When talking about tier 2 scene VLR in general often miss the forest for the trees.
People always complain about how dead the tier 2 scene is, but I've rarely seen people talk about how cloutless the tier 2 scene is. You might have the best tier 2 scene in the world, but that just means you're losing more money to accomodate orgs' needs. That's how you lose the scene faster. Lofty ideals with no returns.
What riot should focus more isn't how to improve tier 2, save that for when you've gathered enough capital or enough viewers to sustain that. Riot should find ways to gather viewers, especially on how to get Tier 1 watchers to watch tier 2. There's little riot can do when even majority of VLR, a site about valorant esports barely watches them.
