Can they really be called professional teams? Are they not teams pretending to be professional?

NBA: 5-6 months max.
October: Start of regular season (82 games)
April: Regular season ends
June: Playoff ends

MLB: 5-6 months max.
March: Start of regular season (160 games)
September: Regular season ends
November: Playoff ends

NHL: 5-6 months max.
October: Start of regular season (82 games)
April: Regular season ends

Dude, you're comparing a market where every org is losing money compared to NBA where has profit to do it.
There are club subscriptions, clothing, and various things that clubs sell during this period, this doesn't happen in esports at all.
Apart from several sponsorships they have, tier 2 doesn't have money for that. Tier 1 is the only one that can do it.

Apart from the fact that people in these sports are club members, in e-sports people love a player and not a club, people do not support a specific club (a specific team), only at Tier 1 it happen. Like SEN, 100T, LOUD, etc.

Hah, yes. Then increasing the prize money in the tier 2 scene makes little sense, what do you think?

The tier2 scene is also, after all, only about some teams competing for the championship and nothing else, and the reason NiSMOs asked for an increase in prize money is so they can maximize their prize money if the M80 roster remains next year.

Not sure if M80 players are going to be picked up tbh, maybe only 1 at the most.

So yeah, makes sense.

I do not think prize money is the main issue, but I think they should have several small, medium and large tournaments with different prize pools and not just the main one.

After all, too few teams have established their value.
