Not many players in the NSFL care about it, however if you are a new player, outperforming inactives in the DSFL can be really fun. I got to talk to my friend who was a new comer and went through the entire process to learn useful feedback.
One thing that I learned is that the LR's aren't very active due to each team only having a handful of active users. I think if anything is wrong with the league dissuading players from sticking around, it's that.
However, it does it's job to get player's familiar with the league, getting their player up to par and is healthy for the longevity of the NSFL. If we didn't have it, players would be riding pine or getting destroyed in the NSFL.
Honestly, I think it varies a lot from team to team, kinda like the NSFL. That said, there is no comparison between S1 and S2 DSFL. We are getting great turnout on the DSFL streams, a lot of the players are putting out good DSFL media (especially the Not Famous Yet podcasts), and generally have more fun than last year.
There are still issues that need to be ironed out, but if we get the kind of attention we've been getting it will be just fine.
Also, I think the DSFL is helping fix the GM problem. We are almost doubling the number of people getting hands-on experience as well as developing networks to get advice from.
