To clarify
Riot changed the way Valorant works so that any team can make/win an international tournament
But they chose 4 teams in NA to become partners
They give those teams millions of $$ AND a skin in the game (they get a percentage of sales)
If an unpartnered org builds a moneyball team that absolutely crushes at an international event- those players will be poached by a partnered org
It happened to us with Brawk and Mada going to NRG it is happening to C9 who just lost partnership and already letting their players shop around
I just don't know if it is worth competing in the esport long term as compared to investing into an esport with a truly open system
Normally I do a twitlonger around this time of year but I’ve been pretty MIA these last 4-5 months. I like to keep with tradition still for this holiday season. Three people who retweet this tweet will get 100$ on January 1st. No need to be following me to win. Happy holidays!
@LudwigAhgren@Fwiz blockchain doesnt mean crypto. there are usecases of blockchain pertaining to security which might be used by a lot of people but nobody will know. for example in the future your data packets might be sent between you and servers using similar tech
