9.increase kills needed to win deathmatch to 100 (or make it infinite if possible)
10.introduce new ranked rewards or something else to grind for

lul, so bad

flag

1. How much?
2. Yes. This basically saved the scene of games like Fortnite and we have plenty talent in this age gap, why not?
3. Yapping.
4. Flag + Yapping.
5. Both Masters should have 16 participating teams each, Champions should have 24 (Franchising regional leagues and their respective T2 need a rework aswell, this format is bad).
6. I'm not sure, the ratio for regional and international match-ups are already ideal, the problem is with the tournament formats. 5th topic
7. This rotation ratio is ideal, specially considering Riot loves this shit 2 groups format (worst team of each group gets relegated to play ascension. 5th topic again
8. REALLY important, definetly agree with this.
9. Best DM format right now is probably CS' one where you just get points with a fixed timer, It'd be lovely to have DM against bots.
10. Good point, even small rewards like RP for top players of the season would be enough to bring the hype of grinding back.
11. I don't know about this one, I'd say it's unrealistic to sponsors to allow split up audience (even when it's just 2 matches of the same tournament).
12. Couldn't have pointed it better. There's no point in buying those most recent franchising bundles as they are not appealing to orgs' fan bases and do not identify with it. It's just not appealing.
13. Erm, I believe it would cause some bugs and even crashes, but definetly would be good to have new training features specially DM with bots, like I stated before.

just copy cs2 system
they started the completely open circuit in 2025, and cs esports are thriving, just look at the viewership

i agree with everything except:
1 the money that'd come in isn't worth the moral compromise
2 18 is a reasonable age already, that way players involved in t1 are fully grown adults who are responsible for their own actions
4 there's no point in gc already, especially given this is not a traditional sport, but it's always been restricted to females + lgtvhd, no point

majority of these aren't being done because they need more money, mfs here really do have no clue how expensive shit is
