How to keep the tier 2 scene alive

Riot needs to implement some changes to the tournament economy throughout the year and the system itself:

  1. Make larger 3rd party tournaments or LANs throughout the rest of the year after champs (or starting now)

  2. While the idea of franchising means that there are no promotions, teams that are good enough to compete shouldn't have to wait for a roster change just to compete on the main stage. Keeping the idea of open brackets and new talent entering keeps the scene alive for longer.

No new talent being filtered through a lack of a healthy tier 2 scene means the sport will die fast, that's why esports like CSGO have lasted so long (not including Louvre agreement).

Thoughts?

eventually every team will be in need of new talent no team can keep recycling the same players in the scene over and over and expect it to work

How to keep it alive?

Reset everyone's expectations about what tier 2 eSports really is.

Part-time jobs at best. because if orgs can't make money or get any palpable and meaningful brand exposure from having a mid tier team, they have exactly zero reason to invest in it.

Prize money from the very masters is barely even worth it for mid size / large orgs.
