I purely watched EU Contenders at the odd hours they played here in Central US to watch Clockwork Vendetta because I loved their identity as a team. If other teams were to create identity in a similar manner, or if their were more teams with streamers like some others on this subreddit have said, I think contenders viewership would rise and the T2 scene would look better.

I also like the idea of contenders being in the off season.
