Nah man you're confusing semantics with the vibe. Obviously it e-sport teams have to be businesses but theres more passion and history in one team than whole overwatch league combined. That could never happen with city teams, well we've never seen it.

Fair enough, but also team liquid has seemingly been around wayyyy longer than any of the city based teams. Of course there isn't as much passion and history. They've barely been given a chance. I mean I'm not that invested in esports in general, and I'm totally willing to believe city based teams aren't the way. But it's something I was more familiar with and got me, someone with 0 interest in reports to care a little when I saw my city had a team. Also, not a man btw
