They probably going to just replicate LPL, KPL, PEL but for their own in VALORANT (where those three share same things: Being a league that is probably even larger, more prized than a S-Tier event, which is the true case for the latter 2)

Add: KPL/PEL is mobile both are at $3M and $4M for a domestic league season, runs twice per year + Paid Franchising (the worlds event of both games are $10M and $4M respectively)
