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.
Didn’t Perkz go to C9 from like 2.7m per year with a 5m buyout from G2. It was nuts and his play was pretty up and down in NA
Perkz does not seem like the type to not care and steal a paycheck but it does really suprise me that even if extremely overpriced they didn’t dominate with perkz. He was mechanically more skilled than any lcs mid and a leader in game.
