why do people think gc will ever merge with vct

i dont understand why people think theyre going to merge?
not to be harsh but MAYBE only 1 or 2 players in GC will ever get signed into a t1 vct team.
its hardly been done in league
hardly been done in cs
hardly been done in basically any major fps esport
why do people think its going to be different for valorant?

At some point yeah it will probs

its cause gc scene in valorant is bigger than in most esports, where the female scene isn't as relevant

Riot has stated that their goal is for gc to be the place for women to play and move into the international leagues. Most people agree that the reason men dominate in esports is not for any physical reason like athletic sports, but because more men play games, and they have played for longer. eventually it should equalize. it's not necessarily that gc will merge with the main leagues, it's that eventually there will be no need for gc because all the other leagues will be more open to women players because there are more and they will be more skilled than they are now. Valorant has far more women players than any most fps game (this is purely anecdotal but having played the game since release, valorant probably has the most women in the fanbase of any game I've play besides maybe OW). The main problem right now is that lots of gc players get paid more and get more clout playing for gc teams than t2 teams to actually qualify for challengers so there's no incentive besides ambition.

why do people think gc NEED to merge with vct? Every gc teams had a fair chance in open qualifier

way more woman play this game bro

nobody says they have to merge.. everyone has the exact same road to qualify

GC needs to be merged, or at least create a way for direct competition to allow more GC players to enter T2 and T1 teams, for the success of Val GC and competitive longevity in general. I do not really think merging is a good idea, because that would destroy GC's slogan of representing lesser known genders by mixing it with all the other male dominated leagues. I believe hosting tournaments where the top 3 in gc compete against T2 and T1 teams every season (for example) is key for the expansion of GC players into T2 and T1 without having to merge them.
