GE ? they said they bring viewership
after their results viewership died
DFM? why fans would turn on the stream to watch their team get 13-0ed?
league tier 2 isnt as bad as whatever the fuck Leo Faria is doing with valorant t2, either way league isnt dead in those regions because people play it, csgo is dead in all asian countries except Mongolia and China and also dead in NA because people simply dont play it, I personally think valve and other TOs should give some more slots to minor regions so they have a pathway to tier1 events and the scene develops because of it but Valve mentality is to have the best of the best in their events regardless of regions, its a matter of phylosophy since Valve wants regions to take care of themselves, if CS is very popular in X region it will produce top players and viewers which equals a good local scene able to produce top teams/player and with time it will gain them more slots, I dont agree with Valve approach because I want CS to be global and I hate Valve letting the minor regions die instead of trying to make the game more popular in those, the thing is that if enough people play the game in X region and they build a proper local scene they will be fine, this is hard to do in practice tho and I think Valve should try harder to promote the game in those regions and incentivize orgs and player from those regions to develop the scene by giving them a pathway to t1 events instead of just waiting for their scene to grow organically like Europe/CIS did.
TLDR: Valve values sporting merit more than anything and wont try to grow the game in minor regions because they want it to grow organically without them stepping in
