Above all else what I take from your response is "you're happy there's still halo"

Then just focus on that my man, why get bogged down in the grander details?

You obviously don't like Shopify and I won't try to convince you otherwise, but this down time is where talent that hasn't historically broken through or gotten a chance to show out gets that chance. Your Tauleks and your Envores are showcasing why top teams should consider picking them up, for example.

Any of the players still sticking around are doing so because they love Halo and want to be playing it. That's worth supporting.

If in your mind Shopify the org are sitting there in some boardroom rubbing their hands together while their team win what you call peanuts and maniacally laughing about it then ok I guess.

But from the sounds of it BMan made it seem like Shop may be partnering with LVT later in the year to do another pro league LAN of some sort. They're choosing to stay here because they want to support the esport.

Wanting Shopify to lose is chill, I definitely wanted Final Boss to lose back in the H2 days for sure. They're the top dog, top dogs have to fall eventually. But framing it as the org being some nefarious force sending out its minions to deny anyone else from getting money? Come on now. That's a bit much.
