What's next for M80 (org)

Do they try again? or just call it quits?, especially now that from 2026 you are only guaranteed 1 year if you ascend

They are basically the biggest T2 NA org next to MxS, they have alot of rebuild potential even if they lose zander, koalanoob or Nismo

they will most likely rebuild, looks like -koala -nismo
in general the org looks to be in a better spot than most, their R6 team is budget but still making good progress and attending top tournaments, CS team is looking better and better while budget, only team yet to make it big is Val which they are close to. I don't think this will end the Val team

Their R6 team is not budget at all lmao. They spend a ton of money on their R6 team compared to other orgs.

dang, I am not super caught up on R6 and I didn't recognize anyone on the team so I assumed, that's my bad.
either way their Valorant project shouldn't have been such a massive loss considering how much support they got, and their CS team is doing fantastic. plus even if their R6 team isn't budget, they are still making tournaments so I think their Valorant division will be fine overall. Thanks for the correction though!

There is only 1 year guaranteed, the better placed team between the two ascended team will retain the spot.

Not just better, the team has to place high enough, can't remember specific number. The only time it's based on which team is better is if both make it. Both teams can be relegated or sent back to ascension

What’s left for org to invest in tier 2?
1 year promotion is pretty useless.

Before you got relegated back to Challengers no matter what, now you can keep your spot indefinitely if you make champs or win ascension again.

You’re right, but it feels like they fixed 5 problems and created 10 more

honestly what are the odds they get to be a partnered team instead of an EG or C9 from 2026 or whenever the franchise contracts end?

I believe it’s end of 2026 start of 2027 yeah. It’ll be tough because:

A) EG and C9 may bail them selves out somehow
B) the competition is pretty appealing too, e.g. optic, tsm, flyquest, shopify, g2 (assuming they get relegated in 2025 or 2026)

Even if g2 isn't relegated I could see them definitely wanting to become a franchised team and not ascension
