How to make a bo7 work

#1

Hear me out
Use your academy/affiliated challengers team roster.
Mix and match the players and coaches however you prefer
Immediate upsides
1) Challengers teams have a really good chance to actually play in t1 even if its just 1 map
2) Mental fatigue of 7 maps is removed as breaks are available
3) More diversity in team comps based on what you want to run
4) More reasons for challenger teams to join and affiliate with t1 teams because it stabalizes t2
Downsides
To be honest idk the only thing i can see is probably just a lack of practice and unfamiliarity but that can be solved by simply doing scrims or playing even in bo3's and bo5's together

And to promote it. You get extra MONEY, for both teams reliably from riot for the job.
Riot probably never implements this but would be fun

I mean, you probably know which team you're affiliating yourself with right so practice with them however much you want is all id say
Also makes substitute rosters not some excuse for losing

they'd prolly js shift the blame from them and put it on the academy coach

Eh put the academy team and the t1 team as 4 coaches in the booth.
Then no one can blame eachother for losing because its on all of them

they'd shift the blame to the academy players due to stage play inexperience

And its not like you're probably going to sub the entire academy/affiliate roster at one time itself.
You could Just sub in players for others based on what you want to run

Its fun as well comedy gold in a match, makes the game more unpredictable

Besides if teams want to seriously win they'll probably (if in the scenario it did happen), start training with their academy/affiliate team as well so that they can culture good players

true but it would be way too annoying to see and it especially ruins the mood and hype on a grand final

Eh. But for a bo7 this is the best way i find viable to not make it extreme on the players and coaches.

Growing pains for the val community if it happens ig

playing possibly 7 straight games of actual competitive valorant trying your hardest and keeping composure is only for those who truly deserve the win

im up for the implementation

curious how production and stuff would work, since they have to be there and attend hours before the matches start

also it feels really draining to watch 7 straight hours of valorant tbh it wouldn't be good to attract new fans to the scene

Maybe divide it like 3 maps per day, and your 1 ticket buys for all the 3 days that the maps run
So like if the team wins 2-1, it pauses there, then next day it continues and it goes lets say 3-3, then you go to last day which is the decider.

ehh I don't really like having an unequal maps on different days because then it leads to the final day being a 40 minute match which kinda sucks ass

Personally, I think the BO5 system is perfect how it is

thats like a 10 hour stream, and also have you thought about the audience that are watching at the venue?
