Even if its all about money, the people running the former teams seem to have more personal vested interests, fewer shady investors. Ehhhhh...there have been some shady fucking investors. In fact, the EG brand itself is far from clean. That said, I don't even know how many people from the OG EG are even around in this anymore. It might just be similar to Dignitas. Keep the old brand for fans and recognition but entirely new back office. | ||

Bjerg now part owner of TSM, which I think is a recipe for disaster and will only fuel the "conspiracy theories" that he forces his junglers to do what he wants. I think its a terrible idea to make a single player a part owner without the other 4 | ||

Not like you could convince me TSM had a good environment before, but I think making one player explicitly more important than the rest is a recipe for disaster. one player being more invested in a team is not the same as one player being more important in the team. bjergsen is both but they are mutually exclusive of each other. he could be let go of the team and hed still hold his stake so theres no difference. | ||

That's the interesting part. What happens if 100T buy Bjerg. Does he have to sell his stake in the team? | ||

It's also simply a way of binding him in another way than via his player contract, making it more likely he stays while playing or after quitting. Maybe Regi (presumably current sole owner?) is making it easier for himself to quit in a few years, that's also a possibility. The way the original article is written, it suggests a lot of change to me. | ||

From my experience in a (completely) different sector at one of the big four, the difference between an equity partner and a salary partner (partner with or without ownership) is huge in terms of dominance in internal discussions. Dependent on the exact agreement with Bjerg, the difference may be big or small, and the result be good or bad.

Last I heard Regi had to sell some of the company for fundraising, but remains the only person that is still a majority owner of their team. | ||

It seems like it might have been announced by Riot Korea but I couldn't find any official Riot statement on it in English (maybe because of timezones? But I didn't look suuuuper hard) | ||
