17 (LPL) + 60 (LCK, LEC, LCS, PCS, CBLOL, TCL) + 32 (VCS, LLA, LJL, LCO) = 109

Valorant = 30

Not exactly, they have to pay a franchise fee to get into relations to be accepted from there riot does work with the teams but im not sure if its direct stipends.

yea riot is fully relying on the org to put up the effort in val compared to LoL where the fee is just a ticket straight to the final round of franchising where riot holds all the cards

We will not introduce team skins since we see no value in creating them.

due to the fact franchise has no entry fee, there will likely be alot of expansions as the scene grows
