Is there relegation this first year? I thought they were going to keep adding teams to franchising through ascension and only then would relegation be a thing

There's no relegation. It's called partnership for a reason. As long as teams perform to the standards Riot have given per whatever agreement they have in order to be partnered, they will remain in the league.

However, Riot does keep an eye on the teams' actions.

Wait I thought partnership and franchise was the same as people were using those 2 words so synonymously lmao.

Nope, it's still a common misconception even until today.

Franchising eludes to teams buying up a spot in the league. The model is being used mostly with League of Legends and the Overwatch League.

Partnership is Riot's new system where instead of teams buying up a spot, the teams apply for it according to certain criterias and standards Riot had set. Once approved, alongside the organisation's own financial and social status, Riot also help with yearly investments, lets say.

There's no relegation in VCT, mate. If I'm not mistaken, teams are in the league for 4 years with the new Ascension teams promoting to VCT during this time.

In 4 years if someone is shit, Riot manually kicks them out, there is no relegation tho
