Why does a video game require a gap of 7 days between matches? Even high performance sports have a gap of like 3-4 days max so compared to that Valorant should get a maximum of like 2 days.

MrBlooBloom [#2]The quality of the gameplay would significantly decrease if teams only had 2 days between each match. The season would also be way too short
A gap of say 4 days with each team facing each other twice would make judging teams much easier cuz 5 games is just not enough to determine if a team is good ykwim
Wall_Bug [#3]Valorant is all about cooking in prep time and getting reps on those newly cooked recipes!
Seeing your team “cook” for 7 days and losing 0-2 doesn’t make for a good viewing experience considering you have to wait 7 more days for the next game.
Cheasle2 [#12]it's a hot take (apparently) but I agree. Teams should be playing 2 games a week. the gap is so zzzzz
There'd be way too many games to watch as a viewer.

over half the games aren't worth watching.

A team that is not top 4 in their group doesn't deserve to be judged further anyway so I really don't think it matters
Astaaaaa [#16]1 week per game is so stupid then also theres month break beetween event :sob: some teams never get crowds in emea so its just stupid
Holy fuck a month break is insane. Fans are too lenient on Riot for this shit
Raftlot [#17]I kinda agree but I think the real problem is the gap between seasons/tournys, especially at the end of the year
they can fix that by playing double the amount of games. why dont they just do a round robin for each regional league each split and have twice as many games played. a team can be in good form during one split which makes it harder for other teams in their group to qualify for playoffs and vice versa. they should make each regional split a round robin and let more teams qualify to internationals it'd be way better

True, but it is what it is

Having a couple of bad days is possible
Because soccer games have tens of thousands of paying crowds and billions of dollars in TV broadcasting rights deals. In Val, Riot Arena has 200 people in the stands (not sold out) and free YouTube viewers who don't spend any money. With the exception of internationals, playing fewer matches is beneficial.

Oh come on... you think the quality of the games would significantly decrease? Have not been watching the games? How many near wipes have we had? This is not a good argument as you are assuming things would get worse when they are already bad.

that's your personal opinion. people are working to make all this happen, doubling their work load is just cruel because they can't be biased like you.
Unironically I think it's cause of scheduling. For these regular season games riot uses their own arenas which they also use for other games (LoL) and other activities, so they need to spread the games out more. Whenever they rent an arena for masters the games are always more compact and we don't have these breaks because the more days they reserve the more money they have to spend. I don't think they really care about prep time for teams

You don't deserve to make it past groups if all of your bad days are during your matches
