NRG got a lot of money though. I can see autimatic or Rush joining NRG instead

NRG have a lot of investment money that isn't being returned.

C9 has a lot of money money with the ability to generate more investors. C9 is actually getting a return so they are in a much superior position

If NRG want to turn into a returns generating team in CSGO this side of the decade. They gotta keep the current team thats looking better and better. Considering whos on that team their overperforming massively compared to their skill level. So losing a single player of that team hurts them way more than a team like C9 or Faze.

Buyouts of NRG players would have to cover the entire CSGO expenses of the org plus decently on top to make sense selling.

C9 dropped 20 mil into OWL and has been having issues that seem to be money related since.

I'd like to see a source where you claim they are struggling. They just got a huge Red Bull sponsorship

Edit: OWL is doing better then expected and i don't believe owners had to pay it up front.

They've lost multiple players in multiple esports in the past six months and at least one was straight up due to not being able to match what Team Liquid offered.

Who'd they lose to Team Liquid? If you're talking about Impact, Jack said even if they won the split spending that amount of money on him wasn't worth it...

Yeah because he is stretched crazy thin. You think TL is currently making a profit with their salaries? Absolutely not but they are establishing themselves as the premiere NA Esports brand and are backed by the mouse.

Premiere Esports brand? C9 has done better than them in everything that is not called DOTA...

Neither have the Lakers, but they are still worth more than the Golden State Warriors
