it might actually be psg considering they have a somewhat good history in esports with TNA, Talon and LGD

especially since psg.talon is one of the most dominant teams in apac LoL

Why sad? Shit ton of horrible teams in there, no doubt they'll drop their entire roster and buyout good teams that were left out

yeah they'll probably end up getting picked up eventually but no doubt they'll get stuck in contract jail and have to be bought out. no chance acend wants to miss out on this opportunity

I really think this will happen, if new orgs will enter there's no doubt they get picked up, at least 3 of them

I think you are right. It probably depends on how well they do at LCQ.

None of these orgs should be left out. Wish there was a 16 team league. Then Id take out wildcats, heroic, psg(unidentified football club) and rogue

Yep the list is stacked because of how big of a region EMEA is. Thats why I made #9 comment, 16 teams should be ideal

Barcelona? They have a LoL team in the Spain League, i wouldn't be surprised if they want to join Valorant. Also, PSG is not a "traditional football team" lmao

MAD might ve been accepted , i was hearing many rumous about them being accepted but this list excluded them. Although the writer mentions the full list might be slightly different

We need 12 teams, 10 is bad

Damn only 1 spot for each community? Then Heretics, KOI and Giants are pretty much out. Maybe KOI can compete against G2 but unlikely

#42

wizardbot

Frags

–

KOI is 100 percent in and I can bet you for it. Also Heretics have a good chance, doubt Giants make it. Article doesnt mention that only 1 team will make it btw, it says atleast 1 team from each region

Heroic?

Fnatic, Liquid, G2, and Guild are also Nordic (in terms of roster for G2) just as BIG is DACH, even though they haven't played in the VRL system yet

#53

Olofboost

Frags

+

–

Damn
What do they consider "large community"? Is DACH or CIS one? If yes, BIG and Navi/FPX are locks

Wait, Rogue might apply as a Polish team, they have AGO ROGUE in LoL and stuff like that
Rogue might also be a lock

#56

Sprouts

0

Frags

+

–

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. OGLU or potentially Rogue are the only two Eastern teams, so at least one of them is probably a lock imo

Then AS Monaco would make more sense, since they are already partner with Gambit for Dota

Heretics fanbase is huge too but I agree and this wouldn't even be a question if Heretics hadn't just bought a LEC spot yk. Idk how much that affects, especially since is not like Heretics is not huge too or doesn't have money
