    I feel the opposite. The idea felt antiquated and corporate. I dont want nationalism in my exports thanks.

      I understand your point but I don’t think city based teams have to be a toxic thing. Fandom for any team can be taken to the extreme, and I feel city based teams give fun ways to entice more people to care and have fun with it. Also, I mean pretty much every sport entity is corporate. Can’t think of any esport team that isn’t extremely corporate, city based or not.

        Nah most export teams are owned by people who are passionate about it. It’s a digital medium so why limit it by some small region? Overwatch league was opposite if everything good about eaports - the international connection of a global game people are passionate about. Team Liquid (in any game) has more character than all overwatch city teams combined.
