Free Agents.

Where do all those who failed to make franchising end up? dapr, zombs, shahzam, marved, hazed, brax, dicey, curry, steel, babybay, trent, valyn, net, jonahp, will, keiti etc.. so much talent wasted in all regions not just in NA of course but do they join the academy teams or go back to their previous careers in CSGO, Apex, CoD, Overwatch and Fortnite or do they full-time stream?

And why is Danny aka "fRoD" coaching for the Brazilians? I hope Loud are paying him good it would be well deserved he's been winning either as a pro player or a Coach since 2005 lol

End up playing genshin like sonatraa

steel will return to his pro overwatch career

VRL dude, there’s 50 spots there, plenty of room, some orgs are making some real super teams to ascend, even offering bigger salaries than some VCT teams to make sure they get who they want

they become casters

dapr+shaz rumoured G2, marved taking a break, dicey babybay staying faze for ascension maybe, guard staying together for ascension -saya i think

they turn int coaches, casters, analysts, they are playing ascension or they will work at mcdonalds, study since there are still young af players.

so you think loud have no money?lul

did you forget there's Ascension league?

The only reason why I would see Danny accepting an offer to coach all Brazilians is probably an increase in pay or he didn't have anywhere else to go but he deserves to be paid well and I hope that he does is all I'm saying it's nothing againt Loud I'm sure they have plenty of money lol

can one team from academy make it into the main league each year?

No it's a point system but players get moved up frequently into main rosters or entire Academy teams get promoted as they improve.

nope, it's a lot more competitive and offers a shot at Franchising

There is no "franchising" it's more or less always been the wild west in CS with private organizations generating capital through investing and investors like sports teams as well as sponsors. The only true franchsing was the CGS back in the day but that failed miserably lol

Dude ESL/Blast circuits are semi-partnered so called 'legend teams' get a spot without open quals.

Any team throughout all the tiers can play in third party tournmants Valve doesn't have their own league they are only partnered with certain leagues and events such as ESL and Blast I used to work for ESL and I have a long history in esports, it's different.
