T2 scene after the franchise

imo the T2 scene after the franchise is gonna be doomed

T2 LoL scene exists, and teams play in VRLs rn

if riot puts all of their resources in t1 when franchising is a thing like blizzard did with overwatch league and contenders, then there is no doubt that plenty of orgs will pull out, invevitably killing t2. i do have faith in riot however, to support t2 well enough that orgs stay and keep the second tier of competition healthy

yes , lets give our opinions without any proper reasoning or points
very smart

yes but we'll never going to see a team like GUARD upsetting T1 teams and qualify for international events.

depends on the restrictions riot put for 3rd party tournaments

3rd party tournaments probably gonna impact the tier 2 scene a lot

Literally no one watches T2 LoL except for EU Masters, and thats only because ex T1 players are going there

if a team of five kazakhstanis or five albanians are good enough, they'll qualify to the world championship and win. you won't get to see such things in franchising
storylines like bad news eagles in csgo would be non existent

I'm just curious of what ppl think about it mr gyro

Tier 2 tournies are severely underfunded and has a lack of huge organizers and I don't see it improving at all once franchising starts.

that's exactly the con of franchising which it's bad for a lot of up and coming teams

u didnt ask a question
u just went
t2 scene dead

riot done a decent job with vrls in EU

what makes u think it will not work in NA or APAC?

It says they have a "Path to Pro" system where if youre skilled and you want it, its yours through in client tournaments. EVERYTHING depends on how this mode can lead someone to Tier 1, which they dont explain how....
