How many teams will be in each league?
10 ? 12? 16? def not more than 16 as its all LAN and will cost riot massively

Guaranteed spots for NA are:
TSM & CLOUD9 ( both have 3 rosters main acad GC ) that supported the scene massively
T1 ( owns NSG and have acad team and realtionship in LOL )
Sentinals ( viewers and fan base also support the scene from viewers )
Optic ( wealthy ORG and have been here from the start and top 1 team in NA )
100T ( no way they are not in, ORG with 0 shady stuff and really cool org ( ratted on steel but riot desont care )
The others spots are all for grabs but above spots are guaranteed

so its 10 teams league, 4 more teams to choose from ( a lot of teams will be mad )

if its 16 then we have plenty and every deserved team will get one

Personally I think its gonna be 16 teams league since riot want to go big with VALORANT esport

For EU it might be like this

but its very tough for EU since they have to include all regions and if its 10 teams only then world war 3 will start since only 5-6 eu teams will be chosen

I don't know how much vrl will be considered since they're probably looking not specifically for good teams but for big orgs with a lot of funding behind them as well, so maybe if you see a team like surreal from last season make it into challengers, they'd probably favor orgs like vitality, heretics anyways

Basically all the LCS orgs are offered a spot and maybe V1, knights and T1 in NA

not sure about knights, idk how much funding they have for riot to trust them, but ig the knights monthly's are something. I still think nrg guard xset luminosity and even faze to be favored
