Team support carrying over from other games?

I was alway currious about how many of you gotten interested/became a supporter of a certain team in certain pro gaming title because of that org's other teams in different category.

Like for example KCorp fans or KOI fans will support their org's team in any category since these orgs are also represantative of their famous owners and the nationality, but when it comes to fnatic or g2 for example, have any of you became a fnatic supporter in League because you were a fan of them from CS? Or fnatic Val supporter because of Fnatic League? Got interested in g2 teams because you were a fan of them in League? There could be other examples like TSM, C9 etc but I think you'd get the gist of it.

I for one still root for t1 Val since I'm a long time SKT fan despite all their dogshit decisions since they bacame t1, especially in Valorant and am interested to know if there other lads like me.

not anymore obviously, but OpTic had a huge fanbase that carried over from all games, COD, RL, VALORANT, HALO etc..

yeah, I don't really follow CoD but have hear optic was a big name there too. Must have helped that they were alreay big in other title but in case of CoD and HALO I'm not sure of the conversion rate since both games are console heavy whereas valo is pc only.

I watched a few of Gambit CS matches because of their Valo team. When they disbanded I watched some of their games as C9 as well

So not really a devoted support but at least it helps to get one interested.

i follow the player rather than the org, i love watching tenz’s and forsaken’s gameplay so i like sen and prx, if either of them left i probably wouldn’t enjoy the org anymore

That's kind of the same tho. People follow the owner rather than the esport

Yeah, that seems like the problem with esports orgs in general. Be it the lack of legacy, regional attachment to the local fans, or something else, most of the brand value comes from the players rather than the team.

Also the reason I've had this question since if anyone is interested or supports a team just because its from certain org, I'd say that org is succeeding in terms of building a brand.
