No they won’t do it. The logistics of sending everyone out of the country is too hard.

A lot of these super crazy religious people are Calvinists. There are different levels of Calvinism, but as you go higher it means that there is no free will. All humans are “on rails” essentially, just completing the design of God. Even to the point that all humans who exist have been pre-sorted into going to heaven or hell before they are even born. Individual actions don’t matter, and if you’re going to hell there’s nothing you can do to change it. It’s the will of God.

The reason midseason tournaments of any kind won’t take hold is due to cultural differences.

In Europe & the UK these divisional leagues and tourneys make sense because they evoke the literal thousands of years of bitter struggle and conquest different groups had over each other. London by itself is made of up an amalgamation of different groups who were all trying to conquer each other or fend off being conquered.

So there’s an ingrained rivalry between states and cities from way back.

In the United States the culture is of one primary colonizing group (Europe/The White Man), and then one group overthrowing the UK to become the U.S.

It’s a culture of “Win the whole thing, and all at once.” Which is why we’re very championship focused.
