How would you kill VCT

Instead of asking how to improve VCT like normal let me do the opposite with this hypothetical

Say you work for valve and you become an industry plant at riot, and you've just been promoted to Leo Faria's position
What's the most subtle but effective thing you could do to kill VCT (you would have to be able to sell your idea to investors/the community)

I would: Remove ascension (I would spin it as some sort of thing for stability), do exclusive streaming on YT for some short term deal (thanks OW). What would you do?

Step 1 : ask Leo faria how he would manage an esport scene and take note
But fr tho, kick all apac team, give Korea 10 slots, and have champions 5 KR teams, 5 CN teams, 2 Americas team and 2 EMEA teams

Remove viewership rewards on Twitch, viewership outside of China goes down by >80%

-Region based invites for champs and masters (the less teams you have in the playoffs of champs/masters, the less invites your region has at the next year's edition) -> higher level of competition
-cut off all the advertisment online -> no need to spend the money, everyone knows what valorant is
-Remove any struggling teams in franchising and hire new found clubs backed by huge sports owners like Kroenke or the Glazers
-remove viewership awards
CS 60 mil player base and Major Viewership of 10 mil, ez

Make it so that for internationals go off of viewers of the previous. So with China having the most viewers at champs they get the most teams at an international at half and so on and so on.
This will make it so no one watches other than China and the game is dead because they are ass and eventually it’ll die there too because it’ll only be EDG winning and people will get board.

tbf riot do so much to boost viewership (rewards, co-streams, less games) yet the peak viewership numbers on twitch are roughly the same

I force Sentinels to clear house and sign all balding 30 year old toxic CS:GO players to their roster

Invest all the resources into KR and CN and transfer all streaming rights to bilibili

as far as i know he reviewed vods from 2022, how is that even relevant in 2024-25 season is my question, and even if it is a rule, then banning a person for 1/3rds of a season is way too much
