format (streaming, mostly)

didn't wanna include ewc in the title since too many baiters have been being stupid today about the topic but i wanted to ask:
1 - if there's 12 matches in a day, wouldn't EWC just have a multistream going?

i think it'll just be like
Group A - Group B openers
Group C - Group D openers
All Group Upper R1

all 1st day, with an A and B stream running

2 - why doesnt riot do multistream system like ESL does in cs? i think it can help with reducing the amount of days for running an event which would definitely be within riot's interest, seeing as though venue operation eats the biggest chunk of the budget rn (this would only be for masters/champs)

I think they do not multistream because they want to highlight every game instead of making viewers choose either game or have to keep switching tabs

I think multistreaming is only really worth it in realy big tournaments, vct tournaments are relatively small and don't really need it imo

makes sense, i just think it opens up formats like full swiss for champs with 16 teams instead of groups, which i think is a bit outdated

but i agree wu, do u have a link or something where a riot official has said anything about this? been trying to find something but came up with nothin

I don't think they've ever talked about multistreaming specifically but leo Faria has talked about formats and group stages alot in his interviews with platchat iirc
