2023 Franchising Questions

#1

LatIneo

Will ex-M3C get signed as a full team or be part of new rosters.
Does LEV deserve to be in franchises or just the roster?
Which league will have the best viewership?

TSM owns Americas btw

Probably not full team maybe 1-3 members will join a team
Idk that's up to riot, I don't know how good Leviatan are financially/fanbase. Riot will give KRU the spot and the second LATAM one will be up for grabs, maybe from LATAM North team.
Americas obviously why is this a question

Overalll NA will have a lot more viewership than EMEA

EMEA will stay in 100-200k range while Americas will be 300-400k. APAC will start out around 100k and maybe grow to about 250k later in year

(these are all averages)

peak I think EMEA will get around 300-400k for big games like KOI/Karmine Corp/Turkish teams, NA will get around 600-700k for Sentinels/TSM games, APAC will get 300k-500k for Japan games

Probably players but i have no idea
Rumors say that LEV has some untrustable sponsors, but there is no way the roster isn't in
best viewership: america or asia bc of china

china viewership is always hard to count because chinese streaming services don't count views the same way western services do

like 1 million views on huya doesn't mean there are 1 million people actively watching the stream

NATS already left M3C
LEV deserves slot (Atleast POG VAMOS COACH aka On ur)
Obviously PACIFIC (JAPAN + SOUTH ASIA huge fan base and SEA + KOREA)
Team wise viewership Sentinels

Japan viewership is already insane. Franchising will only double it. JP + KR + CN views are going to crazy, put some APAC views in there and Asian viewership easily tops.
