Yeah but think about it from the org perspective. You invest a shit tone of money in trying to ascend which is hard af, you fail and then all the players you have developed and spent your money on leave on a free. Viewership is low af and can barely sell this to your sponsors. Can you really blame them for trying to make up for it other ways?
Don't get me wrong, it is definitely not fair for the players who have to see worse players take their spots. My point is, in this situation we must blame the game not the players (as in both orgs and players)
