When there’s only champs for the rest of the year meanwhile cs has 7 tier 1 events including a 2nd major for the year.
Valorant will never be on that level thanks to riot games and their need for control
Feb + mar = Qualify
April = 1st event
May + Jun = Qualify
Jul = 2nd Event
Aug + Sep = Qualify
October = 3rd Event
November + Early December = Lcq + Champions
Points from 1st qualify shouldnt count towards second or third event, they would be independent. LCQ should have ascencion teams playing against franchise teams that didnt make it, Champions should have 24 slots with 2 swiss. Get rid of loser brackets.
Also, CS has more games etc because they take betting companies money, they survive on that
There’s only 1 solution to get a better esport: third party tournament and an abolishment of franchising.
It really is that simple. People keep saying valorant will get to the same level as cs cause cs has been around for 20 years, but the reason cs is where it is is cause of 3rd party ecosystem, which coincidentally also majorly includes mapmaking, as well as a lack of franchising
