Why Liquid?
Can someone please explain to me what Liquid is doing on the list of Franchised teams!? No success! Nearly relegated! Trash ownership! What am I missing?
Get rid of DIG, but keep Liquid! I call BS!

Must be a money move. It's sad that an older team like Dignitas who has had ups and downs was denied while Liquid just seems to suffer two forms of downs but by all accounts is in.
Liquid won DOTA worlds, they be rich
I really do want to know what determines who is allowed or not
I'm surprised Liquid is in when they had so much problems with payments, bad image..etc.
I'm under the assumption it's because of two things:
-
TL's financial backing is far superior to that of dig's, such that if the corperation that owns them wanted to they could buy dig 6 times over
-
More importantly, TL's success in OTHER esports (not league, as for some strange reason it's as if steve's mind "derps" out whenever he does anything involving rito) theoretically makes them better than a newer dig ownership.
While I personally don't like the move either (as I entirely expect TL to exploit the whole "not being booted unless they finish in the bottom-3 for 4 of 5 splits" rule), it sorta makes sense if you focus entirely on the financial and non-league esports side of it.
