We all know that Valorant Esports is still in its growing stage if we compare it to the Counter-Strike growth.

Life of a Valorant pro is fun and disadvantageous at the same time. Competing on a big stage and in front of a huge crowd is like a “dream come true” moment.  Every Team here wants to win. As time goes by, everyone is trying to improve their in-game mechanics and skills.

Although, the esports career is pretty risky to pursue. Someone can not easily rely on Esports organizations.

There are a couple of ways how organizations make money in the Esports scene. They drop merchandise, they launch a specific community of their own where people can subscribe to access some interesting aspects of the team. And of course sponsors.

The sad fact is the social media engagements of organizations are less and brands who would sponsor them are planning to quit Esports because of not meeting the desired engagement. It is very hard for an organization to pay the salaries and expenses for the team unless they are winning… When the team is winning their social media and engagements go high and only then the organization can survive.

Due to these reasons, players might face layoffs and stuff anytime. But they were passionate and persevered in the game and they had to practice hard every workday for it. There was no choice for a side hustle or something. And now, the layoffs can happen anytime but they dont have jobs in other sectors to do. It is a messed up situation in the Esports scene currently.

Although, Riot games, the game dev is trying many ways to partner with the teams to save them from going bankrupt. Hoping for good luck in the industry and congrats to you. You have read the full article.
