With the current competitive structure, pros should quit Valorant and they should consider streaming or choose a different game for their career; Their life & career is extremely dependent on the current meta which Riot manages. Metas changes are good for the fans but require so much adaptability from the players. More so, it is bizarre why we would have a LCQ already in the first month of the year. I can understand Riot's decision to choose this competitive format (https://twitter.com/lhfaria/status/1615424736791760897), but what they get wrong is that they prioritize the fans disproportionately to the professional players who play their game. It is simply a high risk low reward. Imagine sacrificing your entire 20's just to gurantee a spot in franchising; and if you don't you will feel like you wasted your life. Their entire career is dependent on by a group of people who write the rules based on their own philosophy of what is right and wrong. Valorant & Riot is an example of why an e-sport can never become a sport, so pros should not treat it as such
