According to numerous sources, the North American organization CLG is getting ready to join VALORANT in the next few months after submitting an application to take part in the partnered league in the following year.
During its tenure in the LCS, the franchised North American League of Legends league, CLG developed a strong relationship with VALORANT creator Riot Games. This relationship continues to this day. The organization has been around for more than ten years, making it one of the more venerable ones.
CLG maintains a lineup of VALORANT Game Changers, which the organization most likely will utilize as a point of differentiation when applying for a partnership.
Within the next several months, the company plans to make an effort to deploy a male VALORANT roster. However, it should be aware that it will face severe competition from other prominent companies who are also trying to have a team in the partnered league.
CLG, along with virtually all of the other leading organizations in North America, has submitted a partnership application with Riot for VALORANT. In the event that CLG was granted acceptance, the organization would join the partnered league to compete against other granted organizations. This league will begin play next year and will include teams not just from Brazil but also from Latin America.
By September, teams will receive notice as to whether or not they have been admitted into their respective associated leagues. This is the time period that is closest to the beginning of VALORANT Champions, the most awaited tournament of the year.
Several institutions may explore the possibility of joining the North American league because it is anticipated to have the biggest number of viewers. For instance, the European-based organization G2 has reportedly submitted a proposal for a franchise in the North American region. This was initially reported by journalist neL and has since been verified by various individuals. According to the reports, G2 has also submitted an application to play in the European league as a fallback alternative.
