how much weight does ewc hold
are we giving it masters or champs value
or is it just another mickey mouse off-season tourney

offseason but higher
but not as high as a masters
only higher than normal offseason events because of prize pool

organised by riot = relevant
organised by third parties = irrelevant
apparently cod now holds ewc in high regard despite dismissing it in the beginning but im not a cod player so idk how factual this statement is

i think he was refering to the "organised by third parties = irrelevant" part, most of cs (/dota) tier 1 lans are organised by 3rd parties, however it works differently in riots games, they have very structured comp system and anything outside of the official system is... less relevant, apex for exapmle also holds ewdc to the hights of official lans but thats because you dont have to be cautious about revealing strats or anything

oh i see what you mean now yeah, tbf csgo held third party-organised tournaments since its inception whereas riot always stuck to their own schedule so ppl watching riot games arent really used to them, ewc needs to happen first before any judgements can be made

I think about as big as Masters cause of the prize pool, and the fact only top teams are getting invited + open qualifers

there's nothing open about those quals only for vct teams that means they could have just invited top 4 teams from VCT stage 1 and it wouldn't have made a difference

If peoples favorite team wins theyll hold it as a champs level tourny in reality its like a redbull homeground with more money

right now its like a better red bull homeground.

However i can see is gaining legitimacy over time and become a masters level in a few years. But not now. And definitely nowhere close to champs

We discount it entirely and don't watch it cause its sports washing by the saudi government
