So how did Brazil get three slots in VCT franchising despite being the worst valorant nation in the entire world? All three teams are consistently at the bottom of the rankings since the start of franchising era.
There is a reason Brazil has 3 slots. The idea of franchising teams are riot giving permanent? spots for orgs they TRUST. Of course Riot is going to trust FURIA and MIBR bc they were big orgs in Counter strike (I think pls correct me if im wrong). Also Brazil has a big fanbase (Not bigger than NA but still huge)
Franchise Orgs have a 4 year contract that will be up for renew/reevaluation in 2027. So say an org like EG collapses (due to the state theyre in, just an example) the slot will be replaced with another org, same could be said with Furia, MIBR, other orgs in other regions who didn't seem to put effort into investing
Old Loud with Sacy and Aspas was an example of an actual impressive brazillian roster. Right now i feel like the talent is being diluted among teams that don't know how to use them.
Aspas on LEV is not getting the same amount of support he did with LOUD, and Saadhak is not having the shooters that would enable his calling. It's like taking a sniper rifle away from a seasoned sniper and giving it to a rookie.
Mibr is just shitting the bed idk what's happening there.
