CS tournaments vs VAL tournaments

#1

I've been watching CS since like 5-6 years and there are shit tons of tournaments hosted by ESL, IEM, Blast, PGL etc etc
Why aren't there such tournaments in VAL?

Wouldn't that make valorant more competitive and profit orgs more?

Even rn there is a Gamers8 single bracket tournament in CS that will last 4 days and has a prizepool of 1M USD same as masters
Why no such tournaments for val?

Risky bc it’s a relatively new esports that goes through a lot of changes and maybe bc betting sponsors aren’t allowed.

Still its been almost 3 years and Valorant viewing is getting closer to CS viewing as well
If there were organizers such as IEM and ESL in val the quality and quantity of tournaments will be better for the scene ig

rather than comparing it to esl and iem you should compare it with league format

league format is transh for fps tho, they need more high tier tournys to keep the system sustainable

Brother give it time lmao
CS Esports weren't top tier at the start were they? They took time to develop and become what they are today

blast hosted spike nations in emea, but thats more of charity tournament. idk if there might be conflicts with working with esl/gamers8 considering the ownership, or maybe its just riot having too much control considering lol also dont have much.
