Heroic? Alliance? Ence? Guild also has scandinavian roots, as their core has always been Swedish

I agree, but realistically Heretics, KOI, Vitality and KCorp all have way more potential or are bigger already. Many of those orgs you mentioned are relatively small compared to some of the big orgs here or lack proper fanbase. And are usually only known for like 1 game. ENCE most known from CSGO and even still they aren't that popular, especially after they went international. Heroic kind of same to my understanding. They are big in CSGO, but still far less popular than teams like Astralis. Guild isn't that known and are mainly known from Rocket League, Fortinite and Valorant if I'm not wrong. And Alliance is pretty known, but again I don't know how much of that is outside of Dota2(?).
Just looking at Twitter followers that obviously isn't everything (main Twitter accounts:
Heretics - 1 million
KOI - 617k (backed by one of the biggest Twitch streamers, hosts events etc)
Vitality - 680k (have crazy dedicated fanbase)
KCorp - 362k (backed by biggest French streamer? and also hosts events)
Heroic - 84k
Alliance - 255k
ENCE - 96k
Guild - 122k
so even based on those its clear that Heretics, KOI, Vitality and KCorp are higher on list for Riot.
And Fnatic is already representing VRL Polaris (Nordics + UK) in a way by being UK org. And the population of Scandinavia/Nordics is low and even the popularity of Valorant is relatively low. Just look at VRL Polaris viewerships compared to French or Spanish for example.
So I think its understandable and ok. Just need to hope that these orgs actually get international rosters with best possible players instead of investing too much into their represented countries and being biased by nationalities.

It doesn't matter what they are known for in esport. Its founded by Ibai and Gerard Pique. The fact that they already have 617 000 followers on Twitter while being established in December of 2021 already shows that. Also KOI matches usually get some of the highest viewerships in tier 2 LoL and Valorant. And they are joining LEC (LoL EU tier 1) next year by merging with Rogue. Org like Guild isn't much next to them. Just fact even if its sad.
