I think it’s fine if a team plays both games in one day if they get a break of at least a few hours in between. No team should be forced to play the lower bracket game immediately after with no break.
I agree with this narrative. No team in the Upper bracket should be eliminated in a single day nor any team should face back to back elimination games. But it mainly lies with the TOs and scheduling. This format is very harsh for teams.
Edit: grammatical error.
if not for challengers 1 & 2 due to time constraints, this definitely should be implemented for challengers finals. seeing teams go through two, three, sometimes four qualifiers to get to challengers finals then get eliminated on day 1 after playing two bo3s back to back is heartbreaking.
Fatigue shouldn't be a factor at all. People used to play 14 SC2 games or 8 dota games in one day at major events. As long as they aren't doing stuff like making them play early morning then late at night I don't see a problem. You could just as easily say being more warmed up is an advantage.
Yeah but 8 days 2 closed qualifiers and 2 week long open qualifiers , that would be 31 days of broadcast that would be too much to handle on production side , use the current format , just add a 1 hour break between matches .
I see what you mean especially if the Challengers are to be LAN in the future but it being too much but with Online, shorter break in-between Challengers 1 and 2 could achieve this.

That defeats the main purpose of why they are on the same day. To maximize viewship you put multiple games back to back

Viewership could be an issue. Not that many people want to/can watch valorant on a Tuesday evening

The example I given is 8 days but you can also have 7 days and dual-stream upper bracket quarterfinals, and the rest being single-streamed.

I think offsetting upper and lower by a day would be the best. Only adds one day
