highkey gonna die in 2 years lol
completely subjective and you're free to feel that way! personally i was hwid banned for using 3rd party programs so i'd be inclined to agree! but the player count does not reflect "the game already basically died" as it is still very stable. "one horrible change and the game is going to shit the bed." goes for everything
forgot to add context:
https://www.vlr.gg/448833/valorant-to-join-esports-world-cup-with-three-year-partnership
every partenered org's decisions are probably checked by rito heavily
plus bleed literally vanished out of thin air and what team owners will do with their money should not be riot's decision
if they dislike the team or management they will just not approve like g2 carlos situation
also you changed topic from how ewc would kill vct to bleed
