One thing I want to highlight is consistency within DPPPL itself. The most recent editions of DPPPL
IV &
III states that each team can purchase one manager for 15k and honoring what's traditionally working matters a lot to me to establish consistency within DPP specifically. By reopening this thread, its clear we are wanting to establish legacy and consistency. This makes me question if this change is warranted right now due to 2 manager selfbuys being exploitable. With 2 manager duos, you could get some powerhouse pairings overall and a change like this gives a weird controversial balancing. DPP lower tiers are primarily supported through challenge/tournament only and on an overview note these communities operate a little differently (especially in size) compared to OU. What I'm trying to say is: that two prominent lower tier players team up and both goes for a way lower price than warranted = broken / unfair because of the players that have established themselves in the tier going for a price they shouldn't have gone for vs the people that are just getting into the tier. With the abundance of tournaments I play, I'd say getting a game for a past-gen lower tier is also significantly more difficult. I fear changing this factor is potentially exploitable, making me believe 1 manager has more pros in being a great middleground to nullify concerns and actions on price-fixing.
