Since you're British and making comparison to sports, let me remind you that in the most popular sport in UK (and the world) teams that outspend their competition by a huge margin are almost universally hated. That business practice, despite (sadly) being commonplace in sports today, does absolutely not sit well with the majority of fans. And neither it should because money should never have been allowed to be the deciding factor in sports to such a huge extent.

And the same holds for almost any other sport as well (not sure about the American based ones, I feel things might be different there).

The only way to have a fair and reasonable competition today is to have a central (kespa-like) organization and salary caps and transfer caps for all teams involved.

There was a thread like a few months ago, about Liquid not being competitive enough and not winning tournaments, and EG getting better and better. I guess these games are the conclusion to that thread :-)

What, that's just not true at all for anyone I know who's into football. People complaining about other teams spending practicies can be attributed back to own-team bias. They're never going to complain when their own team spends x million on top tier players. Only when teams they don't support do.

That is such crap, Man Utd has the largest fan base of any football team and very often spends over 50 million in one year, I think you have severely underrated how much fans enjoy watching the best talent in the world on their own soil. Yes some fans will make fun of teams with money but it isn't to say money is a bad thing. For example Everton never get any money to spend and their fans often point out that they do very well for their lack of money, that's not to say they wouldn't welcome money themselves in fact some of the supporters put their own money into the club.

As for the big clubs being hated the more powerful you become the more enemies you make, many people may hate Barcelona but almost everyone can appreciate the football they play.

People on TL are so stupid when it comes to TL and EG. Always viewing it like good vs evil.... It gets a little silly. Nothing wrong with the way EG does business and no reason they should be hated. I get the Team Liquid bias, this being their site and all but the amount of useless comments that are just a lame attempt to take a shot at EG for losing is silly.

This also doesn't even come close to changing my opinion that EG is a better team than TL. 3 Bo1s is silly, never liked this kind of format.

You should think about it in the context of this:

1. Manchester City was a winner way before United was.
2. United got money and thus begun to win. City suddenly didn't have it and begun to lose.
3. Recently, they got money again.

really, City is a little club that could that got lucky. they got blessed. we really should be rooting for them and for the americans to ruin the money machine that is united.

and go TL rah rah rah

Where are Jinro, Tyler, incontrol, lzgamer and machine? it's like they disappeared from the competitive gaming scene. :o
I mean, I understand that they are not performing well compared to the other members of the team, but I wish they would at least get some screen time, it has been ages since I saw them playing.
