No doubt they lose money in AWC too. No way twitch paying them even a fraction of their prize pool with their 10k views for like 6 days out of the year.
Just take that AWC money and invest it on competent PVP devs. Let the community handle PVP tournies like how they do with raid tournies which brings in 100X the views.
Itâs absurd that the best players in the world, who play a completely different setting in the AWC (tourney based with picks/bans) arenât expected to adapt to balance changes during the tourney, they absolutely could.
