Are Too Many Tournaments Ruining Fun Of CS:GO?

Let me be clear first of all, i not trying to ruin your personal decision to go and attend/watch every csgo tournament at all but personally i feel this that when it's hard for a person like me to keep track of all these tournaments as an analyst what will you be going through and not even fans imagine what will the players and coaches would be feeling towards everything maybe that's the reason why players like n0thing & shroud left competitive csgo as stress was lot to take in than the glory. And not even stress imagine flying 5-12 hours to attend a event in different country and losing the first match and getting sent back home the next day.
