Americas:
EG
C9
MIBR
Reason: keep making the cheapest possible rosters without any interest in winning
EMEA:
BBL
GiantX
KOI
Reason: BBL are the worse Turkish team, KOI and GiantX are just making mid after mid rosters with 3% chance to pop off
Pacific:
DFM
Global Esports
Zeta/T1
Reason: complete and utter shit
Summary: these teams might still possibly improve but at the moment their stints in franchising have been utter disappointments with little to no hope

Because they bring in views, like the disparity between jp and non jp views might not be that visible in T1 compared to T2 but it's still visible nonetheless.
It's also at that time most of zeta's academy players are not old enough for franchising, and assigning hiroronn to initiator was always a mistake.
The t2 players at the time are kinda reluctant to play in T1.
Also I suspect that buyout clause plays a huge factor
Idk what to say about dfm 😂😂
Exactly the reason I personally think Franchising can't work in esports. Academies might be the way forward, but then that would put insane pressure on the players there, pretty much one split for you to show yourself, if you are good from the get go, you are retained, if you struggle, bye bye tier 1
That stable income source being the developer. Riot and valve are huge companies. Riot makes team bundles 25/75, encourage people to sub to their twitch channels for higher quality, more content and else (might even go griddy and make subs unique for every region), secure a deal with EWC and add valorant there. Valve is even easier, add team bundles to CS, make it 25/75, launch skin collections before every major cycle (half a year), 50% to valve 50% go into the prize pools of the events of those half a year (prize pool goes from 1 mil per event to maybe even 3 mil), make a separate compendium for majors like the International. Also make sticker money a part of the prize pool.
Summary: Both CS and Valorant boast huge prize pools, attract new sponsors, new players, spread to new regions and grow
yeah but they're greedy fucks, i also think an e-sports streaming platform with paid services like subbing to your team and having access to all povs while watching a match would help but unfortunately the people with money are only profit driven and that's why e-sports will never grow
most football clubs that are worth multi billions today were started in small local communities and were built by local businesses
I feel like valve have the easiest job in the world, if they have actually done what I suggest, they could kill VCT without even doing anything themselves (or doing barely anything).
1.) launch open circuit - SUCCESS
2.) launch shit like Split 1 year 1 case (ALL SKINS FROM WORKSHOP, NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING) 50% profit to them and skin makers, 50% to the prize pools of tier 1 events in that season (except for the major) I would assume each event would easily get multimillion prizepools
3.) 1 month before a major launch an operation, 50% go to valve, 50% to the prize pool of the major. (Literally maps from the map pool, perhaps a smaller skin collection, some new content but they might as well hire fans of the game who know how to code things)
4.) continue with stickers, make it a 25/75 split in favour of the orgs
5.) Force every TO to take on a region of NA, SA, Africa, Middle East, SEA, East Asia, Oceania to improve the game there
6.) repeat the shit every half a year, resulting in huge profits for everyone involved
