You think he would have paid Hyun from that money? Could be possible, he probably just went super all in with the Loco team.
It's kind of tragic in a way that both times Quantic collapsed it was supposedly due to their LoL teams leaving.

I don't think the first one was the league team leaving, hell hai went on starcraft reddit and said he literally found out about quantic dissolving from it. The first one died because the owner then was a bit too eager and spent too much.

Honestly, what former Alternate did, (create their own company, offer naming rights to a title sponsor) should be the standard, and RIOT should be helping teams achieve this.

I wonder if current teams who haven't done this might be able to do it now or if there teams just say no to it.
And yes maybe Riot should have a look at this. I highly doubt they like this situation either where teams buy LCS spots kicking the players who earned it for there own.

That players society team model might be profitable for players in the short term, but terrible for the team as an entity in the long run, what if a player wants to leave, or the rest of the team thinks he is underperforming, they will have to buy out his part... the more I tjhink of it the more complicated it gets.

If they have contracts (unless they have opt-out clauses) they will be locked in. Tbh, its not much of a problem with the TSM/CLG/fnatic/EG tier of teams - these are reasonably big business, so its not a big deal to be 'just' an employee. The problem is when you have these 2nd rate 'e-sport clubs' Copenhagen Wolves, Lemondogs, Quantic, etc, that they aren't always looking out for their players interests.

I mean forming a company is so amazingly easy (at least in Canada) that I have one (cost me like 60 bucks? for a sole proprietorship) for my contract work, - it was very simple to do. I know that a company with 5 people is more complicated but nothing you probably couldn't pay a business lawyer to make. Nothing too expensive for sure - and considering the thousands and thousands of dollars at stake, the outlay of $200 or so, doesn't seem that unreasonable to get something that the players control.



You can put clauses in the company 'a company charter' that deal with these situations. A majority vote to kick a player, or whatever the team decides is a fair method of kicking/buying out a player. I mean people don't love lawyers, but there are reasons that they exist - to create fair and equitable ways to do something like this.

Apparently Odoamne and Febiven are gods in yolo queue who beat all the top tier players on a regular basis and voidle has been performing far better with them.

He's the first Romanian player on a decently competitive team, Dota is still way bigger than LoL here. By the way his name means "oh god"

Did you just compare E-sports (with teams consisting of 5) with a prison? xD

if na and europe want to ever be competitive with asia they should be trying to get as far away from the player owned teams model as possible.

Because business owned teams do so well *cough* Dignitas/Curse/SK *cough*

This is about players getting screwed by there team when they earn a spot only to get replaced. Not about competition.
