So this is where the managers skill or "eye for talent" really comes in. For e.g its not right to say you're a good manager if all you do is snatch the already established top players from clans, by throwing money at them - because anyone with a willing sponsor can do that. but theres support to your argument as a good manager if you groomed or picked up unknown players in the scene, helped them find a team, put them into the spotlight or nurtured them into top players. Not only is it good for developing the scene, its far more respectable and something to be proud of.
These kinds of players are high risk. Safer bet is to sign players that are constantly performing well Clans usually pickup these players and groom them for us :P Until there are more teams and more demand for players, its just how its going to happen.
