I would say that the S7 DSFL draft for the Tijuana Luchadores was the turning point for a previously moribund franchise. The team didn't really have much recognition or success prior to the selection of the "Ads" with their first three picks in the draft. They would select a solid QB, a stud linebacker, and a hard hitting safety who still plays in Tijuana to this very day. Overall, the Luchadores lacked offensive talent and they struggled to a 6-8 record, yet made their way to the Ultimus against a send down heavy Portland Pythons team. A mere seven points kept Tijuana from an upset victory against a heavily favored powerhouse. The following season, Tijuana would lose their quarterback, but acquired even higher quality talent than they previously enjoyed before. Xavier Flash, Ricky Adams, and Zapp Brannigan would highlight an offense which arguably kickstarted their offensive resurgence that we have witnessed in S9. These talented individuals led Tijuana to their first ever Ultimus championship, however Zapp Branningan did not return for the following season. These events largely occurred under savy leadership from Tijuana's general managers. It may be possible that these events don't occur if the Ads had never gone to Tijuana in the first place.
