Overall I like the changes and upgrades. One thing and it's not a dislike are the Player salaries, I thought the players were already getting decent amount like doubled what they were already getting before the 2016 season, now add in they will be getting even more money. Like I said not disliking it just something that has "annoyed" me. Another is the possible players that were once retired possibly coming back with the scene becoming more and more stable, we POSSIBLY could see the returns of Dyrus, Voyboy, QT etc etc and that would be something to look out for int the future also.
I'm actually very curious about this as apparently the "Buy in" for franchises is a set 10M per team. Because of this, we could potentially see some of the teams with focus in other esports (TL immediately springs to mind due to the fact that their CS:GO squad is basically 2015 TL only that they didn't completely die off at the end) not actually do this. I can see this being either a giant success or a giant failure depending on how popular the game remains, as noone knows yet whether this game will even have the same playerbase in the next 2-3 years.
