there can be so many nuanced discussions about how the gc scene is hindering womens' ability to work in a co-ed team or why gc teams lose to t3 teams becaude of the lack of structure but every thread has to be :
"oh remember v1 lost to nsic? so females cant compete with males well uh scientifically"
No one brings up good points against it and say “women should get to the top by themselves or we are wasting money and production on a worse league” but nothing about “higher buyouts on gc players due to their popularity in a lower play league, orgs having their female players in contract jail because of the image of their org. Orgs being unable to harbor a gc team in the long term due to franchise restriction. Long term implementation of both leagues as a complicated goal” which are interesting points in terms of business and representation and can provoke smart discussion. Most people want to be ignorant and point out the worst possible points.
No dont get me wrong, these are only valid points to question about the dissolution or validity of keeping a gc league long term. But it is completely wrong outright to deny the impact that the gc scene has brought to val esports. The whole contract thing wouldnt have even happened if meL wasnt a famous player through the scene and the fact that valorant has above 30% female playerbase is all testament to how genius of an idea the GC foundation was. I do think questioning the validity of having a gc scene is incredibly ignorant or forcefully so.
