LAWL NA DOTA ELITE R TRASH

there probably exist some professions that deserve to be more consistently paid a living wage or much more comfortable wage, but are not, and should not be ridiculed

you cannot convince me that being mediocre at top tier tournament dota is one of those professions or that it is above ridicule

that’s fine, but Plasma calling them “fucking ■■■■■■■■ for not accepting his McDonalds giftcards + shipment of free gum offer makes Plasma look like a fucking moron (which he is).

They’d be actively hurting themselves and every other team like them to accept a joke offer like that.

again you dont get it. NOBODY is offering NOTHING

If some one offers them $500 per month each they should run with it.

ur just being a lib trying to justify your ideology.

$500 a month isn’t nearly enough money to justify having to interact with or associate with you in any way

I wouldnt pay them $500 per player when I can beat them for $500 total

You’re basically Brad Pitt in moneyball except the leagues aren’t watched by anyone and you pay your players in gum

“We just lost ixmike88, Sammyboy, and Gunnar. They’re gone. 4zoomers is taking our kidneys, team team is taking our liver. It’s done.

“Now, how do we replace them?”

“Well there’s this ritsu kid, great gaming body, long slender fingers-

yeah and the sound the keyboard makes when his fingers hit the keys, you can hear it all the way of the lan cafe-

it’s a beautiful, sharp sound, hands like a concert pianist”

“BBBBZZZZT. WRONG. We can’t afford him, and even if we could, we still have to replace ixmike88 and Gunnar”

“What are we trying to replace gentlemen?”

“Well, we need a coach, a safelaner, and a midlane-“

“WRONG.”

“We are trying to replace WINS. You’re looking in all the wrong places. We are looking at the big picture, at analytics. Take this Venezualan kid, Rico. Nobody takes him seriously because he has only one eye. But if you look at his numbers, at his mmr, this guy is one the most undertated assets in ALL OF DOTA. And we can have him for TEN CENTS A MONTH.”

“If we try to play like Evil Geniuses in here, we will lose to Evil Geniuses out there. We are blackjack players counting cards at the casino.

Take this Cuban national kid, jorge. Not only will he cost us nothing, we can actually make HIM pay US by blackmailing him and threatening to report him to immigration.”

“This is the new Plasma. If you don’t like it, you can leave, but this is how we’re going to win the international.”

What the fuck is this?

Oh a moneyball script parody

I just watched money ball like a week or two ago

Idk wtf insom is saying anyone with a brain knows nobody is going to pay these low t2 NA dota players any amount of real money because they lack any competitiveness to EU and aren’t even guaranteed to win their region

Maybe if NA was stacked with talent like EU or CIS it would make sense but these people aren’t winning any international tournaments

CIS probably cheaper than NA tho and players are better

Right, I’m just saying them taking no money is actually better for them in the long run than taking a pointlessly small amount.

On the off chance they win a tournament or show themselves to have real value, having their most recent org paying them like $100/month will weaken their bargaining position.

The $100 isn’t worth it on the offchance they become valuable in the future

Paying pennies on the dollar for SA
players is the right thing for plasma to do, but sammyboy and gunnar refusing to play for him is also the right thing for them as well

I never had the money TO afford them why do you keep bringing that up?

so why are you mocking them then?

CIS may be ghetto but their scene is developed. They don't work for slave wages. I've talked to ukrainians.

SA is ghetto and the scene is undeveloped so they'll take pennies
