GC

For gc to prosper

T2 needs 10x the investment that riot gives gc.

i think its simply more entertaining to watch 5 shitty ascendant 3's run it down, and flor smurfing vs having trickaim try to role-play FNS and playing haram valorant in tier 2

also tier 2 is a complex thing riot just needs to monetize it better, if orgs can make 30k a year just from riot they'd be able to do more with rosters

if riot sells a M80 spray for 3 dollars takes half a dollar org gets 2 and a half dollars, and you sell 5000 orgs are taking home 12500

in august it was reported they earned like 30+ million from bundles in 2024, and its october now and I don't think that includes EDG which is the best selling bundle, so if tier 2 orgs can start hitting like 10-100k USD from riot in-game merch it would be nice

plus playing more often, and if riot was hosting more tournaments in the US you could have 9 that go off every month or two for tier 3( west north, west central, west south, central north, central south, etc etc)

gc is NOT more entertaining than tier 2 lol
