Valorant Pros Are Not Happy With Riot’s Plans For VCT 2024 Season

i guess they want to troll people with this schedule, no rest for 7 months AGAIN

can we at least get some explanation why we are not getting longer season where people can actually rest in mid-season, instead of playing non-stop especially if you are qualifying to every event? https://t.co/XDXq0p4VpT

Riot Games will be introducing a new Masters event which will be held in Madrid. The Kick-off event will be regional this time and the best teams of the region will be competing for a shot at Masters Madrid. VCT 2024 will also introduce a unique system of “Championship Points” where the best teams will accumulate points based on their performance to acquire a slot at Champions, the year-ending event of the competitive Valorant season. Professional Fnatic player, Timofey “Chronicle” Khromov has shared his insights about the newly introduced VCT system and has shed light on the bigger picture.

In the current season, Fnatic has attended almost all the events in the tour and as a result, Chronicle has gone through a long year of competitive Valorant. According to him, VCT needs a significant amount of player breaks to allow players and teams enough rest in their journey to become the best. Another major issue with the current tournament format is that it provides no proper solution for the extended duration of the OFF//Season. This particular situation seems to be a bit hazy for both fans and pros as the community awaits a detailed response from Riot.
