Days like this are where you’ve gotta value the hard work the LPL streamers and broadcasts have done to keep up the stories of a bunch of teams many viewers have never heard of or followed There are going to be some very confused people watching LPL’s promoted teams next split!

I appreciate @MrsChimChimLOL show and getting this out of Perry, something I've known since Perry's interview with Travis. Reading through this thread: I've never been more motivated to step away from T2 and my work. Majority of the thread is talking about why money was thrown away on these players. The reality is it doesn't apply to the minimum salary players, it applies to the orgs that gave Academy players $300k + to buyout jail them from going to LCS teams. The number quoted was based on California Minimum Salary in the state. These players are competing 8+ hours a day in scrims, not to mention solo queue time in the office. Given the time investment, LEGALLY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO BE PAID LESS!! And the community response is they were paid too much and didn't provide value? Blows my fucking mind. How many triple AAA baseball players or G-League basketball players are providing direct value to you as a fan while they try to make it? The value is there when they do and you know what? The difference of salary between Jojopyun and Humanoid for EG when they went with Jojopyun nearly covered the costs of Academy for the year according to EG. If you want to talk about the exorbitant salaries of some of the pro players in the space and the lack of monetizing those players and personalities, I would say that's more than fair and I've been on the record for that. But going after T2 players when they got shell shocked by the same people that paid those salaries for the T1 players and within 6 months of me moving out to LA to cover NACL btw, I find to be beyond gross. 0 understanding from the community, and 0 empathy or sympathy from the community for the players who were trying to make it and keep the scene alive with their commitment to trying to go pro.
