I believe PSL should be only the elite of pokemmo too, Everybody's here to win the goddamn prizes and kick some asses right ? But the problem is, if there's only elite, why people would still be on the bench forever ?
I mean it's not like football (not soccer u uguu), basketball or any sports like that. There's no high skill level like CS or Overwatch. Everything is based on your decision making. Which is great cuz it can be shared with someone behind your ass and could possibly giving you advices. It's a mmo after all and PSL is about teams, not individuals.
But people may need to put their hate aside which is hard I guess.
The moral of the story is : You can't trust the system.
