Now that we’re nearing the end of most Stage 2 play-ins and playoffs, which teams do you all think are going to get relegated from partnership for each region?

I think we will have a lot of surprise especially because the new criteria. I think 100T chance to get partner is really low, and in comparaison, I think FQ and SR willing to invest into the sene despite not being partner make their change really high.
I would guess : SEN, C9, SR, FQ, LYON, MIBR, KRU, LEV (Yes, 2 LAS and 1 BR, since LAS have a bigger playerpool than BR nowheadays)
But 100T and NRG will stay strong NA team that will dominate the scene
It's impossible to predict in EMEA, it will depend on the method, do we want MENA team ? Hoiw many TR ? M8, VIT, and KC are 3 strong contender but can we have 3 FR team ?
Only APAC is easy : T1/GEN/DFM/REV/PRX/TS/BME/FS
I don’t agree at all. new criteria are based mainly on the fame of the org. there is no way C9 stay, they have no money not a lot of fan and hype . i know they want new org but i don’t think they let 2 new NA org while they already have big org with fan (like NRG/G2/100t). the rest i agree
new criteria are based mainly on the fame of the org
IIRC isnt the case, but if you have source I take it. I remeber 4 criteria and 2 of them was invest in the community and financial stability. I Think both SR and FQ my be too mush I admit, but one of the could pass.
Three teams from LATAM? That doesn't even make sense, considering they are one of the weakest sub-regions despite the large player base. I think LOUD will be one of the partner teams because of their massive fanbase and what they’ve already achieved in Valorant, while the second Brazilian slot remains up in the air—personally, I’d bet on a new organization.
I believe these will be the partner teams for next year: FLY, G2, LEV, LOUD, LYON, PNG, SEN, SR
For EMEA, I believe there will be 6 EU, 1 TR, and 1 MENA slots, so I would set it up like this: FNC, FLC, FUT, GM8, NAVI, TH, TL, VIT
I don't think predictions for APAC will be that easy; since we have six regional competitions (KR, JP, TH, ID, VN, and a Wildcard), I believe there will be an organization representing each of these sub-regions. So, I believe these will be the ones: DRX, FS, GAM, GEN, PRX, RRQ, T1, ZETA
I think the only region that's easy to predict is China, and I believe those will be the chosen partner organizations: AG, BLG, EDG, FPX, JDG, TYL, WBG, WOL
Currently Latam is in great shape, while BR is in a huge crisis. But 2 for BR is fully possible, it's just hard to drop LEV or KRU, while both Furia and LOUD did disapoint a lot (And Lyon is a no brainer). Maybe the correct pick is 2G, how big is PNG ?
Your EMEA list make sense but I think VIT will be lower thank KC, Vit barely invest in the sene and have less vew than KC (But I think V as a non-partner will do better than KC)
China is hard to predict, because the big orgs where in crisis in 2022 during the first frnachise process, I think IG could get a slot if they willing to.
KR need to have both T1 and GEN, it's impossible to not have both, you dont put DFM over ZETA ?
LATAM is not in great shape lmao, both the LATAM teams are mostly Brazilian.
4 teams from each region get relegated IG so here are mine
AMER- C9, ENVY, FUR(depends on if they qualify to champs 2026), EG
EMEA- GX, PCF, EF, NAVI/M8s
APAC- TS, RRQ, ZETA, VL(depends on if they qualify to champs 2026)
CN(idk)- WOL, TEC, TE, NOVA/FPX
