SoaR situation



Referenced post #24 by sancti

whats going down with soar?

#24



tl;dr version



soar org has no money to pay players anywhere close to a competitive salary (avg lower tier pro league teams salary [col ghost rogue splyce] is ~5k roughly, some higher some lower obviously), soar was getting <500



dignitas wants to buy soar players + roster spot out and pay them a competitive salary, on par with what the lower tier pro teams get



(note ESL also had a rule last season where the premier moveup teams must retain 3 original starting players from premier in order to keep their roster spot)



ESL said we dont condone selling roster spots, so soar was going to just sell the players for their buyouts (again, the players earned their spot as we all know, and their contracts were also expiring as it was an extremely short term contract)



> 2 days later, soar finds out that even though they cant pay their players and their contracts were expiring AND dig wants to pay the players what they are worth, since the soar org technically still 'own' the spot (which is an absolute fucking joke lol), apparantly that 3 returning players rule just disappeared into thin air and now they want to pick up GX in their PL spot instead instead of giving the mce & crew the spot that they earned because... they can



this is why players should own orgs absolutely nothing (im sure 3 of the rise nation players + koosta will agree with me there too), because its all just a business and your employer WILL fuck you if its in their best interest (with a few exceptions)
