The current format feels tacky and dumb with the open qualifiers
League has an awful format, you guys do realize they only have 2 international events per year, and 1 of them is MSI which ppl hype up, but no one really cares about. In League, it's all about worlds.
If you want low level competition throughout the whole year except for ONE tournament at the end of the year, then yeah, League format is amazing. In other words, it's garbage.
Fair point I guess. To be fair, all formats will have positives and negatives, but the thing is, usually what's positive for us spectators is negative for the pros, they're human too you know, we can't expect them to play at the absolute highest level throughout the whole year.
So just like with everything in life, the key is to find a balance. IMO this Valorant's format favors the pros too heavily, I'm pretty sure they don't need 2-week breaks in between games.
