you just crushed a team consist of 5 players and a coach dream just because they didn't meet your criteria. THESE FUCKIN PLAYERS LITERALLY DECLINE TIER 1 OFFER just for playing and ascend together and at the end, you literally said "no, fuck you".
I said, let them play together as a team whether it be current franchise org or other non franchise org
LETS PREFACE THIS FOR THE GUY WHO DOESNT UNDERSTAND HIS OWN ESPORTS ECOSYSTEM, THE GUARD DOES NOT OWN THE SPOT RIOT DOES, THE GUARD CANNOT SELL THE SPOT AND HAVE NO INTENTION TO DO SO.
THE PLAYERS ARE NOW ALL TEAMLESS AFTER WINNING AND THE ENTIRE LEAGUE SUFFERS FROM LESS COMPETITION.
NICE JOB YOU ABSOLUTE GRAPE BRAIN
PLEASE RESIGN FROM YOUR JOB AND NEVER COME BACK.
Nah. He says it opens a door for slots to be sold which is right. For ex : NRG owns the slot for 4 years and if they delay and dont sign the documents for 2024, which disqualifies them and opens door for another org to take its place. Now, financial transactions or under-the-table shit could happen if they allow teams to be replaced. I think something like this must've happened. The Guard is not interested in eSports and fired everyone last year, other orgs could've approached them to do this.. we dont know
No it doesn't The Guard as an organization is going bankrupt, they have all but 10 people as staff and will likely withdraw from the OWL and CDL this year as well.
They also just ended the contracts of everyone on the Valorant team and gave them severance pay, the reason they didn't sign the league participation form is because they knew they were going bankrupt and would have to close.
THE GUARD have nothing to sell to anyone not contracts or the slot.
