BBL Pcific situation explained

BBL Pcific is completely owned by BBL, who pays for all their expenses and salaries.

It's called an "affiliate" just to make it legal for competing in Challengers.

Pcific ascending by themselves was never gonna happen, because they're broke and financially incapable of staying in VCT.

BBL takes Pcific's players and will sell the EMEA spot to another organization.

Investing a lot of money into a team who potentially doesn’t even make franchising is doing nothing? BBL brought in Crewen and Lovers rock into the team

ok but even they didn't win ascension it's a lot less risky for them to invest sincen they are still developing talent that could be integrated into their tier 1 team. It's way way way more risky for a tier 2 org to invest even a fraction of what BBL has, they really just fucked over those orgs by doing this and whilst Idgaf about orgs since players matter more. It:

  • sets a bad precedent
  • makes the region worse since we've essentially lost a strong ascension who are going to be replaced by an unproven tier 2 team?

btw worthy of mentioning that BBL Pcific players were receiving one of the lowest salaries in Challengers Turkey, so BBL is probably gonna profit big from this whole ordeal

essentially a academy team covered up legally. this is very unfaithful from bbl ngl. dont think they will be partnered again in 2027. riot is in a bit of a pickle rn but they will remember that

pretty sure you cant sell a spot, and if they really were/are unfit to meet the financial requirements the spot will be going to someone else entirely like the rules say, no?

Not sell a spot, sell the whole entire org, kinda like what SPG did to become NS
