OMG I LUV SAUDI :DD

Now that I have your undivided attention. It's time for you people to understand how orgs survive earn money.

1. Have a gazillion sponsors like DFM and Sengoku. (I don't know any example outside of Japan) or have just one but huge sponsor
2. Merch sales , 100T SEN and ZETA comes to mind, but realistically most orgs will be heading to this part.
3. Have a rich owner/benefactor. It can be a popular streamer ( MURASH TH KOI etc), company ( FAV is owned by Kadokawa) etc

Realistically it's a mix of these 3. But it still doesn't paint a bright picture. They're still burning money.

Even if you have sponsors and merch, 1 million is 1 million... that's a ton to improve stability

Japan Ecosystem towards Sports is different amongs the world so no.1 is hard to apply for rest of the world

In real, clubs expand and win, and the more you chase glory, the bigger the deficit gets. If you want to play big, you have to pay more. much more. That's why that EWC shit list has the big names first.

I think esports as a sort 'billboard' for advertisers is the only viable way forward tbh
traditional sports make a lot of money from ticket sales + streaming rights (ticket sales in esports aren't nearly as huge as in trad sports (outside of the last few matches of a Major/Champions), and paid streaming rights are non existent in esports (likely for the better tbh))

Well why can't people just take example of DSG who burnt so much money by fielding so many teams across different regions just for the love of eSports from Toast

But DSG was in losses from beginning

EWC will atleast bring in money for orgs
