Whats the actual point of these academy teams? Promoting players is so rare. But good for them, get paid to play

Produce players that can either be promoted to the main roster(like how T1 promoted dawn) or they can be sold. Plus they can win more earnings from the plenty of tier 2 tournaments that the main roster can't compete in. Also, these guys aren't going to have big salaries whatsoever so there's no reason not to have an academy team if you're a big org like FaZe.

Still, getting money better then not getting it. So right now academy teams are just hoarding players and making it harder for other teams to pick up replacements and so making them more reluctant to let players go without asking big buy out

to play on lower tier bro, most of tier 1 like sen, faze, tsm etc. didn't (or can't) play on low tier tournament. while their main team only play like once in 3 months, i think this is their effort to keep their relation with their fans or val community on the scene. also to gain or keep their sponsors through val scene.

Teal Seam already plays every tier 2 tourney and participate in VCT. So by signing to an academy team they get the VCT removed even, so less options for the players

but in return they got proper monthly salary which is good for them.

I would expect a proper academy scene to be introduced sometime in 2022. Orgs like TSM, C9 & T1 who already have academy teams are just trying to get the best talent to develop

Because other orgs ask for insanely large buyouts for their players

I love that NA vlr has so many academy teams

I think the fact that NA cs didn't have a good way to pay+develop players that aren't ready for tier 1 hurt the scene pretty badly

Despite the many iterations, Teal Seam are a strong unsigned team. It’s great that these guys are finally at the stage where they are in discussion with a big org like Faze. Really excited to see what they can do if they are signed.
