Player salaries are so inflated that even if the player performs it’s probably not worth it, but some players have incredible agents which has lead to some insane signings.
Swordart to TSM for 6 mil still boggles my mind. No matter what angle you look at it, it makes no sense, except if someone was intentionally trying to sink the org.
TL Pyosik is another more recent one. Not nearly egregious but idk how there are people that get paid to make decisions like these.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if HLE’s owners don’t watch any League of Legends. They’re actually one of the richest orgs but year after year they put together the most frustrating rosters.
I understand why it happens, but I always find it sad when star players from minor regions go to a major region and have middling results, which results in the region losing a lot of its spark, and playins being way more dull. All the Taiwanese players and Levi for example. I think it’s something that seems small, but has actually had a really negative effect on the League scene.
