tbf its not so unlikely, Mouz has a very strong team this year but Fokus and SGE are also very strong aswell, the team that comes on top of the 4 major teams (SGE, Mouz, CGN and Fokus) has a very good chance winning ascension bcs the only real opposition is BBLPCFIC

i dont think anyone can stop BCF this year. ComeBack is the final boss, but i really do hope to see MOUZ in Tier 1 asap

True, but German Val community is huge or not ?
LEC has german org (like SK), but the crowd isn't full of german org's fans.

Na'Vi or GX could be out, i don't see their value on the league srry. Riot could try MOUZ/SK and Gentle Mates (huge viewership)

GX 100% should be out, Navi im biased but from the outside it seems they have no aspirations to invest in the Valorant roster. It's painful to be fan of a mediocre team

Riot could try Spirit and Virtus.pro instead. Na'Vi as an org doesn't belong in franchise anyway, and we can kick KOI for failing to build a competitive team for 3 years straight. VP and Spirit are both rich orgs too

Both are CS2 and Dota 2 orgs who don't play in much other esports. MOUZ or SK Gaming are top options as they both have shown interest in Valorant and SK are part of the LEC. VP are rich but Riot probably wouldn't pick them. I don't see another Eastern European team in the league until war is over and they can start a tier 2 league.

both orgs are russian, vp got acquired by armenian investors just to mask the russian connections, while Spirit are still russian org but operating in serbia

Fokus and CGN actually have quite big communities and orgs like Mouz and SGE could also easily gather some fans
