Riot ruining Tier 2 competitive integrity with underage player
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4RaOKGCA70E
Allowing Player under 18 to play in champ qualifier but not in champ is horrible. As a Tier 2 team you have to pick between choosing best player above 18 and get kick by a team that can pick -18 crack, or allow themself to take -18 player and bomb in champ (if you qual) because you have to take subs
The solution was pretty easy : Allow -18 player to play ONLY in academics teams, so you dont create any biais

Is the restrictions for the sports integrity or because of child labor law?

Where do you see this? Riot so far only specifies the exemption for anyone above 16 (as per VCL roster rules), and even then it's only for the Path to Champions. And the age requirement at min. 18 y/o is only for VCT Partnered Teams, as they are by far technically working all year round and as a result are required to comply with local labor laws.

Thanks for remiding me to put the source under my vid ^^ : https://x.com/ValorantEsports/status/1980772244562297007

It's good they comply to law, as I say in my vid the problem is that only aca should be alllowed to pick -18 player, that would solve this issue

Academy are supposed to nurture talents. And when you argue bias, who do you intend that dig towards?

When you force Academies to be the only teams that are allowed to pick 18 y/o talents when the other VCL teams can't, isn't that just going to create a rift?

Edit: I see where you're coming from with the age restriction, again complying with local labor laws—but having only Academy teams be the sole perpetrators taht could recruit them?

Exactly, thats why they are more fitting to take -18 player instead ofplayer that already have T1 exp (even tho having 1 or 2 experimented can help themp grow)

When you force Academies to be the only teams that are allowed to pick 18 y/o

Not what I'm saying. I'm saying that -18 player should only go to acad, not that acad should pick only with -18

when the other VCL teams can't, isn't that just going to create a rift?

Good point. I'll say no because Aca team and T2 team doesn't have the same goal. PoC is the main goal for T2 team, and they are not in competition with Aca team for that. Smaller T2 team may only target not being relegated, if we had kept the law that not relegate aca team, they would also not be in competition with them for that. So yeah Aca team will have some advantage in T2, but since they will not be an obstacle for other T2 team, thats not a problem, but i'm open to discuss on that point (And add solutions)

I believe this is only an issue for Champs in certain countries (such as China).

Where it is allowed by local laws they will allow 16 year olds to play at Champs if they qualify through tier 2 from what I understand
