Oh it's actually a loud secret that KOI wants him and he wants them. I'm like 95% sure, and I actually really hope he brings the GUILD core with him. Barbar also very familiar with Spanish scene

BIG could have made it instead of Giants, other than that I think the list is perfect, and even with that is a logical move business wise, just really unfair for dach

yeah I agree even if I'm not gonna complain obviously lol. My question is do you understand why they did it?

First of all that's a bit too much, but yeah y'all have the biggest player base, but if you knew a little bit about how this works you would realize that has nothing to do if you don't have any good orgs to back it up. You have to understand Futbolist or the rest of Turkish orgs other than BBL are just smaller

I can help, KOI (Biggest streamer in the world idk if you'rve ever heard it), Heretics second twitch world record of all time? Should I keep going?

Are you talking about players? No, we don't have the best talent nil
Are you talking about community and numbers? Yes, biggest Region in EU with the most investments by orgs.

Explanation of why every org has been picked up:

KOI, just joined LEC, has big bucks and is just absolutely , massive they pull over 100K every time they play in VRL of LOL, and they do the same in Valorant when they costreamed which being in franchising is gonna become more often

Heretics: Again, org has money, has been here since the start of Valorant, just bought a LEC spot for 50 million and they again, have some insane numbers, owner has second twitch total spectators record with 2.1 Million viewers just behind KOI's owner with 3M

Giants: Probably the hardest one to justify, but again, been here since the start, really well stablished, popular org (Just not as massive as the other two), got some money and I guess Riot liked their project and tbf the only other org that could competed with them is BIG, which would have been the most reasonable and what I thought would happen, still the decision really makes sense from a business point of view even tho it sucks for germans I'm sorry

Also this kinda reinforces the idea that RIOT has plans to move to Barcelona after the league gets established

Hope this is objective enough and I'm not being biased

I'm sorry but Spain has actually good orgs :)

Looks like you're not very into franchising. No MENA does not get a spot, Team falcons was discarded a while ago, so they are gonna have to go through VRL, which I think it's how it should, I mean LATAM NORTH, OCE, Vietnam or even Thai are not getting spots so it's clear that that's not how it works

tomorrow I think

You don't have to justify your opinion saying it's not hate just having an civilized debate

Ok so, yes, Kiles hasn't been performing this year, but he had to take the IGL role for the first time in his career, I don't think it's fair judging his individual performance. he is still a world champion and that is a kind of experience a middle board team really needs.

About fitinho he definitely has the T1 potential imo, he has proven it before many times, but you're right I'm expecting him to get in through Giants, if it's not Giants it won't be any other team, not worth. Actually expecting Giants roster to look something like (Fitinho, Kiles, Russz and hopefully two good players and an IGL, imo could be MOLSI and Boo since they've already been part of the org in the past, maybe even Pipson comeback)

And last about mixwell, no, he does not only play chamber, and actually he can literally play absolutely any agent, I think as long as they keep him off Chamber his experience still make him tier 1 for a massive pick up for any middle board team. I understand your concern but if you actually knew his personality you would understand

Still he's never won anything, how sad

Well, that's not counting Chinese stuff, with that the list would vary a lot

Couple things. First of all Giants does have an English account so no problem with that. Second of all Spanish teams not gonna sign only Spanish players, tbh Spanish players with actual chance are Kolda, Mixwell that's pretty much a 100%, and then Fitinho and Kiles do have an actual big chance with Giants and then remotely maybe Yuri or lower but I really doubt it. Anyway, 3 Spanish orgs but there won't be more than 5 players total 100%.

Also I understand it might not be the best specially BIG gets kinds fucked but this three orgs have some bucks and most importantly they pull insane viewers

Ig, is not like Spanish orgs are gonna sign Spanish players anyway tho, could perfectly be signing germans and co exist. Still it's not a guarantee so I'm actually sorry for them

I'm sorry man I really wanted BIG to be in but I can't believe this I'm about to throw a party loooool

Yeah ofc that’s for sure, specially since all good players are gonna be prancing in KR server and gonna make them even better. But Ig it’s less bad than if they just pick KR players up rn yk

Plus that actually gives time to the regions to ascend to franchising if they really are that better. Still sucks tho not denying that just trying to be positive lol

This is way worse for OCE than Jp and Indo tho. Cause with all the respect they actually have a good chance of ascending but I feel like it’s gonna take some years until we see the first OCE roster on VCT

He didn’t say mixed. I think he is saying why wouldn’t idk Reforce pick up Xerxia if there’s not enough Korean talent to make a Korean roster that good anyway

Nope, it’s really not, Twistzz had basically no other option. NA scene was falling apart. Meanwhile now both scenes are prospering great. There’s a big difference

NA orgs outclass LATAM orgs, specially Lev, but not Br, LOUD and Furia are huge orgs. Furia has more FPS history and the entire NA

Yup, this is a gf for them, probably splitting from here on

Yeah Boodrok did say something like that he just didn’t publish it or specify much. We’ll see, it could still be si just really hope Lev and Kru get their spots

Not exactly tho. I don’t think this is a NA vs Br, this is a NA vs SA and that includes LEV who no, it’s not very far away from XSET, both kinda equal if you ask me. Lev lost to FPX just like XSET and Loud champions

Anonimotum clears

The thing is nats is first of all a significant firepower upgrade, second of all he can also Op but is not necessary they got Jamppi. And third of all nats plays literally any agent too.

The only thing Nivera is superior on is Oping and they don’t need that.

Yes they do need an IGL but that can come in dimasick spot anyway, Redgar would be insane

Don’t worry dude same here xD

I mean XSET is 3-4 on international LANS this year. They did great but they are not anywhere OPTC

Also you gotta count with Lev who is also part of SA and is very similar to XSET tbh

Dude Furia farms Sen any day of the week and Dgzin owns Tenz

They do get one apparently

Go to the post vlr made, and laugh or cry, you choose how to take the grave

He is too high on copium rn

That’s not a confirmation tho

EMEA Guild is looking real strong with ANNja, ness and Smurfette ngl. I hope 2 pulls it tho. And high on Case copium and TookiTooki farming

Um, if I’m not wrong Shao lives in Serbia but I might be wrong

It’s not confirmed yet tho but it does look bad

And choked against DRX too, don’t get me wrong DRX did well, but you don’t lose that lead if you don’t throw. They actually were about to take a map off them

That would actually make more sense, Rip Viet and Oce tho

Actually most likely gonna be 5 slots for region. Or that would be the most fair to me. 5 America, 5 EMEA, 5 Asia and 1 for last years champions winners or last masters or whatever

I really believe in Soulcas but that would actually be a contenders for champions level team

Dude nats is a huge upgrade from Nivera. Nivera is a great player but not for TL, he needs the Op and that place is just taken bu Jammpi who is even better

140K people would actually be significant portion of Portugal’s total population lmao

Oh that would be hilarious, G2 and T1 kekw

Kr actually does have more slots than NA kekw

Americans should stop crying and work on that. If they truly deserve it they can get up to 9 spots

Do you know how Valorant franchising works? There will be 14 teams with time

Stop the cap Portugal carrying BR viewership kekw

Not KCORP please xD

None, he wouldn’t have posted it if it actually was one of the two, my guess is bait

And then -dimasick +Redgar and there you got top 1 roster right there

So do LATAM and Br

Also I’ve read so many times this champions “EU one team region wa was king for more slots” that I can’t avoid this being so funny
