Other teams that were previously denied franchising within the NA LCS include Team Dignitas,Team Envy and Phoenix1. Teams that have been confirmed for the 10 team NA LCS franchise include Cloud9, TSM, Liquid, Counter-Logic Gaming, Echo Fox, OpTic Gaming, and an unannounced organization that was recently purchased by the majority stake owners of the Golden State Warriors.
