there's also the unrelated issue of the missed promotion opportunity. like, they could've had a pre-season podcast going through the rosters of all the returning teams, and synergized it with an article on each for tftv. then they could've announced qualifiers way earlier, figured out the teams in advance, and previewed those two. that sort of thing, yknow?
let's get some hype back here, man. (says the guy who hasn't played in almost 2 years at this point, but just my .02)
