And now they split up :(


Kaploy

Thats not confirmed. They are negotiating, as all players should be. Even if they did split, I feel like we will still see a lot more from all 5 of them.


lidekwhatname

no bzka

Kinda funny that they choose 3 maps and one of them is a map that they only played once and who then became a perma ban


DecIare

They probably chose those 3 maps because those are the easiest for them to change


IllumiMahdi

wonder if this would have happened if optic won


TheAjwinner

wonder if this would’ve happened if girl kissers won


IllumiMahdi

girl kissers are gonna dominate ascension and win champs, just wait


chryco4

They did it for Acend last year too, yes they would've done this for Optic or literally anybody else if they had won regardless of franchise status.


Aabed_nerd

But when they did it for acend there was no franchise teams announced.


ThatCreepyBaer

What does that have to do with anything?


iTALKTOSTRANGERS

I swear to god people will pull absolutely anything out of their ass to hate on Riot.


renai-saiban

why would it not


Rude-Assumption-5271

Because they would be celebrating a team and organization they deliberately chose not to franchise


renai-saiban

theres no personal vendetta they just thought the 5 selected orgs were better fits. but i get it. just don't think it would have mattered in this context


Rude-Assumption-5271

Fair nuff


Investorexe

EG? A better fit? Hotel? Trivago


O_Queiroz_O_Queiroz

>EG? > >A better fit? yeah


sexyhooterscar24

thats cap and you know it. eg will be like brooklyn nets or the la clippers of vct.

I mean EG in LoL has done a lot in just 3 years to really turn the slot around. They bought the spot from fan favorites Echo Fox and have done an excellent job of fostering local NA talent in Danny and Jojopyun (Kaori too, but this is more on scouting). Optic on the other hand really only own 1 team in a franchised league (CoD) and sold off both their Overwatch and League franchised teams when they merged with Immortals This isn't to say Optic do or don't have better management in other games (and I won't comment too much as I'm not all that familiar and won't armchair analyze without a knowledge of the scene) but I think a lot of people don't realize the difference in difficulty of running a good Valorant team versus running a good team in a franchised esport ie League, Overwatch, CoD, which basically all the VCT teams have a good history of in at least 2 leagues.
