china hasn't entered the scene yet
also it would be funny to see korean orgs with sea players since sea players right now dominating the scene
I think NA/EU orgs entering the APAC franchise will very much likely than korean orgs

There's already FPX lol
Chinese orgs don't mean they will have Chinese rosters

FPX is rumored to be 70-90% committing to EMEA unless said otherwise.

FPX has already entered the european scene since before even valorant released. (old heroic csgo team)
The only korean orgs I can see entering international franchise is Gen.G or T1

T1 and GenG already have NA rosters
They will try to get NA franchise slots

GenG is going back to KR scene.
also NA franchise in general is too competitive if its only 10 slots. Don't be surprised if some well-known orgs buying out APAC rosters just for a spot.

NA is much bigger market
NA orgs will try their best to earn NA franchise spot
but at least one NA/EU org might try to join APAC franchise
it's possible

Right now, there is zero incentive to think those are the most likely teams.

From your list, the ones I have more confidence in are:

  • DRX
  • ZETA
  • IG
  • EDG

DRX and ZETA would be enough for the token representative from their respective region. There are rumors of Chinese orgs like Invictus Gaming and Edward Gaming potentially picking up some players from the HK/TW region to be able to participate in APAC.

Sandbox have been linked to a team for a long time now but they've been silent at all. KT I don't think they have interest at all.

PSG Talon is exclusively for League of Legends. Talon already has a Filipino roster and PSG doesn't have interest at all as well, I think.

yea I have no inside news at all so I randomly picked T1 orgs in Asia

Riot will most likely pick 30 orgs from LEC LCS LCK LPL imo
