franchising agreements

this is the last year that all the franchise teams have on their current franchise contracts. at the end of this year (or maybe next year) riot reviews each team and decides who stays and who goes right? or am i being crazy

if im right, who do you see being removed from each region?

americas: LEV or C9 out, G2 and another LATAM team in
cn: AG out, i dunno, they've made the least amount of impact on the region both performance and prescence wise, probs add Rare Atom
emea: im not sure who you kick out here, but I would add Apeks in as a franchise team due to their commitment to the game
pacific: GE out, im not sure what their social media prescence is like in india, but ik there are alot of indian orgs with indian talent that would be better for the representation of the region.

MOst of the teams would renew the contracts unless they are in huge lose

Dont u mean at the end of 2027?

probably ge?

emea would need a german org for some german representation, we have incredible orgs: Fokus, been here forever, biggest german fan scene, most successful and wealthiest german org, been in T1 before franchise and invested alot in Valorant aswell as having an ascension contending squad rn, Mouz, same as Fokus, huge success in CS and have incredible scouting talent which could bring more german talents to T1, Eintrach Fokus, huge org, very wealthy org, could build incredible teams, have the most successful full german player team in history of Val, CGN, been here for many years, had the one and only Benny on Phoenix, huge and very active fan scene, SK, been only here for 1 year but is very wealthy and is in LoL in the emea league and many more orgs

If I would do emea:

Keep: Fnatic, KC, Koi, Liquid, Navi, Fut, Heretics, Vitality
New Partner: M8, Fokus/BBL
Guest Slots: Fokus/BBL, Apeks

Gentle Mates seem like an obvious addition to the partnership program, invested in tier 2 and have great viewership.
I could see them keeping 2 turkish orgs because of how big the turkish market can be, although BBL have had some issues.

EMEA im pretty sure no one gets replaced unless they leave out of their own will. Thing is EMEA has too many good orgs outside of franchising deserving of a spot in franchising.

praying that Lev gets booted....Riot picked you as a LATAM contender, not so you could finance another year of C0m in franchising

It isn't the last year, you're probably confused cause it's till 2026, but it's until the off season of 2026, so this year and 1 more

It was 4 years, we're in the begging of the third

2027.

GE is the only sensible org in India for PC eSports and maybe VLT but they too seem to just pull out of vct a lot , other orgs are looking good to you because they started with an outburst of money and used that to keep themselves alive however that money ran out now and so they pulled out of valorant atleast temporarily, ge is the only sustainable org that is into pc gaming right now in India , the other good orgs are in primarily mobile gaming which the entire country is a big fan of and there's a chance so the pc valorant part won't get good attention from them also did i mention the only sensible fan base in Indian orgs belongs to GE, other orgs fanbase ( a lot of them) are extremely toxic and just blockheads who think they know about eSports tho they dont

Indian valorant has no future in franchising sadly

When there's one indian playing 12 hours a day, there's 5 korean playing 12 hours a day

No commitment, they want an easy life playing a game for a living that's why they lack passion as well
