why does riot not relegate terrible teams

M80 and TSM are both clearly better than MIBR
I don't understand

itd be so much more fun cause thered be a lot less pointless games year round.

the reason why is because itd be harsh on the orgs and they want to make franchising appealing

riot is stupid

if it was about performance they would've never even picked mibr in the first place as they never even got top 3 in brazil

Because if relegation existed their franchise league would never exist as no org would agree to such terms. Orgs want stability not the threat of 0 money if their team performs poorly

valorant doesnt have the eco system to support relegation if a team like mibr got relegated they would just leave the esport. so riot give them stability expecting them to be a upstanding org and invest in their esport. its really that simple. if they dont do that after 4 years they will look at new partners.

Where did the figure 4 years come from? Is that the contact length for the VCT partnership?

you should be thankful for this because LOUD would be the only Brazilian team left in franchising.

Franchising as a whole is fucking dumb..

Galorys n' 2G will clear these bums

If relegation were to happen, then Brazil would only have one representative in Loud. It would greatly hurt the diversity in the leagues, and limit new prospects from getting spots in tier 1

Cap mibr no diffs both

they should consider relegate inconsistent team like sentiluls

I couldn't care less. Franchising has to end
