If Riot are smart

Riot should already reserve one franchise slot for KCORP. It would be foolish not to to secure a large fanbase.

It doesn’t matter how big the org is most competitive teams will get franchise

If they're a big org with large fan base it would be a criteria for franchising i bet. If these big org suck they can always replace players ect, they have the money and resources to do so.

if riot was smart they would try to make these regional leagues 24 teams each at least, having 10-12 teams tournaments/leagues doesnt make any sense tbh, the more teams the better, more orgs will invest in the game probably, they should give partnership to:

• FPX, G2, Liquid, Fnatic, Guild, NaVi, OG LDN UTD (probably OG will buy LDN UTD roster they obviously wont use their dogshit french vrl roster), Acend, Gambit (or whoever signs their roster if they sell their roster like csgo), BBL, Vitality, BIG, MAD Lions, Karmine Corp, EXCEL, Alliance, Mouz, BDS, KOI, Giants, Heretics.
• They give parternship to these orgs and VCT viewership in EMEA will increase at least 200% no doubts, then give maybe 4-6 slots in open qualifiers which is about the same they already give and then you get best teams + most stacked orgs + insane french viewership + insane turkish viewership + insane spansih viewership + insane viewership from other world class team/orgs
• Only teams from LEC missing are Misfits, Rogue, Astralis and SK. Astralis is in shambles financially, SK has been dead for ages, Misfits probably gonna go to NA and Rogue could potentially buy out M3C or Acend roster if Acend doesnt get partnership so you get all your LEC partners happy.

Fnatic guarenteed so I'm chilling. Best UK fanbase is with FNC
