Why do VCT broadcasts cut away before a team's setup, missing the details?

[RileyA]

I’ve been watching the VCT matches pretty religiously, but I’m starting to feel like the observer misses so many crucial early-round utility setups and micro-plays. Does anyone else get that weird feeling that we’re only seeing half the story, especially when the broadcast cuts away right as a team is setting up for a complex execute?

I felt that too while watching VCT, like the observer skips the quiet pre setups and my heart rate jumps when an execute lands suddenly.

In theory the early utility is where the plan lives so if the frame hides those details we miss the chain of micro decisions that follow in VCT.

Maybe the observer is just chasing spectacle in VCT and the slow lineups get shown only in the replay, I think I misread the intent.

What if the thing we call a setup is a myth and the real value is in on the fly reactions in VCT?

[David.S]

I am skeptical we miss half the story in VCT the broadcast structure compresses time and we often get the result before the why.

As a writer I notice the long beat before the push in VCT that looks like setup but the rhythm hides a lot the camera cant reveal.

I sometimes tune out the cuts and track the micro plans in VCT and it still bugs me when the payoff comes late.
