This org is a complete joke and steel is washed. They will get upset by one of the tier 3 teams and bow out after another shitshow.

You're clueless
T1 in NA:
Stuck in nerdstreet weekly tournaments, will never qualify for VCT event, endlessly wasting money on insane payments for mid players
T1 in Korea:
Would definitely qualify for top-8 VCT league, don't have to pay as big salaries, guaranteed 7+ group stage matches per split on arena in front of KR crowd (if they make it to playoffs, it will be at least 9 matches), could buy the best players in the region and yoink Masters slots, much better chance of going to Champions (JP/KR LCQ << NA LCQ) and getting 600k+ from skins alone
Also Riot love Korea so much, they stream all their games on main Valorant channel, this is exposure for you
How many views would T1 get in Nerd Street mickey mouse tournaments? Not more than 10k I'm pretty confident
Being in Korea would give them a real chance to do something, they would actually win with less expensive roster
By the way esport isn't just about views statistics, I swear people are too obsessed with it
