Do you think some players actually got lucky that there org got a Franchise Slot. Like some people are playing in franchising coz there org got a League slot
Some Players like
C9 retained player like Vanity and Leaf would never have been picked up by a Franchise Team if C9 didn't get a Slot
From Evil Genius players like Com and Boostio
SkRossi and LF From global eSports
EJAY emman from RRQ
Many more Players
Name APAC players who are not already on franchising but would perform significantly better than SkRossi?
I can only think of rDeew from ex-ORDER and sScary who made his own choice to join Bleed.
All the players in APAC ascension are either slightly better or probably equal to Rossi. All the top teams in APAC before franchising managed to put their players into a franchised roster.
PRX - In franchising
TS - In franchising
XER - In franchising, Surf got replaced by arguably better players, sScary himself joined bleed.
ONIC - All their top players are in franchising.
BOOM - Top players in franchising.
DRX - Got into franchising
Top players from other Korean teams like texture and meteor still managed to get into franchising.
ZETA made it.
ORDER had 2 notable players, WRONSKI and rDeew, one of which made it to franchising.
All other APAC teams were quite mid against these "top" teams. SkRossi managed to maintain a positive KD despite playing with a literal bot and losing 9-3 against the other APAC teams. Even if it was a Bo1 (GXR invitational) you can clearly see that Rossi is able to go up against players like Deryon and Juicy easily on LAN. They might be more consistent or better but I don't see picking up a slightly worse player with so much more to offer on other fronts for a franchised team.
After all PRX picked up patiphan just for the viewership.
99% of the p[ayers in APAC franchise are deserving and proven themselves to be capable of franchising. I think NA and EMEA has much bigger problems than APAC.
