My guess would be:
NAVI
FPX
BBL
G2
FNC
TL
KC
KOI
RGE
VIT
I have a doubt tho, how likely do you guys think is that BIG gets in? Ik they are not as big as the rest of these orgs but Riot wants to represent every region and the League is gonna be held in Berlin, they need to fill the stadium somehow. If it was me I would do BIG and take Rogue out, no fanbase anyway, look at Lol where they win but still nobody cares about them
The rest of the list is accurate
Hewcho [#6]i feel like navi not making it
CIS needs representation and NAVI is the only viable option since they are not directly Russian
Mortadelo [#9]CIS needs representation and NAVI is the only viable option since they are not directly Russian
Also their cs following is huge so that would presumably give a lot of weight to their application

I dont think theres a CIS region specified in that thread the other day

FPX is better option
Hewcho [#19]FPX is better option
FPX is not a better option cause FPX is not a CIS org, they only count as CIS now because of the players but what if in 2 years something happens to the players and they have to change them? Then you end up with no representation. People really can't understand that what matters is the org and not the pleayers
Tomatongfuel [#15]Also their cs following is huge so that would presumably give a lot of weight to their application
And DOTA and everything, NAVI is huge
InXtiNct [#16]I dont think theres a CIS region specified in that thread the other day
There's no way there isn't CIS representation being one of the major regions in EMEA. That's like saying Kr won't get an spot cause they have no viewers

another org will pick up m3c and they will be cis aswell. people think acend can't make franchising due to gambling thing but what about navi? They have 3-4 betting partners.

I'm gonna say it again dude, you need to look at the orgs not the players, you can't predict what's gonna happen to those players, you can't put a whole region on their hands.
It's different my friend, Acend is literally a name they invented to compete in Val, which I'm sure you already know, their actual name in other games is RYE, a casino academy. Sponsors and you being the gambler itself it's different yes

Imagine hating gambling and these stuff and being okay for a team that has more than 1 betting partners and recommending u to bet everywhere. FPX is better option because has more audience in Val, no bad partners aswell. They're chinese org but nothing stopping them being franchised and FPX has more representation with current roster than Navi right now.
Sorry but you're an acend hater, not even checking liquipedia to see the names in other games. 💀
m8te [#33]owned by a much bigger company though
Heretics owner has the second world twitch record with 2,4 M viewers. Trust me they are a big dude, and definitely have money (just bought a LEC spot). And they actually have a fanbase and people who are gonna watch their games which is a lot more valuable to the league

Dude, first of all, Acend has always been my second team so shut up. Second of all if you can't understand that partners can be just for a game and can be changed and that it is different than being the gambler yourself then idk how else to explain it
And third of all how do I have to explain that the CURRENT ROSTER IS NOT A FUCKING CRITERIA TO SELECT THE ORG. I really don't think it's that hard to understand

its up to riot to choose stability vs fanbase (TH is stable just not a massive as rekt global)
m8te [#38]its up to riot to choose stability vs fanbase (TH is stable just not a massive as rekt global)
Fanbase gives stability to the league, is what holds the league
m8te [#40]ehhh I guess
Let me put it this way. If you need x money to have the best team possible, why does it matter if you have 5x or 10x yk. It's a lot more important to bring value in other ways
Mememeister1 [#8]Read the thread cretin it says EMEA
What do you mean sentinels is the biggest emea org
Mememeister1 [#8]Read the thread cretin it says EMEA
Mememeister1 with a dark joke
only few people could understand
aTastyCook1e [#35]BBL OMEGALUL
Probably has the most (or at least some of the most) viewership out of any EMEA team so yeah “BBL OMEGALUL”
Mortadelo [#26]There's no way there isn't CIS representation being one of the major regions in EMEA. That's like saying Kr won't get an spot cause they have no viewers
I dont think the latter part is connected to what I just said. I meant in that thread, where they announce the 2023 route one, CIS is not mention under the EMEA section. Also, the map didnt have CIS ticked
m8te [#31]What ab heroic? Idk they have been floating around the conversation for a long time
i think Heroic has a similar problem as Rogue, not that big of a fanbase, and at the end looks like Riot cares about that (for marketing reasons of course).
I may be wrong. I'm based on csgo, where a lot of danish fans root for Astralis.
