BBG Update video Owner hints at Riot setting up a Domestic league, which could be good for the T2 scene everyone is unsure about

well yeah there should be some sort of VRL or tier 2 setup for non franchised teams in all regions, Europes structure has been decent so far with the VRLs, not perfect but its better than nothing.

VRL has been good. But have you seen the groups for the winners, put the strongest leagues in 1 group…

I’m pretty sure the whole franchising plan is that large regions ie. the America’s have one ‘S tier’ league shared between NA, BR, LAM that the best players play in and qualify for Global comps in, and then the ‘A tier’ teams play NA only, or BR only, and the teams fluidly move up and down leagues depending on performance

Yeah I saw, its fuckin wild.

What I meant by it being decent but not good is that

  1. viewership is below riots expectation
  2. most leagues outside of France and Spain dont make enough or have enough support to make it seemingly sustainable
  3. The fact that leagues like CIS have been bonked all together (thats not rlly on riot though to be fair)

this sounds like a good idea

Way more likely the players move individually, not the teams. Franchising is a system designed to have the same teams be in the top league and moving teams up and down isnt a good idea. A team could be cut from franchising if the consistently play very poorly and have no fanbase, but its very unlikely.

Yea if those leagues have good competition, livestreams and money pools then orgs and players would still be interested to stay. Gives players a chance to get scouted

Probably VRL were the test for the future of t2

Well I’m pretty sure this is what the system is supposed to be; it’s not my own thought creation. I forget where I heard it from but supposedly this is what Franchising is supposed to look like
