why would anyone want to host a tournament when everyone just calls it mickey mouse?
2027 this will happen, blast will run tournaments and possibly esl as well
no we won't lmao. next years format still has the same problem for 3rd parties that the current one does, theres no incentive.
why would Blast, ESL, PGL or any other organizer want to run a tournament that will just inherently be pointless compared to a Masters or Champs. why would anyone want to host a tournament when none of the teams will take it seriously or even attend, and none of the fans will watch and just write off as "mickey mouse". The only way any 3rd party tournaments will get an sort of traction is if they have ridiculously high prize pools ($1m+), or Riot allows Champs points to be involved.
Fans would take it seriously overtime if it’s consistent, the only problem people have with ewc is the Saudi stuff
Its not even just EWC. Offseason tournaments like Redbull Homeground or SOOP are routinely mocked by both the fans and teams themselves. Why would anyone bother to host something in Valorant if this is the culture thats already been established?
the reason ppl call EWC mickey is because the format was dogshit, the event wasnt played on lan (even the different stages had different ping) AND then cause ppl hate EWC on a political level, if blast ran an event and it wasnt shit ppl wouldnt call it micket lmao
blast and pgl are confirmed TOs for next year. the point of an open circuit is for more tournaments and so masters aren’t the only big tournaments. why would teams not take tournaments seriously at all, it makes no fucking sense
there should be a big tournament every month. less time scrimming more time playing
disagree. it would just make internationals feel like regionals and way less important and rare. next year format is good we just need 4-5 open qualifiers a split on a point-based system and its great
idk i see that side of the argument but it feels like we can't have storylines / dynasties like they can have in CS because tournaments are so few and far between
i dont want valorant to be like cs i want it to be its own thing. if i wanted to watch cs i would go watch cs
people will find a way to cry about it and call it mickey even if it has a higher prize pool than masters or champs
why does prize pool change if its mickey mouse or not
format and teams attending are the main ones
format and ping is the main reason. especially ping, how can pro tournaments be played on ping??
i can see blast doing smaller scale 3rd party events in the future, maybe if they go well they'll go bigger.
