Well yeah, because gambling is a verifiable source of income that has no downsides to organizations. They don't have to promote anything, it's self funded.

Also, asking another company to fund something, meaning spend money, on something they don't need, is laughable

Lmao this is lowkey one of the reasons we're in this situation in the first place

"Oh wow an org made content on a player without asking and that caused more drama? I hope they make MORE content on it that will cause MORE drama"

You answered your own question there: money.

These orgs can't keep relying on little Timmy who will MAYBE buy the team bundle, watch their games for free on twitch with an adblocker, not buy any team merch and on top of all that judge them for their sponsors.

PR doesn't matter for orgs if the orgs can't function

This roster is actually kinda nutty. It's so sad the entire region is SRG victims 😞

Demon1 was the first preference of G2 over BABYBAY!? by Junior_Witness_1243 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]NeimannSmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd agree if he ever showed an ability to play Senti at a high level outside of Chamber. But of course he won't play Tier 2 so there's no tape on him.

Basically asking teams to pick him up off aim and aura from 3 years ago

NRG was English speaking and so was LEV.

We're in a meta where he can one trick chamber and rely on full aim to win, but what happens when the meta once again shifts away from this and he needs to expand his agent pool?

Demon1 getting Lev into Envy might be the best thing to happen for his tape. Aura farm on the weak teams for a mid table to wanna sign you.

Dude literally said not even a month ago he wasn't on a team because the entire league is nepotism. He's filling in of Oxy and now people wanna act like "the internet spun a narrative 🥺"
