GC vs Challengers vs VCT

Do GC teams not scrim and practice against Challengers/VCT? also why are the GC teams not able to qual against challenger teams? the only reason I think is that they don't get good practice in, cuz there is no way men have some inherent advantage in esports (as opposed to physical sports). If someone who watches GC and Challengers could explain the skill disparity to me it would be nice!

NOTE: I do not watch GC or Challengers and I am not hating.

VCT is obviously tier-1
Challengers/Ascension is tier-2
Game Changers is like tier-3

I don't think there's a point for VCT teams to practice against GC teams

Skill disparity between VCT and GC is huge btw

in Bobs recent killmovie on twitter theres a clip from c9w scrimming against 100t

but thats the same 100t that lost to mibr so who knows

Don't quote me on this, but I have seen FlyQuest Red scrim against Sentinels on one of the scrimbux posts a bit ago and I have also (100% sure) seen G2 Gozen scrim against FNC.

But to answer your question, there's a few factors that come into play when it comes to GC teams not qualifying:

1. The competition is not easy and GC level of play isn't on par with tier 2
2. Only 3 serious attempts have been done so far (by TL BR, G2G and SR), because most GC teams "want" to stay there
3. Only 2 GC teams in this moment have 4+ best players of their region on a single team (those being TL BR and G2G)

only the best (like top 3ish) GC teams scrim against challengers or even VCT teams but they usually get rolled. (understandable)

it's good practice though

idk but you should know that the most cracked player in GC is Florescent, might say something abt this🙏

Team Liquid Brazil trains and competes with male teams and have been playing the Game Changers circuit along Challengers Qualifiers, this year they got really close to make it, they overcome open qualifiers and lost in Closed qualifiers two matches away from making it to the main event, so I'll say they already have the level and now it's a matter of time. Take into account that is a lot more difficult for an entire female roster to compete at the highest level purely by demographics of female gamers, but it's probably easier to perform individually in a mixed team, take Katsumi for example, and the closest example I have is KRÜ Conir, she played challengers before franchising in latam south in a mixed roster and was close to make it to masters (they were below Krü and 9z, the best latam ascension team)
