I know what is the meaning of Franchising but i only watched VCT this couple of months now and i saw the drama about team that are leaving, so i wonder what is the different and why people hate about Riot's Franchising?

yeah there would be open qualifiers for each sub region within a region e.g. brazillian qualifiers for south america, think there was more matches too iirc its been a while

now its literally, if ur not in tier1/franchise league ur not going to any international events unless u grind out ascension (unsustainable as fuck) or get picked up (need to be extremely good to get picked up)

They wanted an excuse to forcefully kick the GOAT (Tacolilla) out of franchising so other teams could have a chance. Totally unfair

optic was owning too hard so the easiest way to separate the players was to forcefully disband the org

they claimed it'd make valorant esports more stable and profitable. they said it'd allow for consistent viewership and more revenue for teams, which i suppose did happen since valorant as an esport has grown a fair amount since franchising was introduced, but i wouldnt say thats directly because of franchising

Is there no money reward to tier 2 Champ? I mean beside being on top to keep promote to another VCL stage something, they don't get any reward cash for their hard-work!! That's sucks

there is prize pool but its not really big and unified
T2 struggles a lot with money overall

Pre Franchising:

  • APAC 2 international slot, 1 JP, 1 KR.
  • VS/DRX gatekeep korea only international slot apart from the rare Nuturn case
  • JP always makes internationals.

After Franchising:

  • JP doesn't make internationals
  • Only KR team + PRX always makes internationals (RRQ/TLN rare case)
