Last year, I started watching the esports and mostly only saw the top international teams matches. So, when the drama about minimum matches teams (gonna call them MMTs for short) I felt empathitic to these fans and players.
At the start of this kick off I was mostly only able catchup to MMTs matches and a lot of things felt really frustrating, from sometimes a lack of trading or focus. Now when I freed up to watch pacific finals and higher level teams in Americas.
I really do not understand why would people want riot to invest more into MMTs rather than the top level. It is way more fun to watch and see and commit some time for. The only reason I try to climb the ladder of valorant ranked is to see at least some level of that trading and teamwork in my games.
