It's not always about the destination, often it's more about the journey how you got there. Sure the loot is the reward for the effort but most of the times you will remember the crazy sweaty faces you had or amazing kills clutches or else. Before freelance I could play the whole weekend and get any further than 3 wins due to stacked teams that enjoy to stomp others.. I am pretty sure the matchmaking before freelance has always given stack teams weaker teams. Now with freelance these stacked teams are being matched more often against other stacked teams....guess what? They are not happy about it cause suddenly they can't get these high kids anymore and stomp every team. Sounds more balanced to me. Streamers and money carriers are not happy ofcourse so they will come here and spit on every post that is positive about freelance trials. Good luck with it
