problem with vct

i hate the all league games are on LAN, feel like it takes away from the hype of masters a bit because one of the biggest things that pulled me towards masters and champs early in VCT was that it was on LAN

All esport games supposed to be on LAN. Online tournaments was a covid thing and objectively unfair

LAN keeps fraudulent players away from the scene as everyone is trying their best to win on LAN. This weeds out the lower end players who make it through based on networking. The less LAN the less self-policing by the community which means a worse experience for everyone.

Looks so much like 1.6 did. The only way to break into the t1 scene is literally take a team to the end and then get picked apart and one less team to root for in the community/tournament scene.

yeah and orgs are leaving rocket league left and right bc it isn't stable, hell, the 2nd best team itw left this year because they were LOSING money on the esport

i also hate franchising, it's lame, kills hype, and got rid of a lot of beloved orgs, but i don't think rocket league is the best system to try to be emulating

What's the point in franchising if it's played online then? Also considering Ping issue, online regionals wouldn't work if the region is as big as the whole AMERICAS north and south, Europe AND Middle East AND Africa, and a whole ASIA which is the biggest continent + Pacific Oceania

not even the problem........ Lack of matches, lack of events, 6 months for teams who are eliminated before champs, teams being able to suck 0-11 and remain in the league

ive been saying this. games being on LAN means they cant have as many games played too because it takes longer n requires more planning. rlcs hosts its regionals on LAN and they managed to get through THREE open qualifiers in the time it took vct to have its kickoff.

I don't feel that way but I get what you mean. However, in a tac fps game like valorant things like ping matter a LOT. Think about how bad that would be for regions like Americas or Pacific where the regions are very big, and there's just a lot more outside factors that could affect the integrity of the games if it's not on LAN. Theoretically in your eyes you're sacrificing hype of internationals so that you can have higher quality region matches, and personally considering how important the regional matches are for getting to internationals, I'm okay with that sacrifice
