I agree. This whole thing destroyed competitive Valorant for me.
Literally zero motivation to watch it in the future, nor even playing it..
Riot always was a company that focused a lot on money. And franchising gives them a shit ton of money.
Therefore this move could have been expected, but hope dies last...and in the end it dies.

plenty of good teams disbanding... worst move ever made by Riot. but sure...money rules huh?! ...

R.I.P. DACH region. Plenty of teams disbanding right now. WELL PLAYED RIOT.
You idiots destroyed professional Valorant....

Correct, I was hyped and cheered for the BIG Valorant team, because of the legends that were part of it: gob b & zonixx.
But after reading more comments from you, I don't really see a reason to discuss this with a little groupie. :D

Insane news for the BIG CSGO team..
On the other hand, the Valorant team from BIG just died with that news (for me).

btw it is also against the rules to shoot at dead bodies and teabag enemies. Still teams do it in VCT games and dont get punished.

I do not agree with the way you said it, but I agree with the fact that Russian players that also live in Russia, need to be (temporarily) suspended.
I do not want to get too political here, but in short: sanctions are there to pressure the people to stand up against their government. Being silent means approving. A lot of people (RU) (you meet tons of them in CS) like Putin. But they also like CS/Valorant, etc. The way to sanction them, is to remove them from playing, or at least their (russian) idols in the pro-League. They need to get an awareness of the sick situation going on in Ukraine.
There is way more, but I actually do not care to explain it to everyone else who is gonna down vote this comment anyways, just because they do not get that (e-)sports is in fact political. Or why do you think Russian teams get suspended in Football World championship, europe championship, europe cup, paralympics, icehockey, handball, basketball europe cup, and so on...
But sure, you Valorant heroes know it all better.

BIG holt sich erneut den Titel!

BIG got this easily

Fire the head of the production team.

at least BIG Clan will win this tournament :D
