yo this is actually the biggest meme and i love it
the real kicker is right here
the articleTF2 is not the first game to run into this. Almost every single professional sports league has rules in place to try and prevent this from happening. Having one team siphon all of the best talent does not make for a healthy competitive ecosystem, and RGL is inclined to agree with the ideas of the rules that professional leagues have done to try and prevent this.
uhh what? What kind of league puts a limit on team prize earnings (salary is monthly pay, wierd use of the term by him but w/e) or restrictions on talent moves? rn in pretty much every other esport the reason talent siphering doesnt happen like it does in tf2 is for 3 pretty important distinctions
1. other esports have player contracts with large buyouts
2. other esports don't have as small a top talent pool as tf2
3. the team in question has the only player both willing and fiscally able to put basically their entire life into competing in tf2
If the goal is to host a competition and incentivize and reward top level play with prizes (like literally every other fucking esports league?) then why would you punish someone for dominating? I hate seeing froyo win as much as the next person (someone kidnap vand/voll/corsa for bird noises 2 please) but like this isnt the way to do it. Also, calling froyo unbeatable is kind of a joke, especially considering the diversity of the roster game in recent events
TLDR; sigafoo is big dumb and doesnt understand how to run a league (go figure)
edit: i cant count to 3
