queueK [#2]darkzero and
shopify
did shopify actually drop them? I thought they were holding on and waiting
PrTsty [#3]riots fault for sure lol, they shouldve announced tier 2 val with the franchise announcement, not the whole information but they shouldve said that there is a way to get into the top competition
it probably wasn't all okay-ed by all the franchise stakeholders at that point
ItsMeDio [#6]Akrew?

Welcome back boys
no way they resign the same roster tho
ItsMeDio [#12]they won't make money lmao
even without franchise, t2 won't make money
yeah that's what I thought,
So these orgs who will be in t2 will just act as player farms
And will probably only rake in money through the player buyouts
And maybe just a tiny bit from the t2 tourney money
PrTsty [#13]wdym by that?
like the sponsors, teams, etc. everyone investing in the franchise needs to be okay with having some teams getting "easier" path in
(easier not in the competitive sense, but that they wouldn't have to deal with the application process)
revenue sharing and other money related stuff may have to be dealt with too
CraigGarth01 [#10]I still don't understand, how are these T2 teams going to make money?
getting their players poached
CraigGarth01 [#16]yeah that's what I thought,

they will produce a great talent like cryo, zander, zekken, etc and farm a good money from these t1 franchise team

T2 scene gets decent viewership tho.

they didnt have to pay for it tho, its either u make it through applications or you qualify, why would a team be mad that someone made it without applying rather by qualifying like why would they care
and riot has made so many false promises anyways that one wouldve hurt the least lmao

Well, it's tier 2 so the idea would be to invest accordingly to your market. So, players will be much cheaper, and the prize pools will be much smaller. The revenue mostly coming from investors and sponsors. The goal of course would be to reach International to get the stipend and access to International tournaments.
Now, on the org side it's there job to market the brand to sell merch, increase viewership, maybe host events (Knights) etc. And of course selling talent to T1 orgs.
