Why G2 IN AMERICAS?

#1

If I'm not mistaken g2 overall is set in Europe, however val vct g2 is in americas. Why are they not in emea, wouldn't it be easier to manage or is this an early method of branching out.

They had an EMEA Team that was supposed to get into Franchising but the Manager or something went partying with the Tate Brothers. Riot didnt let them in Players went too different EMEA Teams.
G2 went to challengers in NA and then bought The Guard Spot in Franchising.

I'm pretty sure they were supposed to get an NA spot and were going to buy the xset roster and that C9 was the backup org for their spot which is why they made it in. Also it was the ceo I believe, not the manager

It doesn't matter where the org is from, it's just the players. Like many org will have players from other countries but due to limitations will just keep them there and participate in their local or regional tournament. I dont know much about FPX but I do know they played mainly in Europe before franchising same thing with G2 and I know Liquid has a lot of Brazilian teams although being in Europe

forgot where I heard this from (PlatChat?) but supposedly G2 branched to NA for money: the advertising market there is insane compared to EU, more potential for sponsorships
