Are EDG, FPX, and BLG officially partnered teams?

I looked at the Esports hub in the game launcher and under "Partnered Teams" BLG, FPX, and EDG show up. Does this mean they're officially partnered with Riot now or are they still just technical shoe-ins?

EDG alone can do that. Other chinese orgs don’t even have to pitch in. Last I heard the net worth of EDG owner was around 40 billion something.

The Esports infrastructure is pretty dope in China. I’m so happy they are organizing masters 2024. I also read that It was EDG pr some other org, they were building 2.5 billion dollars esports facility in China.

eventually they’ll be partnered once the CN League is up and running which we might expect to come next year

all 3 orgs are in the LPL so its pretty much guaranteed they’ll be in franchising
