EMEA teams for franchising leaks

#1

Mortadelo

According to Spanish leaker Lembo, he has agreed with other leakers from the scene that this list of teams has made it to the second phase of the selection of franchising. This doesn't mean that teams that are not here haven't made it, means that the ones that are have made it. For the next phase, teams will have to physically go to Berlin and explain their project, also this phase is when the money and sustainability of the teams start counting. In the end, only 10 teams can make it through. The list is:

G2, FNC, TL, VIT, NAVI, BIG, BBL, ROGUE, EXCEL, FPX, Falcons, KCorp, KOI, Giants, and Heroic

Edit: Forgot to also add Heretics lol

Thoughts?

I mean, yeah thats true, but my guess is that they have good relations with riot (LEC) and they want to get into valorant with the safety net with franchise, since its less risky for an org getting in kind of late in the game competitive start.

There are some rumors that Heroic might buy M3C roster. Rogue is really a surprise but W for valorant scene anyway

Not being in the list doesn't mean not being in. it's a list of confirmed teams not of discarded ones

acend get their money from crypto and guild doesn't have much money compared to others so i really dont see them getting in either way

acend is a shit org they only exist because of a poker website

also acend (as a namefor the org) only exists because riot doesn't allow gambling etc. in team names

Yes, they are. Every org is allowed to apply for 2 different regions, even if they only make it trough 1

Yeah I dunno why an org that had never invested in Valo gets more opportunity than others who had committed. Relationship is above evrything it seems.
