If Riot's esport department is so against Double Elimination at Worlds for League of Legends, why does Valorant's version of Worlds now have double elim both in groups (GSL groups) AND double elim in the playoff stage afterwards?

yeah the scheduling is really the issue. like you said you get a csgo tourny going and its a week of group stage, 2 days off for the weekend and then its all playoffs.

entire week just becomes like 'csgo week' and its almost like a festival for CS everyone in the community is hyped as fuck if you go to an event (ive been to a few) everyone around the area is cs fans in the bars and what not if your close to the venue, its amazing we bascially just takeover a part of the city and turn it into counter strike land. cs tournaments are more like cs conventions and its an amazing experience both as a spectator and to be there live

league doesnt have anything like that at all, it becomes a chore to follow instead of a fun event.
