Yeah Valorant is expensive who knows if its even profitable you definitely need to either already be in another industry (Such as 2G which is like a video game store) or play like a different game that is profitable to afford Valorant (Literally every org) Disguised, Acend or even MxS proved it. Of course for some Valorant is a lot more profitable such as Sentinel, LOUD, Paper Rex etc dus to bean exposure. But in overall this is why a lotta teams are dropping out of tier 2 Valorant where it is as expensive as tier 1 but wayyy less brand exposure (example in NA include DarkZero, Oxygen, M80)
