Mb I looked at riddle played in algs last split and equated them having clout
In terms of orgs with teams. Theres a few kicking around in EMEA
-Ascend is still playing in east
-A couple turkish orgs like FF and SMB
-Dach has orgs like mouz and SK
-Apex are there, no one cares because they got no clout but they're there
-MENA has TM and Falcons who come with huge amounts of Saudi clout (and because of esports world cup they're in pretty much every game now)

I think a lot of it is EWC. The 20 million dollar payout for the winning club overall. Like otherwise who on earth is paying for a pubg team these days

Yeah kinda, a lot of it stems from ownership. Face It and ESL are Saudi owned which means they own the back bone of CS and Overwatch (overwatch is unique for being the esport they're actually pretty good at if they luck the right meta). And also have there hand in other games like dota and starcraft
Mortadelo [#6]Apeks is big infrastructure wise but they have negative fanbase
Are there any big fanbase teams left in T2 emeA?
I dont think so
Congo1 [#32]Are there any big fanbase teams left in T2 emeA?

They are both created by 2 big streamer; Mandatory by ZeratoR and Joblife by JL_Tomy. They both have a good viewer ship. so tha. Why they can perfom well when they stream their team.

Damwon gaming -> damwon kia -> d+ kia they just rebranded over the years cause of sponsors
