or like a mid-season region face off across all of the region, winners from each region gets automatic ascension tournament spot plus one more qualifying spot for the tournament for their region

would be amazing to see. Its crazy how we wont see tier 2 valorant for another what 6-7 months? . RIOT needs to do something quick or at least let third party organizers step in and host a few more tournaments.....

unless you're at the top, pro gaming sadly isn't an easy option

i think that at this point grinding radiant on ranked + having a exotic personality + streaming is more viable than going pro

The streaming market is also a big stretch. even some popular pros don't get that much view cause in order to get more views you need to entertain your audience

Imo the whole tier 2 calendar is too short too little, they need to host more international events between splits then a final ascension tournament at around august or september

The bottom line is: the franchises format strictly managed by Riot is a failure. I really don't know why you prefer to kill your own esport scene rather make a big season with tournaments organized by other big leagues like eleague, blast and else.
