There is no point of having an ascension finals right? No team is going to T1 in 2027 so it is better to give them a spot in Stage 2 playoffs
Rito is using brains

instead of playing to play the next year they are playing to play on the biggest stage of that year
its an improvement imo
yk 2027 format for the entirety of franchising is changing right?
prob going to have more inclusion anyways
considering they stated in the video that they were so excited to include more teams that they did it a year early its a safe inference that there is more T2 inclusion to come
but if they rework it for 2027 then that means it might be more open for all teams
1 year of exposure for what? BOOM, 2G, Gentle Mates, Nongshim got very little out of franchising since they didn't make any meaningful impact in VCT
u could argue all the team u listed, except for gentle mates, they literally made impact bozo 😭
if it's even true, they were the reason emea replacing koi
I mean its still an advantage because there is a lot more money in tier 1, there is better competition, and if you do really good then Riot might consider your team for a spot in franchising when they refranchise over a team like Furia.
hey the thing is they said even the teams that just make it to stage 2 playoffs in t1 from t2 will get a substantial amount of stipend or pay that is good enough for them to justify the cost of running that porject for the year - said by leo faira
