Exactly, it can't be called as "franchising" because it's not like LOL, where you have to buy an spot to get in the international league.

In Valorant, it's called partnership: Riot decides 10 teams for 3 international leagues (EMEA, America, and the rest of regions) based on their project (fanbase and finantial stability) and Riot pay these teams so they can compete with the best roster and attract more people to Valorant scene with their own brand (narrative, merchandising, vlogs, ¿skins?...)

Yes, Guild is not a suitable org for Riot and their actual roster is very good, so probably it will be sold as a roster or as individual players

A lot of people didn't even know what an easport is and they discovered it thanks to Ibai with Koi or Kameto with KCorp (as examples), don't you think is that enought?
We are talking of hundred of thousands new viewers for LOL or Valorant... or new people talking about easports on social media everyday so all this get spreased over the world.

"Viewers will not just randomly increase because of franchising"? It's not the same to compete in a regional league than in VCT, the best example I can show you is this --> https://www.dexerto.com/league-of-legends/ibais-koi-vs-karmine-corp-puts-lcs-finals-to-shame-with-477k-viewers-on-twitch-1722258/
A Koi vs KC on VCT could be in top 10 most watched games of Valorant history, and that means more and more people to Valorant, who can become fan of any team of the league
I agree with the little number of 10 teams, but obviously they should be the ones with higher number of fan-favorite orgs, so in that aspect Riot is doing it for the fans and viewers

Do you think Guild have fanbase and financial stability?
If you want to include it because of his actual so good roster, don't worry because another invited team will buy his roster for sure

Don't think so, invited teams will atract a lot of viewers (for example with Koi, the Ibai and Gerard Pique team, you would have a WP of +100k average viewers, which is way more than Valorant main channel during VCT), and for the community who follow some top player, invited teams will sign these top players to get the highest performance (no team wants to get exposed)

I don't think franchises suck because that make the level increase a lot, but yes I agree with you with the number of teams, it has no sense for a league of such a big region (and not talking about America)

Yeah probably Navi would do that

I take all your points except for:

• About VRL teams (Spain as well), teams will get the best roster as possible if they get in franchise, so don't check actual stats because probably we will se changes on all rosters to get the highest level.
• About Vitality, I think they got into valorant this earlier just to apply for franchising, and probably will get accepted because Vitality is on LEC rn (LOL franchising league)

Bro actual rosters won't get in franchising, TEAMS will do it.
Probably with franchising we will have a x2 level of top players because all teams will have money and no one wants to get embarrased because of not winning a map

From reliable sources of some journalists I can tell you Riot probably won't accept them, and their roster will be sold, and that makes me happy because his fandom is based on their players and not on the org

Teams don't have to pay to join, just have fanbase and financial stability to keep the game growing

If it's necessary to have at least 1 representative for each region, what teams for Turkey and MENA? Maybe BBL and Falcons?

True, also Acend, Guild and M3C aren't a decent org, but their roster will be 100% on VCT don't worry about that

I think so too, their roster will be sold

I think Koi and Karmine Corp should be at least at 50/50 (for the rivalry between them, lol and streamers)

And what do you prefer instead?

Okay, but which team I mentioned has less fanbase than BBL (I'm asking, Idk about BBL)?

Is there any of them in LOL? Because Riot will probably do something similar

Why? And who will enter instead of them?

I'm talking about orgs, not roster, probably a team I mentioned would buy Guild roster

EMEA TEAMS (franchise league)

• G2 Esports
• Fnatic
• Team Liquid
• Mad Lions
• Vitality
• Karmine Corp
• Koi
• Giants
• BBL
• FunPlus Phoenix

Imagine a EMEA league of 2 matchs per week when every teams play a BO1 (just as LOL rn)

In a day, for example, you could see these matches:

• G2 vs Fnatic
• Liquid vs FPX
• Koi vs KCorp
• Giants vs Vitality
• Mad Lions vs BBL

All games on LAN streamed on YT and Twitch (every region his stream of course)
The main Valorant channel could get +200k everyday, because there are a lot of competitiveness and rivalry between all teams, and a lot of fans from some teams like G2, Koi, KCorp... (and probably more fans from some top players that each team get to win)

Does someone know what's the fastest competitive Valorant match?

This match for example just took 24 minutes 9 seconds, probably an historic record in some leagues or tournaments
