Now how the fuck is fnatic and G2 going to poach young, insane players to win a trophy? It’s now impossible for these orgs.

Without poaching, there is no development at the higher level.

No poaching only for international teams that made it from challengers. Poaching directly from challengers will be fine.

Copied from smart Reddit user:

Overall it sounds like a good thing. It allows smaller orgs to get the opportunity to receive viewership and sponsorship opportunities. However, I'm a little concerned about how these rules affect players, especially when it comes to the end of a rosters ascension period.

If roster X, under org X, sees success during their VCT tenure, and org Y is interested in these players, do these rules affect their ability to buy out the players/roster? The article makes it sound like the period these rules take effect in-between the phase between challengers and ascension, but it doesn't state anything about organisations poaching whole rosters. I'm just concerned about how this system works for smaller, non-partnered organisations that are trying to build a fan base.

Im concerned about the beginning of the rosters ascension period. Since the Org is getting the spot and not the team what is to stop the org from dropping 3 players and "upgrading" before the players that earned the spot in the first place get a chance to compete in the regional league. Player unions or whatever may be able to help but IDK.

NA started a player union recently (so far has 30 player members confirmed)
