As the valorant community knows, there has been word going around about franchising and a new league potentially starting.
In my opinion, this will put tier 2 and 3 teams in jeopardy and there wont be much room for other players who want to play in the pro scene.
Considering how professional soccer works, where teams who finish at the bottom of the table get demoted to the lower league and top placing teams in the lower league go up to the higher league. I believe this could be a new league system that would work and would be more organized than the valorant events and tournaments we have at the moment.
Events like valorant champions and masters could work how the champions league and europa league work in professional soccer. The top placing teams in the league compete in the bigger tournament and the ones who dont quite place at the top but are right under the top teams get to play in the smaller tournament. This could be the same for all regions and all the top placing teams from each region can still play against each other.
This might seem like a not very thought through idea and not a great idea from how I put it, but I think something in these lines could work as a new format for professional valorant.
