That is way too remote, but at that point don't let them in

EMEA seems very accurate to me. Only about Mixwell thol, it's more of a 50/50, TH wants him but he still has not decided if he wants to retire to not

If you make ascension you 1000% get picked up. Have to go through Premier and VCL

If those orgs don't meet Riot requirements then yes, no point for them to stay. Literally there was a scandal today about xset still owing money. This is necessary

Leo faria said there was a million Chinese fans watching EDG at 3am against LOUD

This is the latest info https://twitter.com/anonimotum/status/1695473832260256027
Trying to get Enzo is the only thing he added

I mean if you ascend through premier you're gonna want to get paid and get picked up? Where's the problem there?

First of all, if you're playing against a team who's paid by Riot are you really not gonna be paranoid about it
Second of all who makes the roster changes? what if the team fights and they don't wanna play together
Third, you can't do that forever, at some point they have to go through #2

If The Guard players don't make it to franchising, ascension loses meaning for the players
If a teams that hasn't won makes it to franchising, ascension loses meaning for orgs

Precisely because of that lack of orgs is why they can't do that

It's not about hurting orgs feelings, is about them pulling out of the scene because of it. Without orgs there is no scene

ty man xD

thought it was a content that everyone would wanna know. Site needs some action

Explained it a couple times. It's different. Maximum as soon as they qualify for ascension they would get picked up, before winning

I had TL in mind instead of Giants

yeah Rhyme could be replaced but doesn't seem likely according to reports

That's not what the thread says, read it again xd
Please do not spread missinofrmation

I think Anonimotum actually explained it pretty well: It is way too early to tell, I have heard that information, but the source is too secondary for me to be able to be confident about it

So the thought is definitely a thing, maybe it happens maybe it doesn't, maybe the info is true maybe is not. The report is not believable enough, but there could be some truth about it

Anonimotum said Cuidado

But maybe except Shin, going international

Link was about to sign with Case but he is not anymore, he is trying out for KOI now, but Sergio doesn't believe he will be picked up

Talking about Americas rn, I'll let u know

Could be yes, Riot might allow

Apparently been practicing like a god, convinced VIT

Jamppi is confirmed to stay

He implied NAVI is Ardiis first option but the buyout is big

It's in spanish https://www.twitch.tv/sergiofferra

Team with best players doesn't win, blame who is running the team, makes sense to me

This guy is very reliable. He himself said is way too early, but he has also heard those rumors, just not reliable sources is what he said

Well as he worded it it's either Redgar or Soulcas, but he kinda was implying it was Redgar who was staying. And also Sayf is not 100%, still waiting for tryouts

Cause it's easier to replace a duelist than an IGL

Alright Anonimotum is on stream rn with KOI streamer Sergio Ferra. He is not technically reporting but giving hints of unconfirmed stuff he has heard. So I'm just gonna go ahead and sum everything up and translate here no you guys can understand. So you guys understand better the context, basically Sergio Ferra is talking about the things he has heard and Anonimotum is correcting him and adding stuff. Please take it as it is, rumors undone stuff and not official reports.

TL:
Sergio: Nats and Jamppi seem to be locked in, the other 3 could be out.
Anonimotum: I would agree with what you said, but imo 1 of those 3 will stay
Sergio: Is that player Sayf?
Anonimotum: No
(Implying Redgar stays Soucas and Sayf out)

FNC:
Sergio: Mini and Chronicle could be benched
Anonimotum: It is way too early to say that, but they are looking into options

Ardiis:
Anonimotum: Has many offers in EMEA, wants to comeback. Still deciding but has 1 petered option. Huge buyout tho

Woot:
Really wanted by, TH, VIT, NAVI, TL.
VIT and TH ahead
(TH CEO and owner hyping it up and giving hints about it)

Turk teams:
No info xD

KOI:
Trying out a total of 25 players in the following days, Link is one of them who was almost signed with CASE. Most of the try outed players are tier 2
Wolfen is not 100% out, he will take place on those tryouts with the other 25 players, Koldamenta won't
Sergio Implying KOI is attempting Sayf

VIT:
Anonimotum: As I reported they are getting runneR, (he said something else but I missed it xD)

Imports:
Several NA players trying out for EMEA teams, no concrete names

The GUARD:
5 players will most likely get picked up, 2 of them already have a team. Actually I'm not sure if they would have stayed together as 5 if this didn't happen. I saw this coming and probably so did they

LEV and KRU:
Anonimotum: Both making changes. KRU probably 2 changes, LEV 1 or 2. Too early to confirm anything
LEV has thought about changing to English and going international, not saying it's gonna happen, but it could

NRG:
Anonimotum: FNS and som out, they might have tried to talk to yay, nothing concrete yet

NAVI:
cNed might not be the only one out, could be other changes

Valyn Trent FNS:
Anonimotum: The 2 NA teams that pay the most are actively fighting for Valyn and Trent, whoever loses might start a project with FNS, the FNS part is more of a belief no info on that part

Giants:
Maybe 1 change but most likely not

GE:
3 changes at least, SkRossi

He is live rn so I will update as they keep talking
Alright Anonimotum is gone, that was about it, hope I translated well, he kinda gave his approval on stream. Remember nothing is an official report, the official reports are all on his twitter https://twitter.com/anonimotum

Lol no, isn’t krea6on banned for being a mysogenist in ranked and been kicked out of everywhere for toxic?

And FA team is not the same scenario guys, yk if Turtle Troops qualified for ascension tournament they would have been picked up before they won it

Who’s the second one

Oh yeah yk who else is willing, TSM, FaZe, M80, and all tier 2 orgs

He is and apparently he is prime yay on scrims. But it's that scrims, it's a bet

I don't think it's that big of an issue

The kid is good af, been since last year he's going places. Idk if the best available tho

Trexx could be full time raze

Yes but it's not the same anymore, they are already in, you have set the rules. You have already set the rules. This is something that could happen again, if I am G2 or TSM or whoever, what is the point of investing any more money in Ascension if I can make it through without winning? I would not invest anymore

On other news of the day according to Barbar 25 players will be tryouted. Link is one of the names but not likely

You hit the nail, they don't

nvm this us bumped

Opposite, I think most people see this as "if the players don't make it to franchising there is no point in ascension anymore". But if the option is to have someone else pick them up, I think the orgs point of view is. "if an org can maje it to franchising without winning there is no point in ascension anymore"

Idk to what point they were paying, but yes still under contract for a while. They had that name because Riot prohibited Russian organizations to be represented in their competition. Probably once they it got harder contracts were terminated but it was a hard situation and can't really make deals with an orgs whose accounts are blocked

I already said in my post why that is not a good option. That is literally auctioning the slot, which 1 defies the whole philosophy os this, 2 leads to extremely inflated salaries which can be an issue, 3 If I'm an org competing in franchising and Riot let's in a random org without going through ascension I'm pulling out of tier 2, no point anymore

You're confused there, they were technically still GMB players they just couldn't represent the org and could not travel. Not the same

a team like koi is exactly the level t2 player Enzo would likely be slotted in. Why should it be unrealistic? because KC and Vitality have a much bigger pull or what? XDDD

Exactly because of what you said, yes. Both orgs are French and specially in the case of Vitality offering way more money. Also even maybe TL if they do bench Redgar

Yeah ofc they getting the Guard roster but doesn't change what I said. If TSM makes it in, G2 will say why tf am I competing next year if orgs are making it without even winning

Exactly why Riot couldn't have prevented what happened. What tell you the org won't completely pull out whenever they want

Then FAZE and the other tier 2 orgs will say why tf am I competing if someone can make it without competing
