A couple of days ago, our esports team unexpectedly caught some local hype on Twitter 🐦‍⬛️ It’s clear there’s a real demand for transparency in the market. That’s why we’ve started working on a separate website dedicated to our esports division, where the team’s financials and competitive results will be published live. Honestly, I haven’t seen this kind of format anywhere yet. Curious to hear your thoughts: what part of this story matters most to you, and what would you want to see first from the inside?

📍 Thread: 8 simple steps on how to make Valve Ranking System better. I talked to the CEO of my esports team and we gathered 8 points. They are based on our experience running an organization. @mauisnake @Thorin @launders @Professeur_CS

7.2) It's doesn't make any sense, because the whole purpose of ESL's system was to get to the Pro League, starting from Open. There's no real reason to tryhard in Advanced anymore, because it won't get you further.

8) Make way for more Tier-2 and Tier-3 events Currently, only CCT hosts VRS events for Tier-2 teams. So, any team that drops below top-100, is left with only hard open qualifiers. Valve need to make a way for smaller tournaments with top-100 — top-200 teams.
