moonemi [#3]maybe.. maybe expand the vct calendar so teams can have more prep time like kaplan wants AND more matches. thus it’s not so jammed packed then 6 months of nothing.
just a wild thought.
@Rito
kaplans wrong, easily
they should play more, scrim more, work harder to be better
in reality, theres more than enough time for 3 splits and champs there is absolutely no reason riot cant fit this into a year
Janurary - split 1 - feb masters 1 - april split 2 - may masters 2 - july split 3 - august masters 3 - october LCQ - november Champs december off
SUCH a better schedule lmfao this just shows theres enough time for 3 splits and champs with one month break inbetween you can rearrange however you want

Riot doesn’t want to compete with its self by having an esport at the same time as LoL
LouBag [#6]Riot doesn’t want to compete with its self by having an esport at the same time as LoL
would be a nice excuse but these games can be played whenever. NA and EMEA games will most likely never compete with LoL. Looking at primarily chinese and korean/japanese and even then if you're riot and cant schedule games so they arent at the same time or inconvienent you shouldnt be in said industry

And how would this work with meta changes? Map rotations, newer agents, nerfs and buffs and so many things that change meta? The amount of time to get chemistry could be argued to be good enough, but the changes are the issues, because there will be no real downtime for changes implemented to actually be figured out and a decent chunk of the season would consist of a bunch of trial and error in games instead of scrims. Teams like prx that are unorthodox with unusual agents would not be prominent as much because they wouldn't have as much time to flourish it out. This format works if changes don't happen, like in sports such as football, but in a game where a meta changes every year almost, you need an adequate downtime to not have the season's first half be reduced to trialing period. Also, like Kap and Sideshow and Eric said, the overall quality of games would decrease as well. I don't think the current schedule is good, right now the downtime is too long and they should shorten it, but your schedule isn't good either imo

thats the coaches job? You get paid to innovate so maybe they should do more of that. These guys make enough money to work 40 hours a week btw. If they work more than 40 hours its in the comfort of a nice chilled office or in their room watching vods. Every franchise team with 2 coaches and analysts can edjust to a meta within a whole month and btw assuming 11 game splits

coaches innovations are all useless if the players are unable to properly replicate them, the coaches can only direct not control. Also, these pros do work a good time, Bonecold on his retiring video talked about how he has practiced 10 hours a day for the past 3 years with minimal breaks. I personally don't think 1 month is enough of a time to adjust to a new meta without being grouped up with every single other team also doing the meta team, as I said this may not effect EU teams but any teams that like to experiment will suffer
I feel like this might be a really stupid suggestion but I'm not seeing the issue.
League seasons go from January to November (LCS, LEC, LCK, and LPL start in late January, Worlds is in the end of November). That's 11 months of the year, obv with some gaps in between. Could valorant not do the same but do like December to October? Would be a little bit of a weird starting point, but would avoid any conflict with worlds.
LEC and EMEA use the same stadium as well, I think it's the same for Americas, not sure about Pacific. So it would be impossible for the games to happen at the same time, so I don't think that would be an issue.
