question about the guard

#1

michaelisupset

if riot finds that the guard doesn’t have enough financial stability as an org what will happen to the roster that wins? could G2 potentially buy them out and make franchising?

idk where this bullshit idea of the guard not being financially stable comes from. cutting costs doesnt mean they're not financially stable, its more of the opposite really.

yes i think an org with massive billionaire backing is financially okay. they overemployed and realized that, the only mistake they made was employing so many people for no reason in the first place.

guard could buyout every valorant team. they rich rich and even with the recession, they should be doing well bc their sports teams have been dominating

also, if they were broke, they would do normal layoffs (let go of a few people in rounds), but they just cut the entire esports department

you are allowed to criticise the team that you support btw, you dont need to be so deluded. We arent going to bully you or call you a fake fan if you say anything bad about the guard. You speak like a baiter but its all genuine so its very confusing

i criticize the guard when they need to be criticized. obviously the layoffs were shitty, but they were necessary. you're so adamant on virtue signaling that you don't stop to think about how to run a business. the guard isn't a charity case

brother what are you talking about. all this virtue signalling shit doesnt exist anywhere outside of the US lmfao. laying off staff is pretty normal as most orgs are struggling, but thats normally 20-40% MAX; Laying off 100% isn't a good sign at all and does not scream financial security at all. Obviously their owners HAVE money but if they aren't willing to spend it why would that be appealing to riot?

Obviously not 100% as the players are still contracted, but every report on the layoffs calls it "every staff member" or "all of its employees". Once again, what are you fighting for. So supposedly they didn't lay off everyone and actually have a couple of staff members, why would an org like this be appealing to them over an org like G2 where they have a developed team, have a gamechangers team, multiple esports and revenue incomes etc, rather than an org where they have a big investment group who are clearly not willing to spend money

bruh Kroenke does not wish to compete in esports.. he literally sold the apex team to Sentinels. If the guard wins, he can and most likely will be selling it off so yeah get ready to change ur flair

guard has almost unlimited money. they're cutting their esports bc it isn't profitable most likely

You guys don't get it yet?? G2 released their roster to buyout the guard. I thought it was obvious by now.

G2 got cut last minute from franchising due to carlos' behavior on twitter, and shortly after the org parted ways with Carlos too.

even if TGRD were financially unstable (they ain't), that "rule" only applies to partnered teams, not the ones that qualify thru ascension. + i'm pretty sure that the ascension spot would belong to the org, not the squad, so g2 would have to buy out not only the squad, but also the spot, and i'm sure riot would have some regulations on that meaning there would be a super hefty pricetag
