Format is goated

valo tournaments have always been long af and exhausting imo, i think single bracket is a solution for that and it will keep tournament more intense and fresh. also i dont think there is any problem for org's to take the risk to play only one match and go home since rito is paying them 1.5m fucking dollars/year.

i only told it bc some people were complaining about financial stuff, like it would be difficult for smaller orgs. in short, i dont think going to brazil, playing one match and leaving is gonna harm any org

nothing's intense about a whole team losing a tournament based off of 1 series loss, especially because of the sheer amount of lower bracket runs that have given us lan winners

every person and their mother is going to claim each victory as a fluke, and now there's gonna be no way to prove it until tokyo

Nothing intense about being knocked out after 1 Bo3 makes 0 sense. It's extremely intense, that's why people are mad

intensity is created by hype, and this format has killed all hype so it isn’t intense

I honestly like the fact that all games have high stakes. Besides, the win does not matter that much. Their region just gets the masters spot that’s it.

It's "long af and exhausting" because we only get 3 international tournaments a year?🗿 We deserve it

the main issue for me is the seeding (well lack of) "we dont know" which teams are the best but we kinda know which teams are stronger on paper.
but you cant seed teams based of peoples opinion on how strong they are, therefore the seeding is random and ends up with crazy match ups round 1 and also shit matchups

they battle for that one additional slot too, this shit is overbearing meaning more intense competition

Idk man, the thing is doing all what's needed to just be present on the tournament, in which teams can be eliminated after 1 hour match doesn't sounds promising. This is subjective tho.

Also, long and exhausting? are we talking about the same Valorant esports environment? This ain't csgo where you actually have a lot of tournaments
