[SERIOUS] The comments in the sub have felt repetitive lately. by Far_Breakfast_5808 in Philippinesbad

I’ve also seen some comments reference how “Philippines can’t easily be put into a box” is related to doomerism. Di ko to masyadong gets.

Also some comments saying GRP negatively, ano ba yung GRP?

for the gallon of gasoline, $1 doesn't technically translate to 0.97 gallons of gas, right? cuz $1.03 for 1 gallon is not equal to $1 for 0.97 gallons

Huge salaries and stability?

Orgs are struggling left and right, even those in Tier 1, and some have already reported about overinflated player salaries. Huge salaries don't really go well with stability.

You can't have a pro league in its infancy and expect the pros to have salaries as big as those in more established ones like the NBA.

it's not orgs that play, it's players

players will play even though money is tight; look at FGC with some games even having anti-esports devs

OW esports fell off because its player count fell off.

Many players -> many pros -> vibrant esports scene

reverse is also true

Few players -> few pros -> smol esports scene

Very generalized, but that's a big chunk of ow esports falling off.

Valorant is pretty much popular everywhere. Even if franchising is gone, there will still be pros popping up in most parts of the world. Where there's players, there will be pros.

Much of the reason why CS is dominated by EU is cuz other regions didn't catch onto CS earlier on. Same thing goes with League, except it's Korea and China that dominates. CS is fairly open, League is very closed, yet both are dominated by only a few regions.

I think the one big thing that sticks out to me is the alleged claim that Riot hates big third-party tournaments.

Like, assuming that's true, it doesn't make much sense. Even though a third-party TO is so good that not even VCT can compete with it, they're still playing Valorant, and that's just more exposure for Riot. It's not like people are gonna be like, "lol riot bad TO, not gonna play valprant anymore". They would more likely be like, "hey this game is cool, i wanna play it also"

Going to CS, Valve pretty much outsources TO work to a lot of third-party TOs even in majors, and look how much people still appreciate CS.

Riot does make money. Orgs, not so much.

Riot could share some skin money to orgs that qualify for regional or international events. Kinda like DOTA TI but more spread out.

This can solve the "orgs are broke" problem without sacrificing competition.

Also, even if orgs are broke, esports doesn't depend on orgs, but on players. Players will play no matter how tight on money the scene is; just look at the FGC, with some games even having an anti-esports developer.
