The money they get from exclusivity has to outweigh all the exposure they lose and since the esports side is purely about exposure that seems like a terrible idea. Riot is silly but they not ESL levels of dumb. But that's basically the opposite of what the franchise model promised. They need massive broadcast deals for any team to ever be able to justify the investment. | ||

In fact, both of those are good ideas that could actually squeeze out a few sheckles. | ||

But it doesn't seem feasible solely based on ad revenue, hence why sponsorship is required. If a caster costs 50k, which is probably way too low, you'd need to rake in big numbers on each stream to break even, and the West simply doesn't have that viewer base. | ||

On the other hand, the article also mentions 45 participating countries. Assuming liquipedia didn't forget another country, the total number of countries including NK is 45. | ||

In fact a lot of these comps seem really strange, even for China standards. I'm curious what patch they're on that gives such champion diversity | ||
