I think that they would start with only taking out 1 of the orgs because it would probably be easier with a renewal rather than creating a brand new contract for a brand new official partner, but again im not sure about how it works so im excited to see what happens

as a fan of navi, I just do not think they deserve a vct slot. Their eastern european presence isn't nearly as huge as people think, their vct management has been lackluster, and their esports manager is making bad decisions even in cs

also true, them getting the fpx core was a massive W but then everything after that.... I am also 100% positive they got the fpx core just because of angel's nationality

most of them are in CS, no one gives two shits about val in Ukraine, so navi haven't done anything to create a fan or playerbase there. The difference is insane:
CS NAVI: mentioned in Ukrainian Language books (texts about esport and their victory at the Copenhagen major), congratulations from Oleksandr Zinchenko (Ukrainian National FOotball Team captain), Volodymyr Zelenskyy (President), Ermak (head of the office of the government), 2nd biggest sports club in Ukraine (Only behind Shakhtar Donetsk, the current Champions of the Ukrainian Football Premier league)
navi valorant: 404

they should just become a CS roster only org

Eastern Europe's main esport is CS and always will be CS

thing is, navi doesn't want to be seen as an Eastern European org, they want to be more Western European. No more russian in their vlogs, prefer not to sign russians at all, they just isolate themselves from the Russians. Which is why a lot of Russians are now against navi

It's impossible in APAC and hard in EMEA, that would mean leaving a market behind, and that will kill the scene in this country, longtermwise it's a suicide.

But it would be good in Amer or CN that have fewer than 5 marketso they are margin.

The only way 6 would be doable for APC, would be to split in 2 with Pacific (KR+JP+OCE) and Asia (SEA+SA + maybe another thing like CIS or MENA) so SEA doesnt lost their market, and Oceania can finally have a spot in T1 (3KR, 2JP, 1 OCE)

I'd like to laugh at this thread but then I realized that out of most franchised threads on vlr this is very much in Riot is the likeliest to do this.

Where do you get this "leak"? The probability is low anyways

it was not a leak leo faria said they're contemplating the possibilities of the next franchising contract and they could have less fixed spots and more rotating ones
but its just speculation for now is still soon nothing confirmed

I think they will remain 10
There was no leak it was just speculation frmm Leo on tarik stream in finals
He said they can reduce slots and bring back franchising and allow T2 teams to masters and champions
That was all could happen
It would be stupid to remove 10 slots just refresh every 5 years and have 2 slots for tier 2 and bring back LCQ and give chance for T2 teams in lcq
