Lol how much money do they really have I am watching phy video and it is so fascinating the amount of teams they have in every esports
Not to hate on America but as a guy who holds an american passport as well and lived in NYC for 8 years. I genuinely think y tf would someone want to live there if their purpose isn't business or job , the food sucks btw not talking abt taste standpoint but from an indgridients standpoint like the chemicals and food dyes they allow , in terms of touring and natural beauty imo europe and africa even south america is better like genuinely what do you have yellow stone national mark and the entire state of montana and wyoming . Ur American and have been america for a longer time period thats y I'm asking .
no matter what the case you still can't make comments like that, I lived in the middle east and travelled to saudi a lot and over the years a lot has changed mostly for the better and considering if you were to ask people they would feel safer living in saudi as compared to living in the US so I would just keep these things in mind.
The whole sportwashing thing is overhated asf.
Nobody actually likes saudi arabia any more than they did before so it really doesn't even work.
They aren't actively promoting human rights violations either.
The entire chinese league exists, riot games is owned by a state controlled chinese megacorp, and nobody gives a fuck.
Why do we all start crying when a player makes a financially correct decision with basically zero actual improvement to the saudi image?
i dont wanna bring politics here but sportswashing is not a lie too
the saudi prince said this himself in an interview

In my opinion , the Saudi are doing the right thing like they have identified a market which they can use to boost their economy and get a stronghold to improve misconceptions abt their country like Esports is a market where they can get the influence of Gen Z and Gen Alpha's they are using Saudi pro league to get a more global audience . I dont hate it while its true that uk they are doing a horrible job in counter strike in terms of team building but imo they are improving like if the rumors are true and kyousuke joins I feel like they will make deep runs in tournaments and if they stick with the team and let zonic , niko and the boys cook in the brief winter break like no way that team doesnt challenge for titles .
