Each team only plays 8/10 teams?
If you add an extra week, there is literally no travel time for Tokyo and typically it is required to quarantine for like 3 days. So it makes sense
But it gives an unfair advantage to some teams. Eg doesnt have to play nrg for example
the americas final is the 28th of may.
tokyo starts June 11.
every team plays one another once
18th may.
vlr just hasnt added it.

see for yourself
sen doesnt play furia or kru
there are 40 matches between 10 teams/2 teams per match = 5
40/5=8
every team plays against all but 2 teams
scratch that, if you go on official valorantesports website there are 9 matches everyone vs everyone
