I don't understand these complains. Tier 1 is barely or not even profitable, of course Riot is going to need as much as they can get for tier 2. SEA fans constantly complain about Riot prioritizing Korea, saying Jake Sin is bias but they try to get sponsors for tier 2 and y'all still complain. If you cared so much about your scene, just watch it on SOOP.

If tier 1 isn't profitable then why won't riot make it an open circuit with dozens of TOs?

Because an open circuit is less profitable? Unless they get sponsors from gambling sites etc. Also having a dozens of TOs will just lead to situations where the TOs don’t pay like what happened with Nerdstreet

- who the fuck gonna watch in fcking random platfrom name SOOP
- after they find sponsor & Force the FANS to watch in SOOP while they are getting all the money, why is the prize pool getting smaller?
you want to squeeze tier 2 and get all te money from tier 2, but at the same time you give less cake to TIer 2, how is that make sense

When you meant less profitable, you mean to riot or the orgs/players? How will riot lose more money in an open circuit if they don't need to pay for Franchising slots and they won't need to organize every event?

so you mean
Tier 2 is die anyways, Let's just get all the Money from them then after that who cares about Tier 2 ?
NICE :)
Guys, WHAT IF, SEA is just so unprofitable to the point that riot would take SOOP's money even though they know the viewership will dip?
My take on this is its either :
- Even when they merge the region it's still very unprofitable.
- SOOP's money is so big that no matter how large the viewership is it's not beating SOOP's money.
saynotoherpes [#13]somewhat conspiratorial but kr is scared of the sea talent and certain people at riot kr are trying to block it from happening (its 100% just a money issue)

saynotoherpes [#19]no this is very serious i was at riot studios and john riot told me about this !
Of course they're scared. Not Riot kr, but Riot as a whole. Do you think it's because Koreans are jealous? No. It's because Riot will never make a dime in Asia when that happened. There's no broadcast rights revenue in esports, so all Riot can make is from selling skins, which no one will buy when SEA gets cocky. Riot desperately wanted China to succeed. To sell skins. So surely they wouldn't want the opposite to happen. You're right its 100% money issue.
