People are lying to themselves about Lock In

This format that assures that Riot only runs 1 stream with 1 game at a time is the best way to showcase these new rosters to the masses. Any other format that introduces more games/BO1s is just gonna shift orgs like RRQ, Futbolist, Detonation, etc to a side stream and no one will watch. A Single elim, single stream event will actually let teams like that get the spotlight even if it's only for 1 Bo3

Yes they will, most people who watch valorant consistently will still be in fuckin Tarik's or the main stream when RRQ comes on, no chance anyone ever watches any side stream with them on it tho

they're watching the match, not the teams because of the rushes

?
you literally watch games based on rosters / story lines.
and its highly unlikely to be many story lines for lock in

When there is 1 game of valorant on that's not why most people choose to watch, they choose to watch the match that's available to them

You would rather RRQ get 0-2 then forget about them until partnership starts?

If it guarantees them a Main Stage/Main Stream Bo3? Absolutely. Better than making them do 3 BO1s that no one watches and lose

I rather have RRQ doing their best and showcase their roster and competitiveness, even if they got slotted out, it entices some viewers to search/get more exposure about them

common TMosura L. havent seen a single W take from you. surely you dont expect teams to showcase their competitveness in a bo1 where the map pool is pushed to a point where neither of the teams are good at the map being played. bo3 gives you the most competetive shot at winning, while also allowing that you get to have atleast a single strong map for your team

how is it a showcase when the best teams dont even play each other?

Because it's showing every single team on the main stage and main stream, how can you call that anything except a showcase lol

For sure the best way to showcase the teams is making half of them play 1 bo3 and sending them home

Give me a better solution to assure every team plays a main stage main stream game?

bo1s are the last thing that are competetive, micky mouse tournys with bo3 are better than a bo1

facts I hate bo1 in Val and CS, it is not competitive and I feel like it is a bad way to judge how good a team is.

yes and most importantly(i want you to edit/add this info on your thread) all of these teams will get to play in front of a live audience. i wont be interested in a rrq vs fut game when i'll have the choice to watch prx vs c9. but this allows me to atleast care a little more about rrq

Yeah I made this argument in my comments that those teams getting to play main stage is important

nah the problem is there's too many teams. If you split it up or the event drags too long its boring and ppl won't want to follow. A lot of casual twitch viewers will tune in for the main channel. There's so many games that will be miss and no one will bother to watch the vod to see. All and all its just less hype and not as good for viewership.
