What is your opinions on Franchises for games?

/Title. Also if you did not know a franchise is a certain amount of teams that represent a place like New York or London and are sponsored by an org. A good example is the CoD League or the Overwatch League

Trash

trash concept, i like it when its just the name of the org.

bad

for cod and for overwatch it's good because there are a certain amount of teams, but there are so many valorant teams it would get annoying.

good for orgs and riot, bad for players and fans

Potentially good for the stability of an esport - yet not for players themselves and fans (and most of all, upcoming teams and players)

That being said, valorant is at such an early stage of the esport scene that franchising right now would be absolutely terrible.

New teams spring up constantly, teams that were widely considered the best in their region (looking at you G2 and TSM) fall very hard very quickly. Since the scene is so new it's constantly in flux. Making the league franchised would harm this very badly, making it much harder for new and upcoming teams to break into the top, and allowing worse teams to stay in the big leagues for way too long.

Knowing riot I wouldn't be surprised if a franchised league came to the game, but I'm sure it won't happen in the near future, it wouldn't make any sense.

bad if it is a system without relegation (like current LCS/LEC).
good if there;s a pyramid system like the premier league football

Nice

OH BOY DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU

very trash...

That's the dumbest part about the esports, trying to make it like real sports when there is no natural geographical connection

a true prophet
what a legend

Franchise in Valorant in nice because it allow T2 teams to compete. But franchise league in LOL is the opposite.
