VCT 2023’s severely tight schedule forced Riot Games into the crosshairs of several professional VALORANT players, who alleged that they were being denied adequate rest between high-stakes tournaments. Unfortunately, the upcoming VCT 2024 season looks no better, and Fnatic’s star flex Timofey “Chronicle” Khromov, has had enough.
On Aug. 23, Riot Games announced a super-packed schedule for VCT 2024, including a kickoff event, two Masters events, two international league stages, and the final year-end event, VALORANT Champions. While die-hard VCT fans will be treated to an action-packed year, there seem to be no reasonable breaks for athletes in between events, mostly affecting top-performing teams that qualify for every event in the season.
