According to Spanish leaker Lembo, he has agreed with other leakers from the scene that this list of teams has made it to the second phase of the selection of franchising. This doesn't mean that teams that are not here haven't made it, means that the ones that are have made it. For the next phase, teams will have to physically go to Berlin and explain their project, also this phase is when the money and sustainability of the teams start counting. In the end, only 10 teams can make it through. The list is:

G2, FNC, TL, VIT, NAVI, BIG, BBL, ROGUE, EXCEL, FPX, Falcons, KCorp, KOI, Giants, and Heroic

Edit: Forgot to also add Heretics lol

Thoughts?

Wow man, thank you so much, don’t even know what to say. Appreciate it a lot fr

It just takes practice and a lot of works

Actually they rap quite often when they are casting, it’s really really hype. Specially since all they say makes sense. Always narrate the round just as it happens not like when other casters do it like 5 second after it happens xD

That’s what I’m saying, G2 probably wants to play in NA now it’s up to Riot if they allow them to do the switch. Carlos probably just wants more money tho

-Russ +Zeek
Liquid need an IGL maybe zander

Pretty sure they have applied for franchising in both regions yes, now is up to Riot where do they wanna let them play

Sad but true, job is almost done, not worth it to change anything now, just do what we can and pull the Wallet when franchising starts

So hard to only pick 5

Jing, Ardis, Shao, Keznit, Apas, Surf, Meteor etc

Not even waiting for champs like Forsaken and jing whaaaaaaaaat xD

ex G2 and Acend, they swapped them. That is what GUILD needs to be top 1 EMEA

I need -Russ +Zeek please

Best minor region run ever emblematic moment

Yes

Oh yeah, sorry I watch it in Spanish and every single round is hype so no clue what the English casters said

Fair enough

Keznit 6k

Dude was so ready for this question

They like to hate

I’m saying add Keznit to the list not trying to take Aspas out of it

Infinity is the org in LAN with more money if I’m not wrong

How’s forsakens Russian?

Shroud smoking them to enter site! What a great idea!

NA fans talk like if our 3rd seed didn’t beat OPTC. They can say fluke or whatever which I believe is partially true but it’s already more than what XSET has done

Have you ever heard the name of Apac_Jimmy?

Got hard diffed by Keznit

He hasn’t disappointed a single map this tournament

Also people forget that that Ardis not only has the highest stats, he does it while playing for FPX who has played by far the most games in the tournament

I honestly think they didn't do that bad, but what you're doing here doesn't work, team A beats B easier than C beat B doesn't mean A > C. There are other factors and the truth is that Lev had no pressure against FNC since they were already qualified for champs, meanwhile against XSET both teams had a lot of pressure.

All their chances pass by Riot giving 2 Spots to LATAM cause if it’s just one KRU is getting it, more money and fans

In case they are two they are still gonna have to fight that spot with some LAN teams that have a lot of money like Infinity or Fusion unless has another separate spot

No problem bro ;)

"Make it out of groups" Worded like that for a reason

Does NA have more than that or what are you trying to say here? He is drunk but your point is dumb

All his old teammates like Mixwell and Lucas Rojo that I know love him too

Only ever IGL to make it out of groups with 2 different teams, 3 if you count when he won masters 1 with Acend. everything he touches imporves

Young by age my friend, they are all around 20

Actually is OPTC's fault for loosing to GUILD

Genuinely happy for all of them, they are such nice people too, at least Kolda and Ardiis who I've seen the most

No, BR, NA, and EMEA get way worse just because of the rivalry

It's been a couple of years already, thanks man

Koldamenta is a top 5 IGL in the world

No talking about the players, talking about the fans

Bro their playstyle is to sacrifice him to make space, I understand it's not good to see but that's a team thing, not individual. Just like people like deffo

xD

Bro stop, just leave them alone, is really not the moment for them

"Seider is as good as Suygetsu, stop putting excuses"

Wow, genuinely thankful for the input man, fr

Yeah bro we get what you mean but that translation doesn’t work, funniest is not unes in that context. Just a tip

Actually really agree

Wonder if it would have been the same if EMEA had lost
