XSV gone overboard?

hey y'all know about Glenn Takemoto and Dave Bains going to xsv from avalanche? we'll i was thinking about it and is it possible that the only reason they got picked up is because xsv got tired of getting lit the @#% up by "eagle" Takemoto. I wonder how much more talent xsv could possibly collect before they radiate so much majesty that they create a black hole.😕
so what do you think? is xsv ruining the integrity of the game by taking all these players; does ther need to be a better regulations on teams and trades (like caps or something)?
Or... is it perfectly fine for one team to have a talent stacked roster?
Post away.

it should be allowed. in every sport, one team has more talent than all of the other teams for a while. in paintball it used to be dynasty, but since some of there players are gone, XSV is taking the opportunity to become the best. they will probobly have a stacked team for a few years, win a few championships, then players will slowly trade off.

XSV is just doing what they need to do to get to the top. Dont see why other teams would be mad about it. They can do it as well.

I dont see how offering players a salary and more, ruins the integrity of the game. They are now more like a corporation, and can afford to bring top players to their team. Which, in turn, causes them to make more money by winning....and having kids see them win using/wearing their gear will even hike up their income even more.

Fez, i totally agree that it is good for the sport (via marketing) and obviously good for the players playing for xsv. All I am saying is, i was just getting excited to see other teams catching up to dynasty in the last year or so, because it meant the podium might be a little more "diverse" so to speak, but then here comes xsv and wham bam thank you maam we have another paintball juggernaut. And no disrespect to xsv or the players going to xsv, i personnally am a xsv and Glenn Takemoto fan, but then again I don't want to see them walk over the competition every time.
