Since changes are going to be made and you're so ass at fixing the competitive scene (at least with t2) I thought I would help you out a little, just some of my ideas.
VCT Fixes
- Ascension winning teams must retain at least 3/5 players from their ascension winning roster, this way it gives the people who actually won ascension a shot at playing in tier 1, however if the team underperforms at kickoff they are allowed to make any changes with the team.
- Dropped players will get a 6 month grace period where riot themselves will pay the league minimum (5k a month) until they find another team, only applies to players who have played at least 2 matches with the team and are not a sub.
- If possible, lower the age restriction to 16, there are many ways to bypass the child labor laws throughout the world especially for esports/sports in general but it's still difficult to do so.
Challengers Fixes
- Get rid of SOOP from Sea
- Double the current prize pools throughout all of the challenger league events, this way it gives players who cannot compete in VCT (because of this stupid ass age restriction) a place to actually earn some cash.
- Include tournaments where the top teams from each region will play each other before the actual ascension event (like EMEA), these will help teams that start off strong but might dip down a bit still qualify for ascension (maybe like championship points for challengers in the Americas at least and maybe pacific).
- Orgless teams in Tier 2 will be given a pretty small salary by riot themselves (maybe like 1k a month or something nothing big) just to help encourage and grow the scene so people are more incentified to actually play in tier 2 even without an org
GC Fixes
- Halve the prize money at GC champs, no shot the GC prize pool is the same as a first masters event, use this money to help build tier 2. And for the people who don't think this is a good idea, the entire idea of GC is to help foster talent for people to get into tier 2/tier 1, not to stay in GC because the money is already better than tier 2.
