Stendo [#2]Esport is business not charity, if you're good just prove it like gambit did.
There can be 1-2 more teams of Gambit's level in CIS if local top orgs get interested in valorant and actually invest money instead of mixing top tier players like purp0, cloud, suygetsu or ssk with mediocre players, purp0+cloud+shao+suygetsu+zeddy can easily be top 4 in the world but none of our orgs wants to pay money for getting such a roster because there's no support from riot, no direct slots, no advertisment in CIS, nothing.

Viewer don't add up, gambit final only get 5k views. That's not a good number for business.

There are no advertisments on YT or cybersport.ru(biggest CIS website for everything esports related) for valorant, Russia/CIS riot office are doing a dogshit job because the game isn't being promoted here at all, ofc they aren't going to get viewers like NA or Japan.

Nah, CIS people just like valve in general. Just like LOL, Riot Games didn't work in CIS, just like CS in Asia.

They can still try to pay popular streamers for promotion like they did with ninja or shroud

Riot have done absolutely nothing in a year to promote the game in CIS, none of top streamers with 10k+ avg viewers streamed valorant, meanwhile in NA they paid 1m+ to ninja and shroud for playing val on stream

1.6 was doing ok in Asia tho, but when GO came out things went south, partially due to the fact that valve never gave you any slots like riot is doing to cis rn btw.

Riot never pay any streamer, where you got that number? Stop spreading some bullshit number.
