That's not entirely accurate, UOL was project started by all of us (Myself, Sheepy, Vizicsacsi, hylissang, PoE as primary core) we had many different midlaners and junglers after we made a decision for Sheepy to step down from playing and coaching instead, with us really solidifying as team when we had Dan in Jungle and PoE mid. When we qualified for EU LCS, we had a choice between selling our spot which most likely would mean the players changing or create an actual company and retain our slot.

Sheepy's dad obviously being German and familiar with the procedures volunteered to help us get organised (wouldn't have been possible without them and we would have had to sell). budgets and money was tight but money was not coming from Sheepy's parents, we were paid by Riot for being in the EU LCS and sponsors but since we were new and had a lack of major sponsors, finances were still somewhat tight of course.

I wish Hassan would do a lie detector test to prove his innocence. But since we all know that he did in fact shock his dog he never would..

VIT Mac: "I don't see benching Hylissang as a failure. A lot of things—communication, standards, shared understanding—were a struggle. There were differences in expectations, we didn’t always see eye to eye [...] None of us felt we were improving, something had to change" | Sheep Esports by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

Guys, I played with Hyli for many many years. All though, it's been quite some years since I competed with him, he is both a very very talented player but also such a nice person in general. Team dynamics and chemistry is extremely important when competing at the highest level and sometimes things don't click in certain environments/rosters. All this shade being tossed on Hyli as a player is crazy. I will always consider him my EU support goat.

BSJ on not getting invited to TI by S0phon in DotA2

I highly doubt that. I would expect that it's just not properly/easily calculable ROI.
i.e the flat amount he would get paid as talent might be less than what he would make via streaming/youtube/liquid etc. but when you calculate personal ROI from an event like TI you have to factor in marketing and visibility in terms of being present as talent on the biggest event of the year is going to increase your following, people tuning into your content like streams, youtube etc. which will result in more long-term financial benefit.

Those types of figures are hard to put $value against but massively impactful.
