crazy to see so many people choosing orgs over players and becoming fans of profit over players
thought this community was better than CoD and other tier 5 games but I guess not.
just sheep willing to buy hoodies and merchandise of anyone in franchising over supporting players who grinded their way.
sad sad day.
NG1nS [#6]u reached 4 huh?

players > orgs.
players make the game not the label.
I_HATE_MCE [#4]Agreed. All the corporate shills on this forum are sad
it’s sad eventually they will be wearing their chevron sponsored jerseys and Red Bull undies

The point is TenZ and Shahzam doesn't deserve to be in the League. Teams, such as Optic, proved time and time again that they are the best consistently while Sentinels haven't. Tenz and Shazam only got their spot because they are profit machines for Sentinels and got a large following of fans. Riot picked their franchises based on who will make the most money and sponsorships for them. So, it's still Profit > Merit.
Tyzehhxo [#13]I just say let people support who they wanna support. Some people literally only support an org because they like the look of their logo. Let them be.
And I just say let people call out Riot for being sell-outs. Some people literally want the tournaments to truly reflect the best players in the world, not a tournament for the players who generate the most money for Riot. Let them be.

It's a business dude what do you expect? You just want VALORANT to run at a loss so you can be satisfied? The best players in the world WILL be on franchised teams I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Yeah selling-out is common business practice too? What is YOUR point?
Valorant isn't running at a loss. It will only run at a loss because Riot is trying to expand their Valorant Esports scene as quickly as possible, even at the cost of its quality.
Yes, let's just pray and hope that all the best players will enter a franchised team, and not only that, but pray that their synergy will remain the same. Then, get upset if anyone has any qualms about the uncertain future. What a joke. You act as if changing teams is as easy as changing clothes lol.

But he didn‘t call out riot but people who become fans of orgs instead of players.
So why not just let these people be fans of who they want to be?

Same difference. If you are a fan of a decision made by a sell-out company then you just don't care about the quality of the tournament scene and are indirectly supporting the company's decision. I don't get why those "fans" shouldn't be called out for it too. As one of those "fans" if you have nothing to say, ignore it, and if you have something to say, refute it. But this, oh don't hurt the fans rhetoric is soft as fuck. This is a forums website where people are encouraged to state their opinions for fuck sakes.

Mans is so pressed about something that we haven't even seen play out yet LOL. I understand what you're saying but to be profitible in any business you need to make choices that will benifit your vision in the long run. None of us truly understand Riots vision for the future because im sure they're being tight lipped about things.
In regards to players, Do you think that teams will just get the shittest players known to the scene, stick them on a team and hope for the best? You think Riot would allow this? cmon man, I get you're pressed about all of this but Riot has actually done a decent job of laying a path for Tier2. Its not like we wont see the Tier2 scene anymore, we just wont see Tier1 team vs Tier3 team 13-0ing them in open quals.

what the fuck are you on about, can anyone on this site read?
The post is "watch players, not orgs", guy said he watches Shahz and Tenz, and you're on about "merit"? Lol what, the guy watches two players, who cares if you think they don't deserve it, the point is he watches players not orgs.

I'm not saying "don't hurt the fans", but I just don't get why you would "call out" someone for just being fan of an org???
Like smh as long as they're enjoying the game idc.
And don't tell me that the quality of the tournament scene will suffer. I think that the tournaments we will have next year will be amazing and probably even better than the ones we had so far.
Sure it's heartbreaking for some teams like optic that didn't get in, but franchising ensures a longtime viability for valorant as an esport.
It's not only sellout, it's also being sustainable.

Tyez how much do the orgs pay you to post this stuff lol.
are they paying you with a special G-F***L code or some sweet gaming headset?? maybe a sweater or something?? clothing??
cringe lol
imagine supporting a proposal that only allows (25) players a chance to be successful.
crazy stuff lol and people support it
esports best attribute has been about the ability for people to move freely and achieve success on merit and being the best
now you just have to be the most marketable for content bc winning doesn’t matter. they get market share guarantee by only 5 teams from NA. you’re forced to root for an org just to be involved in the scene
