If G2 go to EMEA, they will have to rebuild since they can only have 1 overseas player. They essentially lose their entire roster.
How good did they do as representatives of indo? I still remember when Boom went 5-0 and not a single Indo fan supported RRQ. Maybe I was the only one who believed in RRQ during Stage 1, and they ended up winning it all later
most of these answers seem pretty valid
nrg have a solid americas fanbase and invest a lot into val
kc and vit are THE french orgs
kru is a staple latam org
rrq is the only iffy answer i see above you but i feel like they're top 2 indo orgs at least
and delighted just talks to talk sometimes
with the way t2 gets reworked NRG VIT prob better there where they play up with a good team once every 4 years, makes better upsets
even if they throw more money at it than 1 good year's worth
franchising isn't performance based, it's based on riot's perceived value of the org in a partnership system
have we learned nothing from the best team of 2022 not getting a spot
MAYBE i could see an argument for nrg if riot goes like super into the saudi esports sphere or something adjacent to that
but not a fucking chance in hell vitality doesn't get partnered again and it's legitimately astonishing to me that you'd even consider that
For most teams what matters is their interest, ability and willingness to spend in the game the representation they bring in the league and fan base and most importantly their history as an organisation and how clean they are what I mean is if they are involved in any scandals or cheating or any other shit
Another major factor I think if the team or org is experienced to have played earlier in an Partnership league setting for example GENG had team in OWL ALSO LoL with Rito
Representation matters in the sense where how likely is you can replace this org with another from the region? For example who would you bring if you remove the other one the quality and basically the value they have as a brand
T1, DRX, GEN, PRX, RRQ, TS, GE/S8UL, ZETA/DFM, FLYQUEST [APAC]
G2, 100T, NRG, SEN, C9, LEV, KRU, MIBR, LOUD [AMERICAS]
VIT, FNC, TL, NAVI, TH, KC, M8, GX, SK, FUT, BBL [EMEA]
JDG, EDG, IG, TES, BLG, WBG, FPX, WOL, XLG/DRG, AG [CHINA]
Plus minus a few teams in the list and remove a few I think all around these will be the partnered teams in 2027
China I think will have the most changes with a alot of big orgs coming in, FLYQUEST can also get in Americas and I would want a region Split between PACIFIC AND KR and NORTH AMERICA and SOUTH AMERICA
They can bring Aussie rep if they join Pacific and if they are selected in Americas then I am also fine
