I think it is a case of more direct (ie government-sanctioned event) vs indirect (ie the taxes the venue / organisers / hotel pay etc.). Hard to really define where the line is drawn, I guess?

When the government itself is involved, it is invariably political -- you can't disconnect the two at that point.

no think free1ng is just a great aimer lol

In customs you can play the full 24 rounds -- teams do it to get more practice, or just keep adding rounds. Again, to get more practice (otherwise if it was to 13 and the team goes 13-1 neither team has been able to practice their other side)

Esports companies are by and large startups - which often don't turn profits for a while. Esports has v high operating costs; the large majority of orgs are not profitable at all

They'll probs have a G2 situation again?diff org or smth

Maybe at the beginning of the season teams starts even, then with wins or losses they gain "elo", and beating a team with a stronger record (ie if I'm 1-4 in the season and I've now just beaten a team who is 5-0 in the season, I would get more "elo" than if I had just beaten another team who was 3-2 in the season.

It is quite a linear way of approaching it but it is a rough way of making it work.

Bc its a tie in the head to head? That's why the tiebreaker goes one order deeper - Brian just explained that

How do you plan on doing the balancing between the teams (ie your Loud and Furia example)?
