Well, the question is how many teams can afford to pick up LoL and Dota2 squads.

Is the layout any indication for a future change on the other sites?

well at least we have our answer as to why this site turned to shit. It probably took a lot of staffers and time to setup new LoL team/curse gaming partnership and website.

at least I have some closure on how they could have fucked liquiddota up so badly. I will sleep well from now on.

The math behind funding an Esports team is a mystery to most of us. But because Riot throws their cash into LoL and all the matches are in teh same place, I think an LoL team would have less overhead.

If you mean the layout of tll, it's pretty much just fucked up (tested on firefox not chrome)

There isn't a team to pick up for TL. Then again most western Dota pros suck so that's not all that shocking.

If I were TL, I would want to build a team, rather than pick up some mash up of friends that think they can go pro. Most of the best teams are built, rather than picked up as a group of 5.

I dunno I think Naz at least said that he wasn't ruling it out. But liquid has somewhat drawn away from the right fit with the tl brand and looking at the best chance to win stuff.
