No, we don't need season 9 because you are on the sideline for the rest of season 8. It's not in the spirit of PSL to promote a new season or another league while we have one at its most interesring stage. Plus, probably the main reason for the lack of funding in season 8 was not due to Zebra hosting, but because it happened too soon before 7. We need some breaks in between, to let people miss it first, then build some hype and funding.
