That's how every major Sports Franchise fans are.They support their team rather than the Individuals that play in them.
If you switch teams after your favourite player leaves then it's pretty clear you weren't a fan of the organization to begin with and just liked watching a specific player.

Well in most major Sports Franchise fans identify to the organisation for some reason. Either they had players they were fan of when they were young or had parents who were fans or share proximity with said organization/team.

In Dota that translates as being fan of Mouz because you are German or Liquid because you like the site or liking some players on a team.

I like DK because of the players, I have no feelings about DK as an organization, I don't even know who their sponsors are and I would guess it's the same for most people.


It's really just a time issue. Most sports franchises have been around for decades so eventually you become attached to the team itself and not just the players. eSports just hasn't been around long enough for that to happen so it's predominately about the players.


I agree, we are actually seeing the start of real franchise with EG/Na'Vi and and other long running organizations that expand in different games. I don't know anything about LOL or Street fighter but if I check a stream with an EG/Liquid player I will pretty much automatically root for that guy.


SK and Fnatic are also good examples although SK has kind of fallen pretty hard.

Thats not really true. In Football, people support players just as much as teams. I was a fan of Tottenham Hotspur for a while because Rafeal van der Vaart played for them. Once he left, I lost interest. A lot of people support Messi, Ronaldo or Ibrahimoviz without necessarily being fan of the team

ask those people and they will tell you they have a Team they will always support

Obviously if theres a player i like i would cheer for that team (Arsenal now that Alexis Sanchez players for them), but Deportes Arica will always be my first and true love <3

Never mind, LD will roll Newbee. At the very least, Newbee will bothered with him.

Yes, spectre counters tinker if given enough space.

I get that you dont like sports or teams for all that matters

fine, but thats you

To clarify, borderline everybody BUT you feels this way.

Nah, eSports are different from other sports. Loyalty to organisations that mostly last only a couple years is totally different to ones that have been round for over a century. If you want to do that it's fine, but if you don't I don't see the problem.

Where I'd make fun of people is if they're a "fan" when a team is winning and not when they're losing despite no changes in personnel.


Loyalty to organizations...

They is nothing 'noble' about being a fan. Emotional investment in and vicarious living through teams/players should be for fun and entertainment only. Anything more is unhealthy and delusional.

I did explain that point in my post no? If you lose interest in a team once your supported player leaves you weren't really a fan of the team to begin with and just liked to watch the player.

I've never supported Chelsea in my life but I always liked watching Didier Drogba play and as soon as he left I completely stopped following them unless they played against United.

I always liked how franchise fans stand tall when one of the fans starts cheering for their team because of a certain player, looking down on them. It's like sports man, who the hell cares.
