I just want...to win something

my team has made a grand total of 3$ in 2 1/2 days. I have the talent and potential but i'll probably go bankrupt seeing as my merch isn't going up even with 4 streamers of 10 popularity that i fought to buy. gahhhh
watch the wall collide with my fist, mostly over problems that i know i should fix

I'm not sure how to handle my streamers. Dedicate all the practice to streaming and don't care about their other stats or balance the practice a bit?

Definately no, you get money for popularity and not for streaming! Streaming raise your popularity but if they have 9 or 10 it will give no results, better train them because some of the streamers have pretty good 1v1 stats.
Please be patient.

If you are dead-stuck, the best option IMO is to stop tourneys for now. They will only drop your ELO since your guys are too weak to compete on a serious level.

Set their "dedication" to top training priority for a few days, then when it's bumped, start training up other weak stats (micro,macro, vx's first). Set a couple of your weaker popularity guys to streaming to boost popularity so you re-build your finances (it takes time to calibrate the merch income). You're going to have to wait it out, now way around it.

For the love of god, if your team sucks, don't try to make up for it by snatching up a bunch of free agents if you already have no other solid players. If the agents are a bust and don't win any tournies (they rarely do straight out of the gates), you're left holding their salary and a nigh unbreakable 30 day contract.

Being patient really turns this game around. While you wait, I'd suggest tweaking your strategies if you're looking for stuff to do. Test them out in practice games against teammates with similar stats to see if it's the strategy or the player that is winning the game.

"power overwhelming"... work, dammit, work!

But popularity can go above 10, so I was thinking about him really pushing my average popularity.. The thing is I'm not sure whether he will ever win anything. He's quite decent but only has an average dedication and will probably never be good enough to really win something.

It can, but when I put streaming on my 10popularity streamers (2 out of 3 skills in training) it was going down anyway. Try yourself if you don't believe...

Wow the Market for lvl 2+ players is so good :D

Just bought a 21 y/o Korean guy who has 4.5+ in macro/micro/multi all tvx and in dedication for just 1 dollar and having to pay a salary of 10 dollars a day :D

There are so many raw diamonds at the market :o
And some guys seriously don't look at the salary. Bidding on a guy for 500+ while having a salary of 1k a day LOL!

I see, I assumed you thought 10 is the max just as for the other stats. I'll let him practice regularly for now and see how he's doing.

I just picked up a 10 year old, quite expensive, but with 8 Macro/Micro, 7vAllX, 7 Dedication.. I'm hoping he'll be my star for the considerable future. The younger kids seem better buys than the older ones really.

Yeah, Free Agent. Others did notice, I just (probably) have over extended myself to get him. It took a bidding war upto $500 to get him. Thankfully, I made about $1500 yesterday with my starter players in the Wood Team League, So i've got a bit of a bankroll to prop me up whilst i get his Endurance (0.7) up to a stage where he can compete.

They guy above your initial post paid only 10 bucks and I confused you two, nearly droped from my chair... I guess 500 is still a good deal if you can manage to survive till he starts to bring home the big money.

Compared to alot of the others that were going for 500+, yeah I didn't think it was too bad. Only time will tell. Also got 2 other 'prospects' with 9 Dedication that I'm working on moulding, but those won't be in play for quite a few days.
