I think they should do it 8 teams partnership, 4 teams ascension.
My personal split would look something like 3 Korea + 3 SEA + 1 Japanese + 1 South Asian

DRX
T1
GenG

PRX
RRQ
Full Sense / Buriram United

GE/S8UL

DFM

This is just how I think it will go if they do opt for 8+4 format. If it is 10+2, I think they just increase the SEA slot to 5. I don't think either of South Asian and Japan deserves more than one slot. They can't really remove them since a significant part of viewership comes from these regions. So yea, my split would either be 3+3+1+1 or 3+5+1+1. Preferably the former since it will save tier 2 and increase interests from orgs into Challengers circuit.

there won't be any more partnered teams in this sense, it will shift fully to open circuit with riot global rankings determining event attendance which will be organized bu TOs like BLAST, and riot will hold the masters and champions still as the top prestige events. i think it will look something like the louvre agreement with esl

(maybe ts too nerdy for vlr)

I don't think Riot wants to do this tbf. I think they are very inclined on the partnership system. Like League.

i thought the same but i saw on linkedin theres a director for riot esports management in BLAST now and also leo faria has somewhay hinted at this in the few appearances on podcasts he has had, idk maybe i read too much into it but i think its def possible that theres 20-25 partnered teams that play w guaranteed entrances to tournaments and open and closed quals+ invites based on a global ranking

Ahh anything more that 6 permanent teams will be useless and they should do away with country rep when they go down to 6 teams just choose 6 best high quality orgs and define player and import rules . Invite them directly to regional qualifiers and rest of the time let them play third party tournaments . Meanwhile rest can go back to old system VCL will again become important as qualifiers and we can have 6 teams representing all VCLs to come and compete alongside 6 franchised teams in regional qualifiers just like old times. Different teams and players will get chances and regionals will feel high stakes again instead of repeating chore of whole year. Keep high prize moneys so orgs are motivated to win and reach regionals and can justify investment that's it. As for my 6 permanent Franchised teams -

  1. PRX(Self-explanatory biggest fanbase in the world)
  2. Zeta(Again fanbase and permanent JP rep they can pick DFM players not that much of an issue they are stronger of two as org)

3.Geng/DRX( 2 korean reps to make up for their talentpool bcz we cant give them more than 1 regional slot anyways)

  1. T1(2nd perma korean slot they can field strong roster big fanbase reputed org cant leave out)

5.RRQ( Indo fanbase is great but they rep whole of SEA here big org)

6.S8ul/Fancy United/PH org maybe ? ( honestly the whole point of this slot is representing rest of big fanbases but weak regions whoever is here should be instructed to pick from India/OCE/VIETNAM/PH/Malaysia/Mongolia etc basically rest of regions)

As for 6 VCL Slots to Regional league - KR-1 , JP-1 , India/OCE-1 ,SEA-3.

I don't get this hatred for them I haven't seen anything as of now either in Apex or Valo and yess our region needs one of S8ul or Godlike and their fanbase if Valorant has to get out of the bubble where its locked rn in India.
