Man I knew it was a bad idea as soon as it was announced and the way riot was going about it, but to see it go down like this... How can I even support this fucking game and competitive scene anymore?

No one knew shit until this year about franchising, and then everyone was still in the dark about who was getting in until after champs. So riot specifically used players they knew would be out of jobs to promote their competitive scene and tournaments, while hiding the truth from them, because they didn't want the players and orgs to leave.

It was a scumbag move, Riot should of been clear with their intentions from the start, and public about what teams where getting in. Most of the NA scene thought 7 was the minimum, and while that might not be a lot, that's still 10 more players + all their staff with actual jobs. How they justified cutting scenes in halves or thirds blows my mind, because it's not like NA was the only place to get the axe. Did anyone have an actual problem with how VCT was ran this year? Why couldn't it of stayed the same?

Look at the top NA rankings, all of our highest ranked teams outside of one didn't make it. It's a fucking disgrace to all those players that made our scene great, tried their hearts out, and actually showed up for the tournaments... not just stream farmed and said shit on twitter occasionally... but actually dedicated their lives to the game and the scene. It's fucking disgusting.
