Gen.G - 2024 Madrid runner-ups, 2024 Shanghai winners
T1 - 2025 Bangkok winners
NS - 2026 Santiago winners
KRX - Most international placements, 3rd at Champs Paris
Idk how many partner slots there are gonna be next year. Based on achievements I feel like Gen.G would be a lock. Based on consistency I'd give one to KRX. Based on fanbase & popularity, I'd assume T1 gets one. But based noodles, NS are the only contender.
Who do you think would be most likely for partnership slots next year?
GenG are probably able to field their potential star duelist next year if the age requirement goes to 17.
NS are most likely to be dropped from partnership if they do drop someone.

That's not really the question tho
you are literally talking about how much they want to invest into valo, which has almost EVERYTHING to do with my statement.
Also its GenG, they are investing hella into their valorant roster with t3xture, karon, solo, and HSK.
If GenG are dropped from partnership, classic sales will drop by a lot
They will have to do more than just subbing in Xiesta, thats's why I say that. And no they're not investing hella into val they're litrally cutting the costs of their valo division in favor of their LOL division which is precisely why I think it is an important point in the first place
I mean keeping Karon, T3xture, Solo, and HSK probably costs as much as it does to keep buzz, munchkin, meteor, and Izu.
GenG are investing a hell of a lot more than the other Korean orgs like KRX or NS, just not more than T1 in total.
(if you look at their players history, accomplishments and estimate their worth off that)
They literally cut meteor and munchkin based of money alone and they are sustaining their Lol roster than Val one
well I mean T1 are just a bigger and richer org lol
GenG are no where near as old as T1, the fact they cant compete against T1 contracts doesnt say much.
it's not about competing with T1's contract, they just couldn't compete with themselves
Calling it now
-GenG
+FearX or Dplus
But it is very likely there are more than 4 kr partners since it's Korea (esports culture)
no way they drop GenG with how huge their fan base is especially in Korea
Even if they arent a trophy contender this year, they should make it due to the amount of money and viewership they bring
FearX or Dplus are probably coming in next year, but not into partnership unless NS are being dropped
i think GenG deserves it more than krx. they made 2 more finals than krx and brought pacific first trophy
prob gonna be t1 and KRX as the partners for korea, but honestly its a toss up
