Org that accept to invest in T2 should be partnered and safe from relegation.
In that scenario, maybe every T2 should go to 16 team like in APAC.
This offer stand only for the first 6 or 8 structure that accept this offer.

2 group of 8, one group is partnered team safe from relegation, 2nd group is the group of promoted team that bottom 3 is relegated, top 3 of each group go to PO

I don't quite like this tbh, it give orgs too much leverage as if they haven't already. (Opinion)

I feel that riot should focus more on how to get how to attract more people to watch tier 2 .

Bring clouted org in T2 by giving them certitude they will stay forever might bring people in T2

That works but clouted orgs can only do so much. When I watch, occasionaly I will get valorant ads, I think the ad content should revolve around vct more than the game tbh

Have 15 partner teams, and let other 5 teams qualify through challengers

The challengers teams qualify through a 10 team tournament, and the top 5 qualifies to VCT

After champions, the 5 teams that qualified to VCT through challengers, now face 5 new teams, and the cycle repeats every year

Of course, this would be easier if Riot didn't obligate orgs to relocate, but they already make challengers teams relocate only to play for a year, so

challengers teams dont have to relocate, everything is online (except for LANs obv)

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen in some random article about eu challengers that at least 3 of the 5 players in a team have to be living in/based in the region of the league.. so relocate won’t be the right word here but if u wanna play in the dach league u have to be in the dach region etc

You want 80 teams in tier 1??

yes, more teams mean more valorant

...well, yeah, but how long would the season have to be? How many games would teams have to play with no rest?

4 groups, top 1 qualifies to semis and top 2-3 qualify to knockout rounds

The problem with having many matches with Riot's format is that maybe you have to play 3 games on 6 days, you lose, and you have a 6 month vacation

If the leagues are longer, maybe having 2 internationals per year would be the best for schedules

Maybe the leagues last for 2 or 3 months, and the internationals maybe have less teams

I would imagine that there's a 2 month/1 month in a half of break at the end of the year

Hey, if you can make it work, then I'm all for it. More teams means more opportunities for young talent to shine.

Not financially sustainable.

there's 79 teams in franchise of LoL, why can't it be 80 valorant teams? (which only 60 of them are partnered)

Because league isn't valorant. League often got a preferential treatment for a good reason.

League makes way more revenue. There is a reason Worlds is such a bigger event.

So a team that won champ may be eliminated and a team that finished last could stay ? I dislike this idea
20 teams is too mush, my dream would be to have 10 partener and 6 ascended

more teams means more valorant. maybe this would mean one less masters event and just 2 internationals for year

but it would be pretty much like CS

this change is focused on the competition and not the viewers, so fair enough, I guess

and it's the same in the ESL Pro League, doesn't matter if C9 win it, they'll have to qualify through the ranking points

Faria don't want more team for validate reason (more game would just plsit the fanbase and make a burnout), 20 is too mush, 2 ascended team is not enough, 16 is a good compromise because it make easier to make a format for the kickoff, a mix between swiss and double elim would be optimal (you've got 4 team with 1 loose and 3 win after 4 round)

One of my weird dream is to make less round in a side (10 or maybe even 8), for making slightly shorter game and allow more team without up the broadcast time (and allow more BO5, and make soloQ a little bit less, and reduce the number of round for a remontada and give more suspens and many other reason to be fair), but thats just me being weird

should allow academy teams

I think they are academy teams for a reason and are not ready for tier 2 yet

I tend to agree with that, and technically it's now the cage, since a T1 team can have an acadmy team in T2 at least they have 3 women.

Classical T2 teams with 5 man is a more complex subjet, I don't see any problem with them competing in T2, BUT, i'm not 100% sure they should participate to ascention (Or should be release in case they won), in case of a woman team qual the structure should be allowed to keep their GC team, but they should play each other at round 1 to be sure no team will loose on purpose in end of season

I like the idea, but wouldn't that just be sort of kicking the can down the road, like then you might have a problem with tier 2 orgs just paycheck stealing, with no incentive for them to create ascension winning rosters

I think in that scenario partenered T2 shouldn't be more helped by Riot more than any T2 roster, because if not... Well the concurrence gonna be distorded

Anywat, if Riot see they do no effort, they might remove their T2 partnership

Not 100% sure a lot of pertenered T2 team will win a lot of money with that to be fair, maybe the reach balance
