A total of three international leagues will be held in the coming year, with the event starting in February 2023 and concluding in September 2023. As per information from Riot Games, the winners of these three leagues will earn a shot at participating in the top-tier global events. It's also believed that the teams participating in the Valorant franchise league will receive a stipend of around $600,000. The three international leagues will be somewhat regional. The American league will include North America, Latin America, and Brazil teams. The European league will consist of teams from Europe, the MENA region, Russia and Turkey. Finally, the Asian league will include teams from Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, Oceania and South Asia.

The company is expected to take a call on the participating team by September this year. Once the confirmation is done, the teams will have a few months to prepare and sign players during the transfer window before the leagues begin. George Geddes@GeorgeCGedThe stipend is not $1.5 million and if any team gets that amount I will be extremely surprised. It's around 300k base + 300k teams skins/sales BUT there's an additional 400k for deliverables (if teams exceed expectations) so it's NOT guaranteed they will get $1 million.8067The stipend is not $1.5 million and if any team gets that amount I will be extremely surprised. It's around 300k base + 300k teams skins/sales BUT there's an additional 400k for deliverables (if teams exceed expectations) so it's NOT guaranteed they will get $1 million. As mentioned above, the teams are set to receive around $600,000 in stipend for participating in the league. This stipend is also broken down into subparts. Teams will receive a base stipend of $300,000. The remaining $300,000 is expected to come from the sales of team-based skins. Teams have a chance of earning another $400,000 in stipend if they perform exceptionally and complete all their deliverables. Since there's a lot of money involved in the entire process, Riot Games has put very stringent deliverables in place. Moreover, since the first league is expected to start in February, the months from October to February are dubbed the designated transfer window. Overall, this Valorant franchise league is inspired by the LoL franchise league known as the League Championship Series (LCS). While most community members have heralded this endeavor, some have pointed out its issues. Members of the community believe that the league will hinder the community's growth. This move will hinder the growth of the underdog teams in the circuit. Many also believe this move won't create an equal playing field in the market. Phillip Aram@Phillip_AramThis is not so much to blame teams. They're for profit corporations exploiting the conditions they are given. If it's fair play for a dev to consolidate market power to a select few, then they must act to ensure an equitable playing field for the players in the market as well.161This is not so much to blame teams. They're for profit corporations exploiting the conditions they are given. If it's fair play for a dev to consolidate market power to a select few, then they must act to ensure an equitable playing field for the players in the market as well. That said, the Valorant franchise league is yet to kick off. A couple of months before the first league takes place, there's a chance that Riot Games will look into the matter and consider the community's concerns moving forward. While it's understandable that Riot Games would want to follow a formula similar to the LCS, there's always a chance that they might want to do things a bit differently for this league.
