I’ve been following up with the students from Streamer U like I said I would
I noticed a correlation in decreasing viewership and decreasing hours streamed
This is likely because some are discouraged, and it’s hard to be motivated when the numbers aren’t good
So, the point of saying everyone fell off is that this is not a unique or terrible experience. It was an inevitability
My viewership is down
Kai’s viewership is down
Viewership is not a controlled variable so it’s better to focus on what is controlled. Making cool shit and finding joy what you do
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

I’ve been playing val since the beginning and SR is clearly one of the best orgs in the world with how much effort and care they provide for their teams - they have set the bar so high and I have genuinely no idea how they didn’t meet the criteria for partner 😕
Unfortunately, @ShopifyRebels was passed on for Valorant partnership. Will share more thoughts later, but for now enjoy a (no longer relevant) player card concept.
