There Are No Tier 1 Esports Orgs, Only Tiered Game Titles
First I want to say, this thread is coming from the understanding that esports organizations are not just competitive rosters. They are businesses operating within the esports ecosystem. Esports is just their marketing

And we’ve had multiple teams DM us the last 2 days asking to join Frost on salary for this RLCS Season💀 like. Unless your roster is a demon, you’re taking home $30. And even if they are, we’re taking home maybe a few hundred?!? Teams and players need to rethink longterm value.
From what johnnyboi said on chalked cast, heres what the potential prize distribution for RLCS 2024 could look like.
top 128 30$ each
top 96 45$ each
top 64 75$ each
top 48 125$ each
top 32 225$ each
top 24 450$ each
top 16 Main Event - Should be roughly same - 90%

I’m working on a few sources for this. But I really assumed that Clovarity leadership reviving Spate would mean Spate would operate differently.
$6000 budget and $0 to talent is awful. It puts casters in a terrible position because if they speak up publicly, they get
$6,000+ Prize Pool & no pay for talent lol
Not to mention, a format that just dilutes the prize pool.

It's incredible how many orgs in esports skip "Branding". Branding isn't just your orgs logo! It's "What personality traits do my social media posts embody?", "What's the overall theme I use for graphics and posts?", "What does my organization stand for?", and so much more!
