with champs ending in late august, its pretty much confirmed that we'll get a gc championship and a valorant world cup for sure. the head of esports leo said that 4 months of off season is too much (in context to 2022), and now again its going to be 4 months long(unavoidably coz of allowing players and orgs to set up in new cities and countries) because of only one split and masters, so they for sure are planning to compensate for that with a world cup (as he also hinted this in some interview few weeks ago).
