Fellas, you do know the teams are also still receiving incentives and incomes from Riot as part of the partnership agreement, right? LOCK//IN is only a showcase tournament, of course it won't have some big prize pool.

just to give every franchise team International LAN experience, cause majority of these teams won't make top3 to go International LAN again

it is a glorified showmatch/tournament that somehow has the prize of giving the winning region an extra slot at Tokyo. one tier below master for sure

i will come back to this when Champs has a $1 million prizepool at best. i know people don't like comparing valorant to other esports but this is just pathetic really. other esports' biggest events have incentives/incomes from the dev as well. Valve has stickers for the majors, Ubisoft has the R6 Share program. this is just pathetic

Team skins are coming, and if anything when it comes to income, it'll most likely follow some semblance of similarities to LoL. VCT is in its 2nd year, and there's still a 5-10 years' worth of timeframe to catch up to CSGO and R6's income (even though there's much more added pressure knowing it's Riot and their success with LoL)

and val already has champions skins+ team skins coming this year. honestly if you want to have such a shit take while totally ignoring what is already out in public, pls just leave this scene. go watch fkn r6 if they have the better devs and shit.mf really be saying whatever they want to diss riot

you illiterate fuck please don't reply to me next time. clearly you can't read context clues, or anything at all really. "other esports' biggest events have incentives/incomes from the dev as well."

"as well"
"as well"
"as well"
"as well"

you fucking dumbass. i clearly stated that I knew that valorant has champions skins. that's the bare minimum. every major esport has that. there's no excuse for a 500k prizepool you imbecile.

Well, that's rude.

Also, even in recent years, Riot has put smaller prize pools even for a well-established competitive ecosystem.

MSI's prize pool is only 250k USD. The Mid-Season Invitational, the only other international tournament in League's ecosystem that pitted each league's mid-season champions with each other (comparable to Masters.)

Riot prioritizes its internal incentives and incomes for their top-flight competition (viewership, the Partnership program, cosmetics, merchandise, etc.), while still giving an external prize pool to supplement an already streamlined economic flow. This is a once-in-a-lifetime tournament. I have no doubt that come Masters and Champions, the prize pool will be increased per process.

Its fair, its not like any of these partner teams can complain considering they'll get close to $1M based on their operations throughout the year.

Lol why would Sao Paolo have a big prize pool it's literally a kick off tournament that's single Elim with no seeding. The result is so randomize especially with new Meta and every team being new. Imagine some fluke org run to top and get big money ...
