Do you think that Riot should have other tournament organizers? Like how Valve allows Blast, ESL, Home Sweet Home, ECT to run tier 1 and tier 2 events.

I personally think it would be a great change because tier 2 teams have something to do rather than just waiting for the next VCT Qualifier or the 1 other tournament organizer Riot allowed. I also think it would be good for tier 1 because for the most part every good Tier 1 team just waits 4 months for the next qualifier to take place. Additionally adding other tournament operators would allow Tier 2 and Tier 1 teams to mix and surprising upset games to take place. This would also allow tier 2 teams to improve by watching the tier 1. We could also see more cross-region games which would be extremely exciting to see and we don't have to wait months for the next major Riot run tournament to see how a team from North American and a team from Europe play against eachother.
iMyw_ [#3]Nerd st isnt already one? And the knights monthly too?
Also, blast just did one with country vs country and they want to do a 16 team tournament too with 15 already invited
I'm not a big fan of the country v country system. Typically, the best players are on teams and don't have time to compete in the country v country tournaments. So all we see is t2 players and maybe some famous YouTubers/Twitch streamers.
uGRAVEL [#6]There are a ton of small tournaments. You're just not aware of them :/
I know there are a bunch of small organizers, but I was mainly talking about large-scale tournaments. An equivalent would be IEM Summer in Csgo. Sorry for not making that clear.

Knights monthly is essentially the tier two organizer for now

Second one is made by Red Bull, not Blast.
