Plus nobody cares about VNLThe VNL gets to show case the top
Is there still prize money involved? VNL used to be popular before the COVID pandemic than now - lesser audience now both in the area and over the air (broadcast. VNL is the place where potential great players and great players get to show themselves to the world. So much better if there is money involved, who does not want money. For lesser known players, getting the money is a huge incentive to want to play in the tournament. Top players might not get fired up to play, they play for the national pride. The schedule is gruesome to players. Top players those earning lots of money and it is not really worth it to take parti since they might get injured for this tournament with less reward I.e. the prize money (1st place) the player might get $60,000 but got injured and have to be sideline from playing pro tournaments when he/she getting at least say half a million US dollars yearly.. This is probably the reason some top players (especially if one is from the 🇨🇳NT who have to play in every match though they don’t have a choice because the coach cares more of the rankings than the players well beings / health.) don’t want to play the VNL from the beginning to the end of the tournament.
