Pay to Win?

Which team do you think has spent the most on their valorant roster, and how much success have they had? Personally the teams that come to mind are 100T and SEN, with SEN probably spending more than 100T, especially after the TenZ buyout (although 100T also prob paid Ethan big bucks). I actually think that maybe a team like Acend which could become the best in the world actually does not spend as much as others since they are not as big as an org.

Hear me out, while I think they also spend a lot, I don't know if they spend as much as some of the big dogs. There's definitely no one like TenZ's value on the team, and they just signed a duelist who was relatively unknown by many fans and unproven on the big stage, which prob means they aren't paying him too much.

Well, the way you say spent the most isn't clear either.
I say TSM because their transfer, player salary, bootcamp, basecamp and many other sure is high price.
Meanwhile in SEN case only big buyout TenZ but have high return. And no bootcamp and the likes either.
While we can't deny TenZ buyout is highprice, businesses standpoint it's good investment.

I agree with what u said tbh, but TSM prob used an existing facility and it doesn't take too much cash to fly out your players. Although I do admit bench players such as Cutler, Drone, and Sinatraa should also be taken into the equation. Actually sinatraa might have made a lot since it takes a lot of cash to pull the mvp of one game into a new one.

SEN is the only team that's sticking together the longest. 100t dropped and completely changed their roster once

100t probably dropped more money than Sentinels did. Sen's most expensive player prior to TenZ was Sinatraa, who was basically the best paid player in the entire scene (tied with nitr0). Considering they had Hiko originally (big bucks cause of streams and his name from CS) as the anchor with 4 players, he is probably very well paid. Steel and Nitr0 as well (especially nitr0), with Asuna probably behind the rest of them. Ethan is also probably up there with Nitr0 in terms of salary. Not to mention, they have a benched player, albeit cheap, but still under contract.

Sentinels original roster, other than Sinatraa, probably weren't paid too much considering Sinatraa was not only the best paid, but was considered the anchor for Sentinels (much like Hiko) for fire power; They struck gold with relatively unknown CS players (other than Shahzam and upcoming talent Dapr).

IMT don't spend shit lmao. They just find players. Ask them. Then build them off to sell them. They have a weird scouting process where they put like players against eachother or smth i guess. But they don't spend as much as other rosters.

G2 have also paid for so many superstars. I guess it's working a little now. But they are also probably one of the orgs who spent the most.

Yeah they literally held their own invitational and were like "hmm what do we pick and choose from this assortment of teams".

Lmaoo. The funny thing is that all of these players are all still really good now. And honestly if they picked a different selection they might've been able to keep their original roster till now. Rip Taimou though.
