The Creator League was announced by multiple influencers yesterday and for some reason this shit feels dirty to me. At its core, the Creator League is Twitch Rivals with a monetary side to it. Twitch Rivals where it was in most cases a major streamer teaming with a handful of smaller streamers that specialize in the seemly random game that was chosen to compete in. For example, Twitch Rivals would choose Rocket League as the game and Summit1g would pick two (or whatever it maybe) streamers that come from Rocket League to compete against other teams built in the same way. The curveball from my understanding is, the small streamers part of the equation is thrown out for people that pay to use the Creator League app (pass). So, for a fee you have the chance to be on a team with a major streamer and compete for cash. App users also have the opportunity to "control" how a team plays and vote on drafts of players. The capitalist in me is very impressed that no one thought of this before. I mean shit, when I was younger my narcissistic ass used to charge people to be on my Xbox friends list. For some reason however, this league has the whiff of the ye olde classic pump and dump. Hype up Season 1 of the Creator League, sell a shit ton of "passes" then realize it wasn't profitable from a viewership or ad revenue aspect and shut it down while pocketing pass sales. If I'm right, I'm a genius, if I'm wrong I just look like a negative Nancy.
