The thing is I don't really know if selling out spots is a bad thing. I am just defending that, if you have the narrative that riot have (that selling spots isn't good for franchising), then their actions are correct. Again as I said in other responses, maybe it's about integrity of the league, but I do not know.

Not trying to defend riot necessarily, but more about defending Leo. If you have to push the narrative that orgs selling out spots is a bad thing, I think that the actions being taken are the better path. I am more interested in having an discussion about the topic besides riot=bad.

Yeah, I don't what problems could arrive with league spots being sold out. But I am mostly trying to explain, if you are certain that it is a bad thing that orgs could sell spots, why riot are taking this action. But I truly don't know what could go wrong, maybe integrity of the frachised league?

The thing is, how does riot know if a org isn't selling out? Imagine that I have an org, make it to champions, and out of nowhere decide to not step up to the slot. But, underneath the table I have an agreement with the players and another org that, they are going to choose for example G2 and I as an org is going to receive an payment underneath. There is no way to know.

And for free agent teams, riot has already disclosed that if a free agent team make it they are free to choose an org.

Here is different because we truly do not know if the org is selling out or no. Guard could possibly, while leaving esports and trying to make a extra money, decide to sell the slot to another org and we do not know.

Guys, seriously, how do you know if the guard isn't selling their spot? How do you know if there aren't any deals underneath? There is no way to know. And I think that's the point that Leo is trying to get across, they shouldn't allow a precedent that a org may be able to sell their slot. Most of you guys don't seen to understand that the deals can happen underneath the table without riot consent.
