this may be a questionable take, but i was thinking about how leo said that the goal for t2 is purely to just be a scouting league for partnered teams and how each team that wins ascension is only in the vct circuit for 2 years. i need one of those teams to win champs one year so he can realize that no relegation is braindead. like genuinely what would riot do if one of those teams/orgs won champs one year? tell them that oh well you still have to go but sell all your players! stupid system

Tbh riots system is killing tier 2, not even sure why orgs are even fielding rosters next year when there is so little benefit and pretty much a guaranteed net loss.
Winning ascension is already extremely difficult and if you lose its a long off season where orgs are obviously gonna pull out. And if they win its only for 2 years no matter how stable the org is
For starters, ascension tournament is too early in the year and the off season is way too long, to the point where it's just burning money to keep the rosters fielded.
Also there needs to be a better incentive to go through the grueling depths of challengers just for 2 years of being in the main circuit whilst losing a shit ton of money in the process
you realise that if events in the season are more spaced out, resulting in a shorter season which a lot of people want, the revenue that orgs are going to receive is not going to be better right
the vast majority of the revenue they get is from the teams actually competing, if they compete in the same amount of matches or whatever over a long period instead of a shorter one the revenue they get is basically the same
you're going to be burning money to keep the rosters fielded either way
what's a better incentive that you reckon should be provided for winning ascension
oh my god, this argument is so dumb. Its not about how well the org does its about how safe they are financially. That's what's important in eSports rn. With how unstable the sport organizations, especially like the Guard, could collapse at any moment. There are always gonna be bad teams, its impossible for every team to be good. When a team is bad in the NBA no one wants to relegate them and replace them with a minor league team because thats absurd. Leo knows that the Ascension teams can win Champions or something but that doesnt change anything, its not about skill level its about keeping the sport alive for as long as possible. Plus KRU showed why relegation is stupid, teams can have bad seasons then show up and play well anyway the next event. Another massive problem is representation. This is a problem, especially in Pacific where there is only one team representing each minor region. If Team Secret got relegated there would be 0 Phillpines representation which would be bad for the game and for viewership. It would also seriously hurt the scene in the Phillpines
