I'll be out of the loop, I won't know about the most recent upsets, who's on form, who's not, what state matchup X or Y is in, etc. Six months ago Rain hadn't played a televised series (and all we'd really seen of kespa players was some of the hybrid proleague, and the small side-tourney at anaheim). Seed had just won a GSL. Taeja had just been beaten by Tassadar in the GSTL. He hadn't even played in the IPL TAC 3 yet. DRG had just won an MLG. Life was still on ZENEX, Naniwa was still on quantic, etc. Now the scene's completely different. People rise, people fall, it happens very quickly in our scene and if you take a month off you'll miss out, and there's no easy way to catch up on previous months going ons (as I found out while writing this post) | ||

TV shows and movies release dates, season spacings, even scene lengths during a single show make or break a show. NFL is massive because fans are frothing for it between seasons (season is only 17 weeks + playoffs. NFL has one of the highest viewships on the planet. Mad fans (like me) will just watch everything. We won't take time off by choice, we will just keep watching even as it dulls our excitement. We need it turned off for us so we can come back more excited than ever. | ||

They build up hype and make each victory seem more significant, but I wouldn't mind if the less popular events occupied the time in between. The worst is when there is a lot of overlap. My thoughts exactly...and bigger prizepools  | ||

Players definitely need a break, the smaller events should fill the gap between the majors. This would give major players a break and a chance for up and comers to take smaller cups. | ||
