If ever there was a time to start using HLTV Live, yesterday would've been it for all you Mousesports fans out there.
Don't like what you're seeing from the main team? Just switch over to the academy team! At least then you can see Mousesports win something.
But that's not the only thing the WePlay! Academy League is good for.
Not only does it give fans more of their "team" to watch, but it also propels otherwise lesser known players into the limelight.
Sure, you've got your ztr's and your sycrone's - we've already seen them on the main stage - but let's be honest, had you ever heard of torzsi before the academy league? Neither did we but we love him already.
But what sets an academy team apart from any old regular tier three team?
Simple. And no, not the Ukrainian. He isn't the answer to everything. By giving it its own separate circuit, academy teams are no longer diluted amongst the rest of the lower tiers.
Sure, they can still play in regular tournaments, but they also get to test themselves in a studio- and LAN-environment, in high stakes situations.
For example, Mousesports NXT won $45,000 for taking down the first season of the Academy League - which is more than anyone but #1 and #2 at EPL Season 14 gets.
In conclusion, not only does the Academy League give us viewers more content and players to watch - it also gives a sneak peek at what players are next in line to rise above.
