So it has also become harder to gain any kind of edge through your "soft skills", which I think probably was the part of GMing that a lot of people have enjoyed the most in the past.

Gonna pick this part out, sorry. We added 6 1500+ players to our division this offseason though, and Philly added GA. Movement definitely exists and soft skills and are rewarded.

Also, there's a demand that every team has FHM knowledge, but it doesn't specifically have to come from the head GM. I think at least Evok, Finn, Trella, Joe, and Izzy all aren't the main FHM knowledge source for their team and there's probably more. They draw from CoGMs and their roster.
