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 hated the move at the time and after but in no way is a chance on a rookie anywhere near as bad as superstar booming

      Ryoma had already been playing for like 3 years and had just played at MSI when 100T picked him up, he was not a rookie

      That’s the thing. He wasn’t a rookie. He was a known quantity that sucked that they picked up and had to bench.

        He was coming to NA from OCE and by riots standard was a rookie.

        I still think they should have picked up Damonte there.

          That’s a good point yah. Them picking him up a second time adds to the insanity though
