Who do you think will get the slots for the americas "franchise"? Riot will give priority to the teams that are in the current stage of the VCT + the teams that are already part of the League of Legends franchises, we already know more or less the organizations that will enter based on the criteria of the LoL franchises with some important changes and additional criteria (Note: The Valorant franchise is totally different than the League of Legends, it is an international franchise (not domestic) where organizations will probably have to have structure to move the team across the continent of the league at each stage).
I think the distribution of slots will be as follows: 16 teams in total, 8 teams from NA, 5/4 teams from Brazil and 3/4 teams from LATAM.
That is my opinion of the organizations that are going to participate in the franchises - NA/BR/LATAM organizations that are probably already confirmed in the franchises:
- TSM (NA)
- 100T (NA)
- Cloud9 (NA)
- Optic (NA)
- FaZe (NA)
- FURIA (BR)
- NIP (BR)
- MIBR (BR)
- KRU (LATAM)
- 9z (LATAM)
NA/BR/LATAM organizations that have a good chance of getting in:
- LOUD (BR)
- Pain Gaming (BR)
- Liberty (BR)
- Godsent (BR)
- T1 (NA)
- EG (NA)
- Gen.G (NA)
- Sentinels (NA)
- XSET (NA)
- Luminosity (NA)
- Gillete Infinity (LATAM)
- Leviatán (LATAM)
NA/BR/LATAM organizations that will have to show riot a sick project to get in:
- Fluxo (BR)
- Los Grandes (BR)
- Gamelanders (BR)
- Vivo Keyd (BR) (Riot doesn't like VK so I put it here)
- Red Canids (BR)
- NRG (NA)
- CLG (NA)
- Dignitas (NA)
- The Guard (NA)
- Knights (NA)
- Version1 (NA)
- Soniqs (NA)
- Complexity (NA)
- Optix Moviestar (LATAM)
- Furious Gaming (LATAM)
- Isurus (LATAM)
- XTEN (LATAM)
- E-Xolos Lazer (LATAM)
