format needs to be like cs

it will be such a different game, cs players play around 100 games in 4 months. Players can stay warm and there will more competition. This is why we see most teams have a spur of dominance then just fall off. Espc with a game that's utility based, more games the better.

always a canadian with navi flair

Yeah valorant doesnt have enough tournaments to see dominance like Astralis, Faze Navi etc

with these current matches, many val players actually felt burnout
imagine them playing like cs

People are not understanding that Valorant is a completely different game than CS so using the same format would literally be braindead. CS has a new patch every billion years with the same freaking meta while Valorant has constant updates and new metas that need time to adapt to. If Valorant had the same number of matches as CS, the quality of each game would be so bad since teams will never have the time to cook. This works in CS simply bc Valve never updates the game as much as Riot does to Valorant. So can we stop with wanting Valorant to be like CS!

There is no need to change the structured in order to have more games that is not the issue

That being said 100 games in 4 months is way too much

I think for the teams that don’t make internationals there should be like a showmatchesque type league for cash prizes or whatever that may not give much viewership but teams still have games

There has to be more third party tournaments with more teams

summary: valorant needs third party events and ideally those events should mean something prizepool wise or riot eco system wise so that the teams will actually care about it else till the franchised league has a substantial amount of teams involved it will be the same thing over and over

Cs doesn’t have a format per se… teams do their best to be at the creme de la crème of events aka majors(x2 a year), cologne, Katowice…

After that Pro league is a chill out type sitch over a couple of weeks, esl partners get invited then the rest of the spots are split to other smaller tourneys and they runners up as well as esl ranking.

Blast also run their stuff on the side but in a more convoluted way that lead to spring, fall and world finals

Iem/ esl dallas, Chengdu etc are invites and qualifier based that teams can decline to take a break etc

Esl also run tier 2 leagues across all the regions…

There’s the weplay, res regionals…. Basically a tonne of tier 2-3 tourneys to let those guys showcase their stuff as well as the t1 teams can use to get back into a groove after a break etc

They need to find a balance to not stress players too much nor make the audience go away.

CS is stressful as hell for players, a lot of them talk so much about the crazyness of it.
