VCT MOST BORING FORMAT EVER?

#1

ur fav team 1 game per week if its a win it will be a good week waiting but if its a loss then it would be a shitty week for u to wait .imo they should just make the qualifier in 3 weeks or in 1 month without stretching out every week so that when the qualifer for masters ended all teams have like 2-3 months of free time so that those teams can be play any redbull mickey mouse tourney or whatever to play to increase their team chem for next qualifier . ggwp rito u ruined ur owned qualifer and other tournament organisers since u holding them hostage in this stalling once a week game meta qualifier in league . ggs

I don't think the format is boring because it allows every team to play 5 games but they definitely ruined it by having a week break after every 3 goddam matches, basically I think the issue is the timing between games not the format.

no its not lol, in real sports teams need to travel around also u have a lot more weekend where games are played, in real football u have a game every week/twice a week for almost the whole year, in total its 40-60 games, while in val u have 5 games and if yoiu mess up you have to wait 3 months
players donte even have to travel around, imo a full round robin woudlve been better, meaning everyone plays everyone, 11 games, 2 per weekend, one weekend with 3 games, add thursday to the calender and thats it. it must be hella annoying for pros to lose 2 maps just to wait for a whole week.
if you are a non-fan and you wanna watch every game the current format is good, u have 2 games a day for 3 days (4 if you watch both NA and EMEA)

its just qualifiers and this way it promotes the most consistent teams to go to masters. And you don't get a fluke run in to an international event

a double roudn robin makes it even harder to fluke tho, also in EMEA only 3 go to playoffs from each group
for example the G2 vs Fnatic already looks like it was the decidrer to who makes top3 and who doesnt

G2 can win against Guild or FNC can lose to a Turkish team. Nothing is set in stone. With the amount of time these guys have, they will be adapting and improving. This is not something static.

The tiebreaker is most likely gonna be head to head performance

I think it will be the round differential.

round differntial is a very useless stat imo
Val rounds can be super inconsitent + u might wanna play some games save jsut to close out the map instead of rushing to get rounds, it has never been round differential for the tiebreaker nor should it ever be, map differential is fine tho, but I think H2H is best

The only reason i think it could be round differential is cause they mention it in the table. I agree tho, seems super inconsistent for sure.

Riot is trying out different formats,
i personally really the weekly format, but time will tell.
vanity on reddit also pointed out it lets teams grow during the event and avoids cases of one team popping off on one weekend nd then dropping off.

What? This is good, the only loss you have is that you have to wait, other than that, you get to watch your team play against every team in your group? Ex: if you are knights fans, you would have normally seen them play like 2 series and be out, but now you get to watch the, play against the likes of optics, sen, nrg, rise, etc. isn’t that more interesting and fun?

This a better format than last year's, you have matches from Thursday to Sunday that's 4 days full of Valorant specially with KR and JP starting soon you can literally watch games any time of the day, also teams get to fix their mistakes thus more quality matches

This is a better format than the one implemented last year. It is healthy for the team as it gives them enough time to adapt and improvise instead of being out for the whole circuit because of 1 bad week. It is also great for viewers as your games are streamed in the weekends for a whole month instead of 1 week of games followed by nothing. This gives rise to various story lines and increases the hype. And at the end you have the playoffs as usual. And if you want something to watch on the weekdays, you can take take a look at the ongoing VRL series.

Sure, this could have been better but it is an improvement over last year.

teams and players like the format better, and im confused about how youd rather watch a tournament in a couple weeks and then wait months for the next real event as opposed to simply waiting like 4 days for the next group stage matches. its more consistent and overall actually way less waiting time

Last year format was qualy after qualy after qualy. I honestly hated it. This year everything is way fitting. You see your team less? Yes. But better on the long run.
