"Esports is about winning these tournaments annd winning prizes and just handing away one of those prizes to a team that didn’t win just doesn’t feel right."

I hate to tell you this but there is plenty of tournaments where not only the first place has winnings? Bleeds disqualification only meant that the prize now goes to first and second in ascension, as the first and second best teams are the oines supposed to be ascending... Boom proved that they are better than every team besides SPG at ascension.

Your argument that other teams got close to beating SPG is pointless, because SPG qualified from upper bracket. Boom beat DSG, Boom beat Riddle, Boom beat Full Sense...
They only ever lost to SPG, and the only teams they did not beat were teams that were pretty much immediately eliminated. You cant make any argument for another team potentially being better than Boom when they beat all of those other teams. If you run another tournament now you have a bunch of unprepared and incomplete Teams scrambling to win that will tell you nothing about the teams actual potential.

First off no they don’t, most tournaments give only cash as a secondary prize and that’s fine but the losing teams don’t get trophies.

Boom are getting a temporary franchise slot.

Do you not understand how important that slot is? It is the only reason orgs even build t2 teams and develop players, it’s like riot giving team heretics a champions trophy for being in second place.

You need to understand that these franchise slots were made to be won so other orgs not chose for franchise can be allowed a chance to join it temporarily.

Literally handing it over to the losing team just isn’t fair to the other teams. Boom had their second shot at beating spg and lost it. And yet they were given the slot for free?

Boom is the ONLY org to be given this third opportunity, how is that fair for the other orgs? And other players?

Also about setting up the tournament. Riot should have known bleed was up to no good for months. While we don’t know when it happened there should if it was severe enough of a transaction to cause riot to terminate bleed than it would have happened months prior allowing riot to set up the tournament for bleeds slot. Or atleast given the other teams a warning that they should keep their rosters to play an online tourney or in the studio they have.

Have you watched VCT? Do you know that plenty of regionals have the prize of qualification for internationals across multiple placements? Similar to how ascension can result in multiple placements having qualification to vct as a prize? Do you believe champs should only have one team per region playing, since it would be unfair to hand out qualifications to losers.

The slot is meant for the best T2 teams of their respective region. With SPG ascending to T1, Boom is the best T2 team in apac. They did not just hand it over, they handed it over to the team that was second in apac ascension. Any other team could have been second in apac ascension. Any other team had their shot at beating Boom and they missed it, why would they deserve another chance?

I really hope you realize how non-sensical your argument is and just dont want to admit it. Because this a concerning level of stupidity.
