I believe the franchise slot was given to them (GE) because they represent whole South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, with Afghanistan).
I think they should try with players from these countries only, maybe 6th and coaching staff from different region.
Let the players speak their own language as a team like English or hindi, most players talk in mix of Hindi and English, whatever it is, don’t force any language onto them, coach has to adapt and help them if they lack somewhere. (See texture in English vs Korean, much much comfortable, also players can understand the coach in English while in timeouts but in game, their comfortable language is way to go !)
Playstyle makes the team, let them do what they have been doing and it will improve (just like prx).
And give them time and opportunity, GE’s CEO doesn’t even believe in the SA players so they don’t even get the chance to play, due to this newer players doesn’t even get motivation to come to this scene, I think it’s not about competitive integrity, it’s about exposure of SA region.
Doesn’t matter if they get 13-0ed, get them exposure, it may / may not improve but still it gets engagement (good/bad) but players will benefit and org will benefit, atleast the org won’t be called hypocrite, their performance with the best team yet is shit anyways lol, clearly their approach isn’t working.
In short: change the approach, make effort towards representation rather than importing the players and forcing them to follow some unknown framework which isn’t comfortable for them, and give them time, I believe fans will be patient if their people representing the team at global stage!
Cheers !
