see, the thing is TL as an org is not broke. they just can't seem to be bothered to do that in valorant
I am not going to get my hopes up(so i don't get disappointed), bcus to me it seems they threw in the towel after actually trying in 2023 and that not working out, and they are probably fine with spending the minimum necessary since they are a big, long-standing org so they are pretty confident they will get in the next cycle regardless
