In the middle of VALORANT Champions Tour 2022, Riot Games announced that it’s interested in franchising, similar to League of Legends and Overwatch. This means that organizations can purchase a spot in the annual league, competing throughout without risk of elimination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this wasn’t much of a surprise, it did create a lot of mayhem in the competitive VALORANT scene. Many fans of the colourful, agent-based shooter<\/a> were shocked and confused about some of the organisations that were invited to join the VCT while other popular teams were left out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten teams from each region will be a part of the newly franchised VALORANT Champions Tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
