I've been saying this all along about playing styles its all a bunch of hokum ,i think players are seeing what they want to see and reality its all just the same as before
How much people spend that's up to them, but the way Nordeous draw CL groups at the moment with extremely high % teams and higher level teams draws people into spending far more real money trying to keep up
What i do believe is Nordeous are deliberately putting higher % bot teams with fake accounts on servers. as i just cannot believe a player can sustain paying to keep a team at 180% season after season this would cost thousands in $/£ and euros
