would be better as they have a massive fanbase

For japanese franchising you would need to be a japanese org lol, edg is chinese and as far as im aware china doesnt have any slots. And im pretty sure cr have solid funding and they have an enormous fanbase

The problem is VALORANT has not been officially released yet in China, EDG or any other Chinese org will have to wait before they get their own league.

For Japan, Crazy Raccoon and Zeta Division are locks. Sengoku, Reject, DetonatioN, and Fennel would be a possible third.

lack of funding id imagine, stipends can only do so much for a financially unstable org, also northeption dont have a massive fanbase lol

It’s like Paper Rex, they have a top notch team and a decent size fan base, although it’s still smaller then CR or Zeta’s though, but will lose out to bigger orgs that have more sustainability. Seoldam also is pretty much the only reason the project even made it this far. They’re a good org but don’t have the funding for franchising.

Even if Crazy Racoon have a trash VALORANT team, they are still the most popular Japanese org in Japan.

Also is it a hot take to say Bleed don’t make franchising? They’ve dropped their Academy team recently and have never had anything to do with the GC scene. The org as well has failed to create any kind of fanbase or hype. Money matters a lot but it isn’t everything, the only way I could see them making it is if they buyout the whole Paper Rex roster.

They hosted a lan tournament with a decent sized crowd that was completely full, and they have hella money, they can get a fanbase by picking up a f/a team like m3c or the other inevitable casualties of franchising, though they definitely arent a guaranteed lock, especially with their lack of presence in gc
