Riot Nepotism part 99999
Now we know for sure GenG and T1 are getting in too LOL
I didnt even read georges report
I took 2 seconds to read a vlr post and took it for face value, then took another 5 seconds to shitpost about it on vlr
We are not the same
Also, If we're being real and pragmatic here, I heard Riot already soft locked teams for franchising in every league, why would TSM have any sort of preliminary interest on Optic's roster if there is 0 advancement in franchising talks?
My man you are reaching now.
Nearly all teams currently still in the running are doing preliminary talks with other organizations about potential trades or purchases of players and staff. TSM is not the only one having interest in the OpTic roster and OpTic are still hopeful to get in which is why the keyword is interest. Preliminary interest is common when switching to franchise model cause organizations who are still in the running or in negotiations have a higher power. If one org is told something negative in a meeting they of course think their chances are lowered, although they would not know this until Riot releases the teams they have decided on. Soft lock should be used lightly here. Riot is doing one hell of a job to not look like they are favoring current or former partners from League. They are looking at all the things necessary for an organization to operate and help make their partnership program successful. Luckily some of the teams they already know well have all the boxes checked out.
