as much as i want a franchised org that reps ph, i want them to get cut. they got a shady ceo, kick/gambling/saudi sponsors and most of all, razzie binx as a content creator, cringe af
although prx have a lot of money i personally think prx is shady but i might be wrong
teams like secret and zeta are not surviving it
either koi or giantx is getting cut
c9/eg/100t/nrg
tyloo
jdg
gl0b0l, havent even made a single playoff lmfao
secret, nepo org dont deserve a spot
dfm, they have been better but still that performance in 2024 warrants one
ts(not even pinoy team)
ge(minor region)
dfm(smaller team/fanbase than zeta)
drx(one of korean could be cut, drx is smallest among korean team)
rrq(underperform)
Tbf I think even if it's not GE, there will be atleast one South Asian org. With OG leaving valorant, I don't know who will be a better option than GE. That being said, if they don't make playoffs next two years in row, they are getting cut.
I honestly don't know man. I don't think any of the Korean teams deserve to get cut tbf. If it's 8 team partnership probably 3 KR + 1 JP + 3 SEA + 1 SA or 2 KR + 1 JP + 4 SEA + 1 SA
Pretty sure they are not dropping PRX
They bring in the big number
You will need that in the long term
Infact, as much as I dislike PRX, them being shit is actually bad for Pacific
VLT is another option from SA
when franchising was introduced GE and VLT were 2 orgs from wh 1 hv to be selected so riot choose GE , if GE cutoff from franchising probably VLT will come
If one of them has to go it's between DRX/GEN.G
DRX has the history, was in the scene since the start, etc
GEN.G are a bigger org and they have a recent masters title
ig they will keep all korean teams and probably all of the teams will be renewed and if any team gets kicked then probably a team from that region will take their place
S8UL does nothing for esports in India , they are more link entertainment org , rather VLT deserved more then S8UL
and abt partnership S8UL got EWC and they will probably play in pubg or cdm and i think GE never was offered EWC offer
