Iceland prize pool should be larger. Valorant has become such a big game. Tenz probs earns more in a year.

It's fucking massive. We have to remember while it's growing fast, the big money is still in CSGO.
What I would like to see if a similar system to MSI. MSI has a minimum price pool of $250k, then a portion of skins and stuff which usually results is pool near the $1mill mark at the end of the day. And we have to compare it to LoL, Valorant isn't a big as LoL, so to be even in the same ball park as League for a normal Major is massive. I would honestly be happy with it staying at $600K for a bit. I don't think people are realization how much that actually is for a game as new as Valorant. Before the pool was a announced, people were guessing like $250K for the pool in Masters 2. 1st place alone is almost that alone.

this liquipedia page literally says its 250K prize pool
and 75k for first place
if they increase price pool to 2 million, it won't do anything anyway. No one is tuning in just because the price pool is larger.
Just look at league of legends, small price pool and still way more popular than Dota in viewership.
Only reason they are 'forced' to have such a big price pool compared to all other Riot event is because the FPS players are used to inflated CSGO pricepool where some event that run every other week has a price pool of 250k+
Imagine thinking Valorant is a big game... 80% of the community is just watching streams while only about a few thousands of People play the Game actually (each region). If it was big, you would feel and see it from Riots side. Riot knows the Game is just good for content creation and killing time and nothing else so far. if the Game was as big as you dream, they would have done a bigger and better Tournament and even add official Side events with attractive prize pool. Stop dreaming please and calling tenz would get more than 600K a year is also proof you have lost the ground to reality. And why you guys think Valorant orgs would pay their Pros a fortune to play this Game? What's the alternative for this people if they don't get signed to a VAL Team for $2K-$5K a Month? Nothing! They would sit at Home doing nothing, having just lame income. Don't forget people like subroza, tenz, wardell was nonames who failed in csgo and without Valorant they would now work at Walmart or somewhere else since they have no future in other games like csgo. And yet you think Orgs are fighting for Players they want by paying them a fortune... The average thinking of 12yo Kiddie Fanboys i would say.
If tenz would get $500K+ a year by playing VAL, you can be sure people like zywoo would move to NA just to take his place and also do well in his main game csgo. imagine getting rich by playing a content fps game that could be called "CS-Tik-Tok"
Nobody ever came from cs to Val because they liked Val more. All the Pros who came from CS switched to Val because they are banned from playing cs or they could never make the jump from tier 2-3 to tier 1 teams. For those people Valorant was the best that could happen! Without Valorant you would never know tenz, wardell, subroza, drone, hazed, dapr, sick... you would play fortnite know. Valorant is so easy that cs pros come over sometimes and hit immortal/radiant by playing just a week, laugh and leave for months again. Valorant is a good game but dont make yourself look like a clown by saying its a big game. im watching streams sometimes and i see people in high elo always play against or with the same people. this game has a lot of registered players but most of em just watch streams of their idols or spam !mouse, !mousepad, !keyboard, "whats your color settings senpai?".
Valorant made only something bigger and its twitch!
thats because why would u leave cs at the top?
some people stopped enjoying cs and left, like nitr0 and ethan, while others saw an opportunity in valorant that they havent seen in cs. cs players can easily get to high ranks because the shooting mechanics are very similar, no other reason. being good in ranked =/= being good in pro play
do you really think nitr0 and ethan would still play if they would stick to cs? Sorry but in cs you get quickly sorted out when they feel like you feel to comfortable. im done here anyway. keep thinking nitr0 and ethan are cs legends who could have continued in cs for years like nothing happened. for those people Val is an easy found feast. they are dominating tier 2 cs players in a way easier game than cs and get paid well plus they have a good chance to create a streamer career since this game is being played by kiddies who "SHEEEEESH" and "WOW" random frags.
i have played css/csgo for over 10 years and can tell game is garbage. valorant is better. never said valorant is trash. just saying valorant isnt as big as cs and it never will be since the game is not a perfect shooter game since you win the rounds / games by not showing off in this game. do you think people who see the current meta with molotovs after plant make people think "damn, i want to play this game"?
csgo gives you the real fights, valorant is more a strategic game that lets you win fights with methods that are no fun to play against. also you have zero chance winning some rounds/games. so how is this game supposed to be the best?
