when franching started which team did you not wish to be in franchising
either be americas/EU/apac
Americas: MIBR - I still don't understand Riot's rationale there. I can at least somewhat wrap my head around EG because of their LCS team and bailing Riot out of the Echo Fox situation but I still wasn't a big fan of that one either. I know Hecz from Optic has now admitted publicly they didn't do a good job with their application and interview with Riot but they should be in the league
Pacific: RRQ - They were a mistake from the beginning, felt like Riot purely picked them to have an Indonesian org. Should've been Boom or a 3rd Japanese team
EMEA: no complaints. I guess maybe the Spanish org representation is a bit much and Giants or Heretics should've maybe missed the cut but I get it. Would've been nice to see a DACH org involved but both of those orgs are doing a good job in my mind even with some missteps this year from Heretics this year
Pacific
GE - mf farms everything 5k retweets just to announce players that alrdy on the team lmao + get spot just bcuz riot think they can get more viwers from 1.4 billion people who not even watch PC game ,i prefer give the spot to Vietnam/Mongolian.
DFM - Crazy Raccoon more deserve it
RRQ - shit orgs with Delusional Cringe fans
Giants for sure. I'm aware not many people care but they have Burger King and Nestle as their sponsors which is a huge L and mainly the reason why I don't like them. I don't think those kind of brands should be advertized and supported by any esports org and riot.
Also to be mentioned, FUT beeing sponsered by KFC.
Americas: MiBR - initially had the worst lineup on paper and never really accomplished anything, also BR didnt deserve three slots, NA should've had one more, should've include Faze, Optic or TSM instead
Pacific: -RRQ, -DTN, -Talon
+Xerxia, +Bleed, +Boom edit: also forgot crazy racoons
EMEA: Koi never achieved anything before franchising, KC never achieved anything before franchising, BBL I felt like wasnt very exciting but there werent many other options tbh
FPX shouldve been there but i dont remember if it was their decision to move to china, shouldve had G2 but they decided to move to NA,
instead get Guild and Acend in there for sure and then maybe instead of BBL - OGLU, BiG or even SMB but BBL seems like a better choice tbh.
