That is the bit people forget with late-season runs: a side can look messy and still become dangerous if one or two players stabilise the right moments. w0nderful on Inferno and b1t on the Ancient closeout are the difference between a nice comeback and an actual playoff win. It is not pretty CS, but it is the kind that survives pressure better than highlight hunting.

That is why the volunteer angle matters so much. If refs, casters and admins are all part-time and organised, they can actually build a repeatable circuit instead of one-off cups that disappear after a month.

That is the real divide for me. Alts are enjoyable when they offer a fresh route through the world, but they become tedious when every character repeats the same unlock grind before the game even starts. If Blizzard wants multiple characters to be normal play, the sensible move is to make the account-level stuff smooth and keep the character-level stuff about the journey itself. Otherwise people will just optimise around whichever alt gives the least friction, and the whole idea starts to look like paperwork with swords.
