Riot gives in after a huge outcry – Confused streamer could save 5 e-sportsmen

earthpressnews

There is trouble in e-sports with the tactical shooter Valorant: The “The Guard” team had actually qualified for the 1st league, but Riot Games denied “The Guard” the opportunity to advance because there were problems with the management of the team gave. Much to the annoyance of fans, no team should be promoted in 2024. Now Riot is giving in.

This was the conflict:

  • The e-sports team “The Guard” had qualified for promotion to the 1st division of Valorant in the course of 2023.
  • But Riot Games decided on August 29th that they would not promote the team – and neither would any other team. Because “The Guard” had not managed to sign a specific agreement in several months. However, Riot doesn’t want to simply rank up the runners-up in the Promotion Battle because promotion should be earned within the game, not outside of it.
  • But the decision not to promote a team that had fought so hard sparked much protest from fans.

    • Valorant is a rising esports title:

    This is the new decision from Riot Games: On September 1, Riot Games reversed the decision.

    Esports boss Leo Faria has now explained that players can either split up and look for new teams, or they can stay together and promote to the 1st division together if they find a new organization to sign them.

    In addition, xQc said it could be expensive to buy the team, because such a Tier 1 team costs a lot in terms of accommodation and salary. Building all of this takes time.

    But xQc is more likely to fail because of the focus on completing a project than because of the money.
