So you think because they got one expensive player they have enough money for more... Or maybe that one player has emptied their budget for other expensive players?

That's like saying a team got Peyton Manning on a huge contract so they probably have money for Tom Brady as well.

EDIT: I just realized you're from EU so my American football reference may be shit. I apologize.

I get the concept. Just replace american football with real football and those unknown guys with messi and ronaldo.

Acer is a big corporation and if an acquisition of an expensive player is justifiable marketingwise they sure do have the potential to buy anyone.
Ofc the esports team has a limited budget so they probably wont buy just anyone whos good at the game but someone who offers enough exposure too. If they are convinced it is the right move and have had positive experience with innovation im sure they would not be afraid to spend a lot of cash ( in esports context) because its not a lot in comparison to the overall marketing budget of such a huge corporation.

I am not sure Innovation is the best marketing and exposure wise. Scarlett and MMA imo are but Innovation is just super good. That is all he has going for him.

I dunno, some teams value results and frankly, the best way to get exposure for your brand is to have your player stay in a tournament longer and get more stage time. The EG way is not the only way.
