The thing with eSports Teams, is no one launches one without a massive player base to support it. Sure, the future Steem Monsters plans sound awesome, but...
First we need to build the player base to support it.
Believe it or not, that player base comes from the people at the bottom and not the top.
One does not create an arena for Top Level Players and expect the masses to follow.
Instead concentrate on building the masses and they will be the players/watchers who will support the Top Teams when they arrive.
