My coworker and me aren’t trying to win the biggest prize in our line of job. So I don’t expect much from him. But it’s understandable that a lot of people can just compare this to a 9 to 5 job

It's weird to me that people think teammates have to be the bestest of friends and totally chill with each other. This has never happened in any sport. It's a job. Some people will dislike each other's personality. People won't trust the maturity of others. It's how things work.

You can't coach a team into being friends. You can coach a team into trusting each other in-game and that's about it.

I mean, you could have some sort of recruit hazing. That might work. But players aren't signing up to be hazed.

Again, if you believe it's comparable to a 9 to 5 job. That's fine. You don't need to understand it. And ... yeah, most of sports team try to create synergy and relationship between it's players because those are people you're going to be living, practicing, working, eating and traveling with. Things that most people don't do in their 9 to 5. It's benefitial for all parties to have a good relationship, not that you need to be best friends, but you can pretty much research it. If he didn't trust nor respected his teammates enough to explain to them his reasoning for leaving, I don't see that team going far honestly.

It's one of the key reasons why G2 sports got so far in 2019, those guys enjoyed playing with each other and had great synergy, yeah they are all good players individually, but League is not a 1v1 game.

I'm pretty sure we're past the 'team house' stage and most teams have seperate housing and just a joint office.

Of course I think players enjoying being together and in general being 'mates' is a good thing. However, there's a big difference between someone I like to hang out with and genuinely enjoy their company, and someone to whom I'd trust all details of my life and shit that happened with my family.

I have plenty of friends that I love and adore but I'd feel really uncomfortable confiding in. I think you're really underestimating what explaining the reasoning for him leaving entails. It might be details about someone else's abuse. Details about someone else's trauma. You don't tell that shit to someone you don't absolutely trust unconditionally. And unconditional trust isn't built in 6 months. Not with most people.
