So I was just browsing twitter and saw a vedio saying its valorant partnership programme not franchising and the vedio also talked that because riot is paying teams to stay in the programme maybe they will get less, could it be possible that unlike tradational league we will have 1 slot from open qualifiers ?

I doubt there will be a promotion league, at least in the first year of the system, I'm sure quite a few small orgs would've stuck around if there was. Also that video saying it's technically a partnership not 'franchising' is dumb cause only the wealthiest organizations will still get in.
When organizations like The Guard are offering Riot an entire ass stadium, what is an org like Akrew funded off of Animal Crossing Ebay supposed to do?
Having 1 slot per region may help but only selected teams get invited (teams that apply for franchising but didnt make final cut)
Then having relegation slots for the worst teams in each league. Bottom 4 from Americas play 2 from NA 1 Br and 1 Latam. 8 team double elim. top 4 go to the league bot 4 go to regional leagues aka tier 2. I feel like it may give more of a chance for relegation to show new and upcoming teams, It also means teams not performing, Like eg in CS who are still in esl pro league will drop out and teams like the guard who this year came out of no where can take the spotlight. Relegation must be included at some point. this is just my take. Might be confusing
