If we took a 30,000-foot view from what would make the Major better, would it be better to have Liquid there or Marsborne there?

Not very deep, not with how they're performing at the moment.

It's the name value that's being provided to the event.

Exactly.

Losing the trade-off of having a team get experience of young and up-and-coming players who could potentially grow into something, right?

We're cutting them off of the news.

Look, I think that in itself could be beyond the point anyway, right?

That's all right.

I was thinking of this, Janko.

If they do a full turn now and in the future they actually start picking up more North American players and they start building the team out in the future.

Because if we see them next season flop back into a European team for whatever reason, then we're like, hold up.

Like, hold up.

They put themselves in a spot right now where it feels like they were for the longest time framed as the best team from North America, right?

And they were kind of the North American hope, even though people in the comments, they bring this stuff up and like, yeah, but they're based in the Netherlands or whatever.

And that's all fine.

But I think from a Counter-Strike perspective, this was seen as the flag bearers for North American CS.

Then they made these choices, which is fine.

I don't even, I was the one saying, who cares if they're American or not?

I'm just kind of arguing the sentiment of what I've seen at the moment.

So then they went European.
