Many, many players stay beyond their prime (if they even had a prime) long after they should have simply because of clout/nepotism.
Soulcas hasn't performed for a LONG time, and it has been widely known that he is a weak link on the team
The same story will repeat for Redgar
We may sit and protest on VLR, but clout/connections/nepotism will keep him in place until the organization can no longer bear the horrible results
The story is as old as time: the community, and those in positions of power, often cling to the past, afraid of the future
this is ultimately detrimental to the scene as it greatly slows the progression of up-and-coming talent, of which there is a lot in Valorant, and there must continue to be if the esport is not to die and become a retirement home like OWL
