with champions ending late august and the 2024 season not starting until at least mid January that leaves 4 months for an off-season. If riot mess this up then it's gonna fuel the death of t2 valorant, no org is going to be paying a third a year of wages for their players to play 2 tournaments. I think it'll be nice for each month to have a "monthly circuit" supported by riot and 1 or 2 invitations for t1 and t2 teams.
the monthly circuits could be 3 opens once a week and concluded by a small scale playoff tournament with the top 8 teams from the 3 opens, kind of like the 2021 challengers system but on a much smaller scale.
The invitations should be hosted like the ludwig x tarik invitaitonal with a mix of t1 and t2 teams - all of these monthly and invitational tournaments will give these orgs something to do while sustaining viewerships of around 10,000
