123 going to the Grandfinals????? PogChamp
As far as I understand the orgs that are dropping their teams are doing so because they don't see the investment profit if they can't get into the OWL.
If they do get picked up I'm assuming it's by an org that wants in, or can get in, or that just believe in the squad. I'm leaning towards the former and I can totally see that happening.
Do we still know for sure they can't get into OWL or more like don't want to? two different things and from my perspective it's the latter, if these reports are true of the millions of dollars to buy a spot how many of these teams do you expect to see in the OWL.
For me it's one way traffic, teams are being dropped left and right without any new ones being picked up and I can only see that trend following, I'll be shocked if some orgs come into OW any time soon and pick up teams especially if those reports regarding OWL are to be believed.
I think I mentioned the wanting part as well.
"I'm assuming it's by an org that wants in, or can get in,"
We also don't know when the league is starting to with the unknown timeline. I can see that being a deterrent in wanting to pick up players but the idea of holding valuable player contracts to sell them to orgs has also been thrown around here and there.
You mentioned them as can't get in not them not wanting in and said if they pick teams up it's because they want into OWL, if teams wanted into OWL they wouldn't be dropping teams would they, I've not seen a single news post of an org picking up a team because they want into OWL but time will tell, as I said before it's one way traffic and I can't see that changing, would the dolphins and patriots pick up a team like 123? makes zero sense, why would a brand like this pick up anything other than an elite team capable of winning OWL?
