am i crazy or was the schedule in 2022 perfect? there was a 3-4 month off season after and games for most of the year. a teams season wasn’t over after 5 matches. why not just copy that?

if he was acoustic the system would be thought out and well developed, he is just acephalous
because they thought implementing franchising was a better idea but teams like eg are about to be broke so idk how good it was
franchising is stupid they should get rid of it and make everything open qualifiers. 2 regional leagues a year 2 masters 2 champs 1 month off season in december easy
2022 had two challengers (i.e. the equivalent to the ILs today) splits. Both splits had group stages with 5 matches per team, plus playoffs for the teams that qualified. Then there was LCQ, double elim, i.e. min 2 matches per team.
2024 will have two IL splits. Both splits will give each team 5 matches, plus playoffs for the teams that qualify. Then before the two splits there's kickoff, which has min 2 matches per team (actually there will be only one team that gets 2 matches, most teams will get at least 3).
I don't love the 2024 schedule, but I feel like it's extremely comparable to the 2022 schedule? At least in terms of number of games played, which seems to be most people's issue anyway. I still think they should do two full round robin splits, but it's not like this is breaking some sort of precedent.
True, the open quals were pretty fun to watch. Akrew beating SEN was legendary.
Edit: This was not supposed to be a dig at your flair btw, the match was just wild.
