George said they won't buy them

They disbanded. sadge

That's the thing. G2 is going to have a NA HQ. That can increase the chances

Considering the Valo fanbase in EU, not a bad decision org wise. But NA already have a lot of orgs to represent

But why remove from ranked?

Haven should've been removed. But why tf thry remove it from competetive? Should've only been from pro play.

16 team challengers is shit. Look at all the regions. Can barely fill 12 good teams. Only good 6,7 teams

But they can't qualify for the challengers as RIOT mentioned

If Valorant going for franchising, this could be a perfect idea.

Let 10 teams be franchised in each region. And let 2 teams come from regional league. In that way, we can save t2 scene and better teams can compete at the highest level. fuck 100% franchising. win win for everyone.

They are broke. I don't think so

Because G2 tried to buy nAts long time ago and they are still need a good sentinel player. Anyway M3C will have to split up or pick up by an org like KCORP for the franchising spot

Haven

We are talking about CIS Region in which the t2 scene was wiped out. How do u find a new talent when the tourneys are not happening. And everytime when a new player is signed u have to relocate him. That would take extra time and money. Hardly can believe they go for that when they have solid 2,3 players already.

If they buy entire M3C, they are going a Russian speaking team. If they have to do a roster change in the future, they have to buy only a russian speaking player. I don't think G2 will go for that risk. Only nAts and Redgar will be aquired as they are lack of an IGL and a sentinel.

Wouldn't make sense as they won't get a franchising spot

Don't think they would enter as they won't get a franchising place

Astralis is broke. That's why they don't invest in esports much recently

They have to when franchising coming up.

If an org has to wait till another org gets broken, what's the purpose of investing in it?

Is Fokus a big org or rich? I would sell him just after the season is over.

Most probably Liquid as they are in the hunt for players. G2 won't do a roster change until the season is over. Maybe they will buy few players from Focus like they did with upcoming Giants.

Dude literally said Acend had a fluke run. mf didn't know they won Masters1 and was the most consistent team in EMEA after Gambit last year.

Similarities -

Worst teams in the region.
Don't have an IGL.
Don't have a game plan.
Won't win a shit.

Why bad? That team won't win a shit.

Luckily we won't see them in next Masters. Worst team in the challengers

Worst team in the history of Valorant. No gameplan. No IGL. Brain dead players playing brain dead plays. Luckily we won't see them in next Maters

Yeah both of the teams don't have an IGL. Both of them don't have an entry player. For me TL and G2 are equal

people deserve something for their hardwork. It's ok if u didn't receive anything because u didn't deserve anything. But hard worked players like Trent or whole Guard deserve their spot.

If an org like XSET can't get into Challengers or Masters, how do they get to the places like 100T or Cloud? They will forever be a medium/poor org because they don't get the sponsors or investors like other top orgs gets.

Yeah what about other orgs who are outside of top 8 financially? How can teams like Guard or Ghost get the oppportunity they deserve?

WHat t2 scene. WHat are the top orgs who are in t2 in NA?

Just think orgs like LG or XSET and they don;t get a spot. What are they gonna do? Just play in the regional league forever?

If u got kicked from a team, good luck finding an org. Why CS is still a thing? U can form a team with 5 players and give a shot at major. U will be recognised if u come halfway.

They are going for the same regional league without promotion. Other orgs have to wait until a franchised org got broke.

U are the brain dead one. Ask what u don't know without ksiing ur own ass. LG gone. Ur FaZe is next when they don't have a spot in franchising

Vitality, Mouz, Karmine Korp, Excel, etc.. all are playing in regional league with fewer viewership. For all the regions In franchising most orgs won't receive a chance because of the no of spots and they have to play in regional league next year knowing they will not have a chance to play in challengers. Which is good? Stay in the scene knowing u have a chance of going to promotion or just stay in the scene playing with t2 teams?

In EMEA, they have given the stability for the top 10 teams.

Why not. Top teams are guaranteed of a spot in challengers unless they will end up the last spot. Which means they are secured and will commit long term.

Fuck franchising. All my homies love regional league with relegation and promotion

Finally Liquid doing something for the Valo team. I thought they have stopped spending money on Valo. Next -Soulcas +igl

Regional league is good because it makes t2, t3 teams compete every week for about 2 months. And fixed spots in challengers for the top 8,10 teams make sure the they are safe.

First of all, why do they need fix spots and partners? They even pay them. Such a waste of money. Why can't they just create regional league with relegation and promotion with 12 slots.

My bad

Yeah for now 10 teams is enough until China is there. AFter that they can give 2 slots to China but OCE ans SA should get 1 spot each.

This APAC has only Thailand, Vietnam, Singapoor, Mynmar likewise

It will be a good reason for Renagedes to come back OCE

KR has DRX, Dawmon Gaming, Nuturn likewise few big orgs. APAC has Bleed, Secret, Paper Rex, Xerxia. If OCE has 2 spots, Renagades will go to OCE and kep the scene alive

NA has more than 8 big orgs. giving them 8 direct spots will keep them in the scene. BR has NIP, Loud and Furia. For regional they have MIBR and Vevo Keyd. So that will keep their league alive. LATAM has only 2 big teams KRU and Leviatan. One will take direct spot and other team can come thru promotion.

But US or EU countries won't issue Visas for any Russians

How tf ex Gambit CSGO players got US Visa this quick and Navi couldn't. The whole system is rigged
