There are rumors that he was paid more than $400,000 per year.

Rumor has it he was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars at T1, and it's impossible for any Tier 2 team to match even half of his salary, except Bleed. And Bleed is already not a Tier 2 team.

SPG plz plz

I don't think their condition is bad. The problem is, because of the must-Haven ban, PRX have to play Ascent in every Bo3. Of course, there will be some comps and strats they have hidden. But nothing will be more efficient than the basic comp.

There are rumors that he received over $400,000 from T1. No single Tier 2 club in the whole world can pay even half that(except Bleed... and they are not T2 team now). He'll want a Tier 1 team, and if he can't find one, he'll just go to military service.

What is a 'proper' win? Victory is victory. SCARZ almost achieved its goal, although it failed at one last step.. For the reasons you said, imports are the two birds with one stone, not only winning but also reducing the power of the KR T2.

nah. If Korean tier 1 teams don't win for a long time, they'll just find another game. Before being reorganized into the Pacific League, Tier 1 VCK had no viewers.

Isn't it importing to win? T2 is also there to win to become T1, not to train players. That's why Riot didn't even let the Tier 1 Academy team participate. If you want to stop imports, remove each team's will to win. Otherwise, you can modify the vcj import rules.

Koreans just aren't interested in Tier 2. Why would they seek out Tier 2 when they can bask in the glory of Tier 1? They're even more cold-minded than Riot itself, who ruthlessly abandoned Tier 2 because they're only interested in highest level competition. The same goes for wages. Koreans understand the fleeting nature of E-sports hype better than anyone else in the world, and in fact, Tier 2 players are paid accordingly.

If we're lucky, we'll be able to create an Astralis of Valorant someday, but permanent domination like league would be impossible.

Cuz there was only one Grand Final.

no. It literally means don't hurry. They said they gave it that name because the players were very young.
