No, it's 10, after first year one team will be ascending from the VRL's to make it 11, with a 2 years contract. The year after that another team will ascend to make it 12, the year after the team that ascended last year will be gone so 2 more will be ascending, that's 13, the year after that the team that got there the second year will be gone and two more will come in, so that's 14. And finally every year from that the 2 teams who's contract expires will go back to VRL and 2 new one will come in, making it a 10 team franchised league and 4 promoted teams by 2027
NA: NORTH america
KRU Loud and NIP are SOUTH american
Thats why the league is “Americas” and not just “North America” or “NA” like you put in the original post
America it's bigger than the US my friend. So you are right "America's" league it's not just NA
I know that the US isnt Amercia, but KRÜ, Loud and NIP arent located in North America, so there are not NA Teams
But there isn’t gonna be NA anymore, three leagues. Americas, EMEA and Asia
G2 is not making it to NA, rumour has been losing a lot of power, also most leakers put them in EMEA franchising again
I guess FLUXO is the second richest org in Brazil not NIP or FURIA and they also applied for franchising, dont agree that LEVIATAN is making it
My hot take is:
(6 NA teams) C9, Optic, TSM, 100T, SEN, FAZE
(2 BR teams) NIP, LOUD
(2 LATAM teams) KRU, INFINITY
I don´t think they'll choose two teams from LAS unless LEV goes to Mexico or some other country from LAN
I doubt FAZE could make it because of the finances, but idk
*Riot won't give less than 6 teams to NA until they understand Valorant is achieving that all regions have real contenders and potential
