Local orgs will die. Local scene will die.
Time to move to CS2
good by rito makes matches more exciting to watch when its region vs region. Guys lets not pretend that some of these leagues have more than 1 or 2 decent looking teams. The scene will slowly die without orgs making money these players are essentially farming tier 2 money with no brand recognition. Merging the league will up the quality, competiton, viewership, and make sense for ppl to invest in long term. Good financial move from riot.
half the valo franchise player are on riot minimum salary which is 50k usd. in cs these tier 3 teams have betting sponsors and tournaments organised by betting companies which have high prizepool regularly. and dont forget the money from matchfixing. i follow cs scene i know what im talking about lil bro
https://www.hltv.org/events/7886/regional-clash-arena-europe-2024 look at this 60k prizepool and the team that won has 3 known fixers 😂
https://www.hltv.org/events/7800/esl-challenger-league-season-48-europe esl tier 2/3 tournament where nearly half the teams are known for radar and fixing. easy money for them. defo making more than teams like c9 who are paid minimum salary and nothing else
60k prizepool divided among players omg what a big deal for broke shitter strike players 🤯🤯
And of you course you would exactly know the amount C9 players are being paid. 50k is the minimum. Miniboo, a player from shitmea which is the deadest region in Valorant, currently has 1.8k viewers. He can spam ads and make more than all tier 2 cheater strike players combined. How sad kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
