@DumbsYT Completely insane to me because the template for this already exists. Counter strike esports is infinitely more entertaining because it doesn't have franchising, and you *can* have shit like 5 random Bosnians making grand finals at a major (remember the Finnish ENCE?)

A C*NTENT CREATOR'S TAKE ON ALL THE COSTREAMING DRAMA:
It is crazy for people to shift blame to costreamers and creators, when the core problem is way deeper
Costreaming is the byproduct of people WANTING to watch LEC/LCK/LCS, quite literally any esports
But the main product is just not good enough for them to actually spend their time on watching it
The main reason for that? Lack of personality, lack of story and lack of genuine "entertainment"
Los Ratones was an amazing example of what GOOD personality, AMAZING story and GENUINE entertainment can bring to the table
I had never watched 3 weeks of LEC in a row since 2019 before LR came to the scene, I was quite literally sitting on my couch watching LEC like I'm a 40-year-old dad watching my favorite local football team
And the same happened to my friends, who had NEVER previously watched ANY League esports matches
And I can 100% say, the same happened when KC and Mkoi first got into LEC in their respected fanbases
What do these 3 have in common?
Personality, a good story and genuine entertainment
But you can't keep the hype up forever
The product of "League esports" has fundamental problems, that cannot be fixed overtime without doing anything
You CANNOT manufacture stories, they need to be created by the players/owners themselves
Riot (and other esports orgs) can only ENHANCE them
I've seen multiple esports orgs try to dip their toes into genuine content creation, which I do find amazing because sometimes the ideas are fun and can only be made with the budget they have
But seeing videos with 500k views about "fun guessing games" content and then seeing videos with LITERALLY LESS THAN 100 VIEWS ABOUT THEIR TEAM OR PLAYERS (yes 1-0-0) IS DIABOLICAL
Because the teams ARE NOT able to utilize these numbers at all because the CONTENT isn't coming from the players themselves, it is coming from the TEAMS trying to set the content up and VIEWERS playing along the videos
There are very few players streaming/creating content, being a personality or be entertaining outside of them going to the LEC arena and playing League
Just compare it to Cloud 9/TSM/Fnatic players back in the day
I would follow people people cus they GENUINELY WERE PASSIONATE about not just being good at the game but also being entertaining
(obviously League itself was in a different state as well but you get the point)
The cultural impact that Los Ratones had for western League esports was quite literally 3x of all LCS teams combined in the last 3 years
Fuck man, Baus could watch paint dry for 1-hour and it would have more cultural impact than LCS finals
Little bit of a side note but teams having content creators for the team making content, "can" be a valid strategy the nullify the void of "the team not being entertaining enough"
Good strategy in theory, but getting random content creator with high views doesn't do anything, the creator HAS TO BE GENUINELY included in the team, emotionally and thematically
Good examples of successful ones are Tarik for Sentinels and KeshaEUW for G2
But that's a whole other story on how esports teams cooked that one
So what can be done about it?
The core problem is that product of League esports currently is boring, lacks passion and entertainment
And it has a lot to do with fr*nchising because it enables the teams/owners/players to basically... do nothing
Obviously, everyone is still trying their hardest to win, keep the content going and all that... but it's not enough
You already made it, so even the most passionate player/owner/team cannot keep their PEAK passion forever
You are still getting paid, you are still able to compete and you are still able to even win your region's league
So why bother doing anything else?
And that's where you lose the audience
And you cannot blame any owner/player for that, it is just how franchising works
And I know the OWNERS WOULD HATE if Riot got rid of the franchising, after all, they invested 10+ millions to be part of it
But I also assume they do not like their investment being valued less than a shawarma + coke
PEOPLE WANT STORIES
LET PEOPLE HAVE STORIES
I would honestly love to see just some 5 unknown EXTREMELY PASSIONATE Bosnian guys destroy Tier 1 teams for a season
Quite literally would be there every day watching that if they would be winning
People love underdog stories, and that is something not possible with no gateway to actually play and prove yourself
That is how you create new fanbases, new stories and new banger entertainment... organically
With PASSION from the players who want to prove themselves
Not just in the game, but outside of it as well
PASSION IS THE KEY
but the lock is missing
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
