what qualifies a team to be considered tier "x"

for example, all franchised teams are t1, and all challengers teams are t2

but then what happens after that?

but at that point any team who declares themselves "pro" shoots straight to t3?

id like to say that t3 players are semi-professional and have jobs since knights really isnt as competetive and viewed regularly as t2 (challengers) and t1 (franchised), i consider a "pro" player as someone who has financial security and is dedicated to playing in an established league.

knights tourneys arent really connected to a league and there isnt consistent playing since its every month or so, challengers has an established schedule and protocol that teams must follow cuz its from VCT and riot.

because tier 1 and tier 2 nowadays is strictly seperated by franchising whether you like it or not. teams like m80 only seem good because the only competition they are allowed to face are (objectively speaking) dogwater teams. until m80 makes it into franchising, its a tier 2 team

furthur more, i think tiers are based upon the competition a team faces. teams like kc seem like trash but then again, they are facing against the top teams of emea. m80 seem good, but then again, they are facing against free agent NA teams
