they've killed tier 2 in almost EVERY REGION with the franchise system
and now they decide to host a event in Tokyo, killing almost all of the event viewership
because of the timezone, since the 2 countries where people watch the most are Brazil and USA
where will new players come from? how will the franchise rosters keep updated when there is no TIER 2 scene?
lots of brazilians orgs are already leaving valorant for the lack of support from riot,
this is a serious treat that we have here. what are your opinions?

Already talked about it in a different thread but this can be imo be fixed with a relegation system like in PL.
But relegation system won't work in APAC bcuz for example if a Filipino team replaces a Thai team in main league then they lose all their Thai audience.
The system which already was put in place for APAC for last 2 years was the best i think. There were lots of orgs, huge pool of talented players and a hype cross-regional competition

Why do we overreact lol... Okay, okay orgs pulling out... 10.4... What esport can support a 100+ orgs. They'll look at some improvements and go from there. Tier2 is not an easy thing to sustain when businesses and investors get involved.
