For those that don't know each team in vct 2024 will play just a total of 10 games throughout regular season, beacuse of mostly two things. First being team fatigue, some coaches (mostly chet) like to cry how the season is too long and that they don't have enough time but that is just bs for example NBA regular season last for 5 months in which each team plays 82!!!!! matches and that's 82 matches of basketball real physical sport not esports that require much less time and keep in mind that NBA teams have to change tactics almost every game so they keep the win streak. But no valorant is somehow too hard and exhausting to even play half of that. Second reason is this: https://twitter.com/lhfaria/status/1747883558864372117 they think we just want to see top 5 five teams compiting, which if you look at the format is exactly what we are getting I mean masters madrid has only 8 teams and teams that lose 3 matches in regular season are done for at least 2 months or even for 6+ months after second split because this year there is no lcq which were in my opinion second most hyped tournaments after champs. They think we want to see short tournaments of top teams 3 times a year and that's all, we as a val community need to stand up say exactly what we want, which for me is: much longer regular seasons with each team playing at least 10+ matches a split with there being at least 5 matches per week, shorter offseason we literaly had 4 months of nothing, at least one lcq per year, and bigger international tournaments i mean 8 teams is just shameful but even that is acceptable as long as the regular season improves.
Why did we even start franchising if there are going to be so little matches no wonder orgs are going bankrupt when there is no source of income for a majority of year (viewership and growing clout).
Edit: I chose NBA because it is great a great example of succesful franchising
