I get sad that Valorant ended up being a franchised situation. Economics cool... spirit of competition...dead.
But what if instead of hiring contractor players that we stay with over years, we bring back from the dead 128 team tournaments... well sort of, 100... why 100?
100 THIEVES... just imagine, we lived in a time where in order to make the starting roster, you had to be the best team out of 100 teams. We would solve so many issues with coaching, strats, player salaries, t2...
Everything within the seasonal time period could be the same situation money wise but at the end of the season, they 10-99 their way back through 100 teams to get back to the starting spot. I'm sure it's against the rules but I'm sort of tired of the same cycle we go through in this win/loss thing we do. This would just guarantee that you have a squad that is tested with strats that are proven to work on other teams.
Theoretically it could be the very team we have constantly at the top. But imagine the content, drama and new talent that would rise.
