We need to play the massive tournaments and never be within the decrease tiers on a regular basis… I really feel like there are clearly organizations who may have curiosity [in buying GamerLegion’s players].

It’s a pure step for up-and-coming gamers to go away groups like GamerLegion to hitch a more-consolidated group like G2, FaZe Clan, or Staff Liquid. These organizations can provide extra construction, along with a lot increased salaries.
Miculcy, nevertheless, appears optimistic about retaining the crew collectively. He stated his gamers usually are not “cash pushed” and GamerLegion can provide them a “lot of issues” different organizations have forgotten about, though he didn’t elaborate.
There are not any concrete negotiations in place proper now. The neighborhood believes, for instance, that siuhy is without doubt one of the gamers in competition to possibly replace HooXi on G2.
